Cash in
Money coming into the business over the period you choose.
Cash visibility without the spreadsheet
Your dashboard brings the cash picture together, so you can see where cash is coming from and where it is going.
Cash out
Money leaving the business, so spending is easy to follow.
Burn rate
How quickly the business is using cash.
Liquidity
Your cash position over time, forecast and actual.
Compare actual cash with your plan
A cash forecast earns its keep when you can see how reality is tracking against it. Ornbo compares actual performance with plan and shows how the outlook is changing, so shortfalls and surprises show up early enough to act on.
Model the decisions that move your cash
Cash is shaped by the choices you make. Your forecast includes the drivers behind it, so you can plan around them.

Ask your AI CFO about cash
Your AI CFO answers from your own financial model, then helps you turn the answer into an action.
“Why did our cash position change this month?”
“What happens to cash if we raise a round later than planned?”
“Which costs are driving our burn rate?”
Example questions are illustrative.
Cash runway: how long your cash will last
Runway is your cash balance divided by your monthly burn. It is the number investors and boards ask about first, and it changes every time your costs, revenue or funding plans change.
Worked example (illustrative)
£600,000
Cash in the bank
£50,000
Net burn per month
12 months
Runway (600,000 ÷ 50,000)
Hire two more people and burn rises to £60,000 a month, so runway falls to 10 months. Close a funding round and it extends. A single static calculation cannot show that. A forecast built on a connected model can, because hiring, spending and funding all sit in the same plan.

Frequently asked questions
What is cash flow forecasting?
Cash flow forecasting estimates the cash coming into and leaving your business over future periods, so you can see your expected cash position before it happens.
What is burn rate?
Burn rate is how quickly the business uses cash, usually measured per month. Ornbo shows it alongside cash in, cash out and liquidity.
What is cash runway?
Cash runway is how long your cash will last at the current rate of burn. Because Ornbo forecasts cash in, cash out and burn in one model, you can see how hiring, spending or funding decisions move your runway.
Is the cash forecast connected to my profit and loss and balance sheet?
Yes. Cash flow is forecast from the same financial model as your profit and loss and balance sheet, so the three statements stay consistent.
Can I compare actual cash with my plan?
Yes. Ornbo compares actual performance with plan and shows how the outlook is changing, so shortfalls show up early enough to act on.
