“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
QuickBooks provides static balance sheet reporting that requires manual updates for current cash analysis. Live cash position dashboards provide real-time visibility into liquidity that updates automatically as transactions are recorded.
Here’s how to build automated cash position dashboards that track your liquidity in real-time without manual balance sheet updates.
Create live cash dashboards using Coefficient
Coefficient provides the optimal solution for building live cash position dashboards from QuickBooks in Google Sheets. Set up automated refresh capabilities that overcome QuickBooks’ static balance sheet limitations with real-time cash monitoring.
How to make it work
Step 1. Import core cash data with automated refresh.
Import Balance Sheet data using Coefficient’s automated refresh capabilities and pull specific cash accounts including checking, savings, and money market using the Objects & Fields method. Import credit card and line of credit balances for complete liquidity picture with hourly or daily refresh schedules.
Step 2. Set up advanced cash flow analysis.
Import A/R Aging reports to forecast incoming cash from customer payments and pull A/P Aging data to project outgoing cash for vendor payments. Import upcoming bill and invoice data for cash flow projections and use Transaction List imports for detailed cash movement analysis.
Step 3. Build cash position calculations.
Calculate available cash by summing all cash accounts minus outstanding checks and determine net liquidity including available credit lines and short-term investments. Create cash runway calculations showing months of operating expenses covered by current cash and track daily cash burn patterns from transaction data.
Step 4. Create dashboard visualization and monitoring.
Build cash position trend charts showing historical and projected balances and create cash flow waterfall charts showing sources and uses of cash. Set up conditional formatting for cash level alerts and configure automatic notifications when cash falls below predetermined safety levels.
