A cash flow statement tells you how much cash is entering and leaving your business.
Do you have that number at your fingertips?
Starting from £1,200.00 + VAT
Cash flow is the lifeblood of a business.
If you don’t keep track of how much cash you have on hand within a timeframe, you’re setting your business up for failure.
That’s why you must prepare cash flow statements.
They highlight liquidity, changes in assets, liabilities and equity, and help you predict future cash flows.
But your cash flow statement can only ever be as accurate as your bookkeeping.
More importantly, producing cash flow projections is necessary to procure funding.
Whatever your goal is, hire us!
We’ll make sure everything adds up, so your cash flow picture is always clear.
Now let’s see how much cash you have on hand in reality, not how much you’ve spent in theory.

I am delighted and happy with the services provided regarding my tax return, both my return and business return, including annual accounts and submission. I would describe 3E’S Accountants as professional, highly trustworthy, quick and empathetic. They handled HMRC compliance check and investigation proactively and confidently that I didn’t realise when it was started and completed. They know what they are doing, and I found them highly professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend 3E’S Accountants to everyone.

Frequently asked questions
There is essentially one main type of cash flow statement, but it can be prepared using two different methods:
- Direct method, which involves listing all major cash receipts and cash payments; it directly reports cash inflows and outflows from operating activities
- Indirect method, which starts with the net income and adjusts for changes in balance sheet accounts to convert accrual basis accounting to cash basis accounting; it’s more commonly used since it’s easier to prepare from the existing financial statements
A cash flow statement consists of three main components:
- Operating activities: This section reports the cash generated or used by the business’ core operations, including cash receipts from sales and cash payments for expenses.
- Investing activities: This section includes cash flows from the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets, such as property, equipment, and investments.
- Financing activities: This section details cash flows related to borrowing, repaying debt, issuing shares, and paying dividends.
A cash flow statement should be prepared regularly to provide timely and accurate information about the business’ cash position. The frequency depends on the needs of the business:
- Monthly: Recommended for most businesses to closely monitor cash flow and make timely decisions
- Quarterly: Common for businesses that do not require monthly monitoring
- Annually: At a minimum, to comply with financial reporting requirements and for year-end analysis
To prepare a cash flow statement, you will need the following information:
- Balance sheet at the beginning and end of the period
- Income statement (profit and loss statement) for the period
- Details of all cash transactions, including receipts and payments
- Information on non-cash transactions that need to be adjusted, such as depreciation and changes in working capital
Under UK accounting standards, all companies that prepare financial statements are required to include a cash flow statement. This includes:
- Public limited companies (PLCs)
- Private limited companies (Ltds)
- Limited liability partnerships (LLPs)
Small businesses may be exempt from preparing a cash flow statement if they qualify as micro-entities under the Companies Act 2006. Micro-entities are typically very small businesses that meet at least two of the following criteria:
- Turnover of £632,000 or less
- Balance sheet total of £316,000 or less
- 10 or fewer employees
However, even if exempt, it is still a good practice for small businesses to prepare cash flow statements to manage their finances effectively and make informed business decisions.
