What are some different ways to estimate cash flow?

cash flow
dasielady asked:


I work in the accounting department at a large law firm. I have some ideas on how to estimate cash flow in the coming year, but would like more suggestions. One way I am already doing is an excel spreadsheet that will examine the aging on recievables from last year, and the amount uncollected. Then take those percentages of beginning A/R (ie: what % of Januarys recievables were collected in Jan, then Feb, then Mar, then written off) and apply them to projected billables for the coming year. Does anyone have any other good suggestions?
