About this course

This course takes a complete beginner from a vague sense that money is tight to running working capital as a disciplined, measurable system. You will calculate days sales outstanding, days inventory outstanding, and days payable outstanding, combine them into the cash conversion cycle, and translate every day of that cycle into real dollars locked up in the business. From there you will build collections systems, economic order quantity and ABC inventory control, payables strategy that protects supplier relationships, a rolling 13-week cash forecast, and the right mix of lines of credit, invoice factoring, and supplier terms to bridge the gap. Every module is built on worked examples, real benchmarks, and the specific decisions an owner or finance manager makes to keep the business liquid while it grows.
