FAQ about cash flow
Cash flow is a measurement of the flow of cash in and out of your business. When more cash is coming in than going out, it’s known as positive cash flow. Free cash flow is the money that remains after paying for things like payroll, rent, and taxes. Operating cash flow indicates whether a company has enough cash to maintain and grow its operations. Every business’s cash flow is affected by payment management.
Yes. Melio lets you pay by credit card (for a 2.9% fee), even when your vendor doesn’t accept credit cards. That way, you can defer payments to the end of the billing cycle.
For better cash flow management, make payments in advance. Just add and pay your bill. Schedule it to arrive on whatever future date works best for you and your cash flow. You can see when it’s estimated to arrive based on when you decide to have it deducted.
To get paid faster and increase cash flow, you can set up your customized Melio payment link. Share it directly with customers so they can initiate a payment whenever they want–without you having to send a payment request.
Melio is an accounts payable and receivable tool, meaning it only shows that aspect of your financials. However, Melio has a 2-way sync with QuickBooks Online and Xero. When syncing with your accounting software, all transactions made with Melio are automatically recorded in your books, making it easier to create an accurate cash flow statement.
