What is cash flow management?

For many professionals in mining and resources, high incomes are often accompanied with an overspend on discretionary expenses and limited savings, despite best intentions. Spending less than you earn sounds simple, yet it can be difficult without knowing how much and exactly what you’re spending money on. If you’re finding little left over at the end of each month and you want to make the most of your income while you have it, read on to learn more about our cash flow management solution.

The old way

Determining what your after-tax income is and tracking your savings over the past 12 months should give you a rough indication of what your expenses are each year. However, without running through the manual, time-consuming process of downloading bank account data and working through each transaction, this method doesn’t provide enough insight into your spending to incite a change in spending habits.

The new way

We have partnered with software provider myprosperity; a cash flow and budgeting app is available on iPhone and Android. This software draws feeds of cash flow information through a link to your bank accounts, automatically categorising your transactions into different spending categories (eg groceries, transport, dining out and holidays). The best part of the software is that on initiation, it draws in the past three months of transaction information, allowing you to quickly get a picture of what you’ve spent money on.

Once you have a picture of your past spending, it’s time to consider what you do with that information. It might be that you’re looking to make further savings and you now realise you can easily reduce spending in certain areas of your lifestyle.

After you have control of your spending, we can help you set realistic savings goals which can be linked to relevant accounts in the myprosperity app. These might include debt reduction, building wealth to achieve financial independence, regular investments into shares or superannuation, or other saving structures.

Our clients have told us that the use of our cash flow management program empowers them to take control of their finances and make the most of what they have.
