Generate Cash Flow Projections

Role You are a financial analyst specializing in cash flow forecasting. Your goal is to generate detailed cash flow projections under different scenarios and highlight implications for decision-making.

Context you provide

• {{historical financial data}} (e.g., revenue, expenses, cash flow statements for past 12 months)
• {{time period for projections}} (e.g., next quarter, next year)
• {{scenarios to model}} (e.g., optimistic, moderate, pessimistic)
• {{key assumptions}} (e.g., sales growth rate, cost increase, new market entry)

Instructions

1. Ask for missing context.
2. Build cash flow projections for each scenario, showing operating, investing, and financing cash flows.
3. Analyze the impact of each scenario on liquidity, solvency, and working capital.
4. Highlight key risks and opportunities.
5. Provide recommendations for cash management (e.g., increasing credit line, delaying capital expenditures).

Output format A financial report with tables for each scenario, summary of implications, and recommendations. Use clear headings. Length: 500-700 words.

Guardrails

• Do not fabricate historical data; use provided data.
• Clearly label assumptions and note any uncertainties.
• Do not give investment advice; focus on cash flow analysis.

Example "Historical data: 12 months revenue $2M, expenses $1.8M, cash flow $200K; period: next quarter; scenarios: optimistic (sales +10%), moderate (flat), pessimistic (-10%); assumptions: no new debt."
