Understanding Cash Flow Statements
A cash flow statement shows how cash moves in and out of your business over a period of time. It answers the critical question: where did my cash go?
Direct Method
Lists actual cash received from customers and cash paid to suppliers, employees, etc. Simpler to understand but harder to prepare from standard accounting records.
Indirect Method (Used Here)
Starts with net income and adjusts for non-cash items (like depreciation) and changes in working capital. Most commonly used by businesses and required by IFRS.
Operating
Cash from core business: sales collected, suppliers paid, wages, GCT remitted. The heartbeat of your business.
Investing
Cash spent on or received from long-term assets: buying equipment, selling a vehicle, purchasing property.
Financing
Cash from loans, owner investments, and repayments. Includes bank borrowings, loan principal payments, and owner drawings.
Why Cash Flow Matters for Jamaican Businesses
Profitable businesses can still fail if they run out of cash. In Jamaica, where payment terms can stretch to 60–90 days and exchange rate fluctuations affect import costs, tracking cash flow is essential. Banks look at your cash flow statement when evaluating loan applications — strong operating cash flow signals a healthy business.
