Using The Fast Money Formula Feature in The Clear Path To Cash App

What is The Fast Money Formula? #

Overview #

The Clear Path To Cash App offers a powerful financial analysis tool called the “Fast Money Formula,” designed to help you optimize your company’s cash management strategy. This feature is based on “The Fast Money Formula” taught in Cash Flow Mike’s Clear Path To Cash Course. In this article, we will guide you through how to use this feature effectively.

Accessing the Fast Money Formula #

To get started with the Fast Money Formula feature, follow these steps:

1. Log In: Log in to your Clear Path To Cash App account.
2. Navigate to Fast Money Formula: Look for “Fast Money Formula” in the left-side navigation menu. Click on it to access the feature.
3. Select a Period: In a drop down menu in the upper right side of the feature, you’ll need to select a specific period for analysis. This period will serve as the basis for your Fast Money Formula calculations.

Optimizing for Inventory-Based Companies #

If your company deals with inventory, the Fast Money Formula graph will focus on optimizing your cash conversion cycle. It calculates the financial gap between the company’s cash and its actual cash needs to operate smoothly. The results are color-coded for easy interpretation: red indicates a negative financial gap, while blue represents a positive financial gap.

Interactive Slider System #

The Fast Money Formula feature includes an interactive slider system. This allows you to conduct “what if” scenarios to explore how adjusting various variables can improve your company’s cash conversion cycle. By moving the sliders, you can fine-tune your financial strategy and identify potential improvements.

Setting Goals #

Once you’ve found a scenario that aligns with your financial goals, the Fast Money Formula feature displays a goal amount. This goal serves as a target for you to work towards, helping you make informed decisions and improvements in each variable to optimize your cash conversion cycle.

Optimizing for Service-Based Companies #

For service-based businesses, the Fast Money Formula feature tailors the cash conversion cycle optimization to focus on payroll. The graph will show you how many payroll periods need to be covered during the accounts receivable (AR) turnover period.

Interactive Sliders for Payroll #

Similar to the inventory-based optimization, service-based companies also benefit from an interactive slider system. These sliders allow you to conduct “what if” scenarios for payroll calculations, helping you find the ideal balance to manage your payroll effectively.

The Line of Credit Feature #

The Line of Credit feature in the Fast Money Formula helps you quickly address cash flow shortages by identifying how much additional funding your business may need to operate smoothly. One common solution to a cash flow gap is using a line of credit, and this feature provides the insights you need to make informed decisions.

Here’s how it works:

• Determine Your Credit Needs: The app calculates your cash flow status and tells you exactly how much funding is needed to cover the shortage. This amount represents the additional cash your business requires to maintain smooth operations.
• Evaluate Your Current Line of Credit: If you already have a line of credit, you can enter your credit limit and current balance into the app. It will instantly calculate your available credit and let you know if it’s enough to cover the shortage.
• Simulate Scenarios: Using the interactive sliders, you can adjust variables like credit limits, balances, and cash flow needs to explore different solutions. Whether you’re considering increasing your line of credit, reducing expenses, or improving receivables, the app lets you test various scenarios to find the best approach for solving your cash flow issue.

By using the Fast Money Formula, you’ll gain clarity on your cash flow situation and the tools to create an actionable plan—whether that includes leveraging a line of credit or finding alternative solutions. This feature ensures that you always know what steps to take to keep your business running smoothly.
