We use Vistr for small business cashflow management to give clients a clear picture of their cash flow in the next three months.

1. Why we use Vistr

2. As a cloud bookkeeper, we aim to provide simple
advice to our clients that improve their business, and
makes it easy for them to understand and implement.

3. Managing cash flow is stressful but a constant in
business. So we use Vistr to give clients a clear picture
of their cash flow in the next three months. They feel in
control and get a peace-of-mind to focus on their
business.

4. Cash flow forecasting with Vistr requires minimal pre-
meeting preparation. Vistr automatically syncs with
Xero, so when we keep the books updated, we just
login to Vistr at the client meeting.

5. The information is so easy to understand that we use it
with our clients during client meetings. It helps us
further demonstrate value to our clients. They get
really engaged with Vistr. We even give them access to
their Vistr account. It’s great to see that they check the
cash flow every week, and put our advice into practice.

6. CASE STUDY: Digital Agency
My client is a wonderful digital agency, designing and
building websites for some of Australia’s best-known
companies. Their work is project based, cash flow is
lumpy, and large companies tend to be late payers.
Managing cash flow is a challenge for them, frequently
feeling like they are not in control..
We decided to help them by offering the client cash
flow forecasting with Vistr.
Why Vistr worked so well for the client?

7. Quick & easy to setup
It took minutes to setup Vistr using their simple
integration with Xero.
Immediate value for the client
The client immediately understood Vistr’s forecast –
seeing the money-in & money-out in the next three
months.

8. Customised to their needs
We helped them customised the forecast to track IT
costs, payroll and contractors so they could easily see
the big capital spend in the next 3 months.
See the ATO obligation ahead
Getting visibility to the next GST, PAYG and
Superannuation payment helped them plan ahead -
knowing when and how much to pay.

9. Matching money-in & money out
No more guess work to see when customers are likely
to pay their invoices. Seeing the mismatch between
money-in & money-out (especially payroll weeks) really
motivated them to chase debtors.
Peace of mind to move forward & grow
Gaining control and visibility gave them comfort to plan
ahead. They are now planning their cash use and
started paying monthly directors superannuation.
