You don’t need to be a CFO to understand where your money’s going — you just need the right prompt.

If you’ve ever stared at your business expenses and thought “Okay, but what happens next month?”, this ChatGPT prompt gives you a clear picture in minutes.

Prompt Template:

Act as a business and finance expert with a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience

Create a monthly cash flow projection for a {TYPE OF BUSINESS} with {REVENUE AMOUNT} in annual revenue last cycle.

Include major expense categories and seasonal fluctuations.

Ask clarifying questions instead of making assumptions about information that is missing

Replace

  • {TYPE OF BUSINESS} — with context about the industry that you are in or are getting into
  • {REVENUE AMOUNT} — with the amount of sales that you had in the year you want your projection to be based off of (probably last year)

If the prompt doesn’t work as-is, modify it to fit your situation.
