The Monday morning blind spot: how to see your real cash position every day
Your real cash position is bank balance, plus payouts in transit from Stripe or Razorpay, minus bills due in the next 14 days. Pull those three numbers from their sources every morning — not from last month's report — and you will see cash dips weeks before they happen.
Why the number is always wrong
Your bank shows yesterday. Your accounting tool shows what was entered. Your payment gateway holds money that hasn't landed. None of them alone is your cash position.
The daily cash formula
Real cash = bank balance + payouts in transit − bills and payroll due in 14 days.
- Bank balance: from the live bank feed, not the ledger.
- In transit: pending payouts from Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal or Wise.
- Due soon: approved bills, payroll and taxes in the next two weeks.
A 10-minute morning routine
- Check the three numbers above and write down the result.
- Compare with yesterday — any move over 10% needs a reason.
- List the top three overdue invoices and who is chasing them.
- Flag any week in the next six where cash goes below one month of costs.
