Cash Flow & Burn

The Cash Flow & Burn Dashboard provides a detailed view of liquidity strength, cash generation capacity, and the organization’s ability to sustain operations through internally generated funds. It enables finance leaders to monitor operating cash performance, capital intensity, leverage coverage, and short-term solvency on a monthly basis.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)​

  • Cash Ratio: Measures the organization’s ability to cover current liabilities using only cash and cash equivalents. Higher values indicate stronger immediate liquidity and lower short-term financial risk, while lower values signal reliance on receivables or other short-term asset conversions to meet obligations.
  • Operating Cash Flow Ratio: Measures the proportion of current liabilities that can be covered by operating cash flow. Higher values indicate stronger cash generation from core operations relative to short-term obligations, while lower values signal tighter operational liquidity.
  • Cash Flow Coverage Ratio: Measures the organization’s ability to service total obligations using operating cash flow. Higher values indicate greater debt-servicing capacity and lower financial risk, while lower values reflect increased dependency on external financing.
  • Working Capital to Total Asset Ratio: Measures the proportion of total assets financed by net working capital. Higher values indicate stronger short-term financial stability and operational resilience, while lower values suggest tighter liquidity relative to asset base.
  • Cash to Current Liabilities: Measures the extent to which current liabilities are covered by available cash. Higher values reflect stronger solvency and reduced short-term default risk, while lower values indicate potential liquidity pressure.
  • Free Cash Flow: Represents cash generated from operations after accounting for capital expenditures. Higher values reflect greater financial flexibility for debt repayment, reinvestment, and shareholder returns, while lower or negative values indicate constrained cash availability.
