Cash Flow Statement

The Cash Flow Statement is a financial statement that summarizes the cash inflows and outflows of a business during a specific period, providing insights into how a company generates and spends cash.  

It is standard for customers with the Plus and Premium subscriptions, with Sage Intacct (still in beta) & QuickBooks integrations only. These reports will be made available for other integrations in the future. 

• Balance sheet accounts (asset, liability, and equity) will match the active/inactive status set in the accounting system. (These are inactive accounts in all other Martus subscriptions.)
• The report will include all active and inactive accounts with balances. Inactive accounts are tagged with “[I]” for easy identification.

• A Balancing Dimension (typically the entity) is identified for Sage Intacct customers; this allows the Balance Sheet and Cash Flow to be displayed per entity and in summary.  

• The report is organized into sections for Operating, Investing, and Financing Activity. Within each section, balance sheet accounts are summarized by Cash Flow Category. Balances for accounts that are not assigned to a cash flow category will show under the category [Blank].
• Admin users and non-admin users with the Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement permission can access the report in Dashboard > Financials. NOTE: Non-admin user restrictions DO NOT apply to the Cash Flow Statement. They will see all dimensions and all accounts. 
  
  

How to Get Started

For existing customers, follow these steps to start using these reports.

• Run an account sync to be sure that all balance sheet accounts have been synced into Martus.
• Update the status on all of those accounts that you want to be Active in Martus.
• Assign balance sheet categories and cash flow categories to all balance sheet accounts.
• Run a monthly sync for the last year, or more, to pull balance sheet activity into Martus.

Assigning Accounts to Cash Flow Categories

Set accounts to the appropriate Cash Flow Category in Setup > Accounts.
