Cash flow is the movement of money in and out of your business over time. It answers a question profit can't: do you actually have money in the account right now?
Money coming in — mainly customer payments, plus any other receipts. Note this is collections, not invoices issued.
Money going out — supplier payments, expenses, salaries, rent and tax paid.
Net movement is cash in minus cash out for the period. Add it to your opening balance to get your closing balance — the cash you actually hold.
You can be profitable and still short of cash — for example when customers pay late or you've bought stock. That's why tracking cash separately from profit matters.
WasliPay tracks payments received and made, expenses, and cash & bank balances, and shows a cash flow view so you can see collections, outflows and your position at a glance.
