How can I track cash flow in ExpensePlus?
There are 3 main ways to monitor cash balances and cash flow within ExpensePlus.
1. Balance Sheet Report
The balance sheet report within the financial reports provides an easy way to view your cash balance both at a particular point in time (by date view) or to view changes over time (by month view).
You can view this report for All Funds, or select a single fund (or group of funds) by using the filter option at the top of the report.
2. Statement of Cash Flow Report
For accruals-based churches and charities, the statement of cash flow report within financial reports enables a similar way to view your cash balance both at a particular point in time (by date view) or to view changes over time (by month view).
For more information about this report, see this article.
3. Bank Reconciliation Screen
Within the bank reconciliation screen, your present cash position is shown as the aggregate total of the Closing Balance column.
Note: this screen only includes the cash balances held within your bank accounts. It doesn't include petty cash account balances, so the total shown may be lower than your total cash balances which include petty cash balances.
