“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 doesn’t offer real-time external sharing capabilities, and native cash flow reports require manual generation and export, creating delays between actual cash position changes and investor visibility.
Here’s how to provide investors with current cash position visibility without QuickBooks system access while maintaining complete data security.
Enable real-time cash flow sharing using Coefficient
Coefficient enables real-time QuickBooks cash flow sharing with investors through automated data synchronization and secure QuickBooks spreadsheet sharing, providing investors with current cash position visibility without QuickBooks system access.
How to make it work
Step 1. Set up automated cash flow imports.
Import QuickBooks Cash Flow Statement using Coefficient’s “From QuickBooks Report” method. Configure daily or weekly automated refresh schedules to maintain current cash position data. Include multiple time periods for trend analysis (current month, previous months, projections).
Step 2. Create investor-focused cash flow dashboards.
Build executive cash flow summaries highlighting current cash balance and available credit facilities, monthly burn rate calculations and runway projections, operating cash flow trends and seasonal variations, and major cash inflows/outflows with management commentary. Add visual charts showing cash flow trends and runway scenarios.
Step 3. Implement real-time sharing.
Share Google Sheets with view-only permissions to specific investors. Investors access updated cash flow data automatically without manual report distribution. Set up email notifications when significant cash flow changes occur.
Step 4. Add investor-specific features.
Create cash covenant tracking for debt investors showing compliance status. Build scenario analysis tools for different growth/burn rate assumptions. Include management commentary sections for context on cash flow variances.
Step 5. Configure advanced monitoring.
Set up automated runway calculations with real-time cash runway projections based on current burn rates. Create covenant monitoring with automated alerts when cash levels approach debt covenant thresholds. Build scenario planning with interactive models showing cash impact of different business decisions.
Build investor confidence through transparency
This real-time approach builds investor confidence through transparent, continuous cash flow visibility while maintaining complete security over sensitive QuickBooks operational data. Enable real-time cash flow sharing with Coefficient today.
