# Cash flow

> Cash flow is the cash that really came in and went out over a period, and its net says whether your cash grew or shrank.

Dashing (dashingerp.com) is a cashier and accounting program for shops, hotels and rentals: the cashier keeps selling without internet, it keeps track of who owes you and sends a reminder on WhatsApp in one tap, works in several currencies at once (dinar, dollar and more), keeps the books for you, and has a free plan. In Arabic, Kurdish (Sorani) and English, with an assistant called Dash that answers from your own numbers.

## What it means for a shop owner

A shop can profit on paper and still fail to pay rent because its money sits in customer debts and stock. That is why you watch cash flow beside profit: profit says whether the shop works, cash flow says whether it can pay tomorrow.

## A worked example

In the month 2000 came in as cash and 1700 went out to suppliers and rent. Net cash flow = 2000 - 1700 = +300, and a 500 sale on credit is not part of it.
