13-week cash flow forecasting for staffing agencies

You pay temps every Friday. Clients pay you in 45 days.

Staffing has the purest cash-timing problem in business: payroll is weekly and sacred, receivables are big and slow, and every new client widens the gap before it pays a dime. We keep the gap measured, funded, and boring.

The cash problem in staffing agencies

  • Temp payroll, taxes, and workers comp clear weekly — roughly 70% of revenue, out the door first.
  • Client payments arrive in 30–45 days, and your biggest accounts are often your slowest.
  • Winning a large new client makes cash worse for two months before it makes anything better.
  • Payroll funding and factoring fix timing — at a fee that quietly eats margin if unwatched.
Growth is the trap: every placement you add is payroll you fund today against an invoice that pays in six weeks. Our forecast shows exactly how much growth your cash can carry — and when to arrange funding before you need it.

Every Monday you'll see whether you can cover the next six payrolls, what the new contract really does to cash, and the cheapest way to bridge any gap.

Cash in — what we forecast

  • Client invoice collections, by account and timing
  • Payroll funding / factoring advances
  • Permanent placement fees — never counted before they land

Cash out — what we track

  • Temp & contract payroll — weekly, sacred
  • Payroll taxes & workers comp
  • Internal staff payroll & benefits
  • Factoring fees, tracked as their own line
  • Insurance & overhead
  • Quarterly taxes and owner draws
