Knowing your cash balance tells you where you stand. Knowing your cash flow ratios tells you whether you can stay there. This dashboard calculates the metrics that reveal how efficiently your business converts revenue into cash, how long you can operate without new funding, and whether your cash position is strengthening or eroding. Every ratio is calculated automatically from your live accounting data, updated every time a transaction posts, and traceable back to the source. When something looks off, you can run HeronAI's anomaly detection and outlier detection to pinpoint exactly what changed and why. Need context fast? Ask Aimee why your cash conversion cycle lengthened or how many months of runway you have left and get a data-backed answer in seconds.

Who it's for and how they'll use it

CFOs
They need to know if the business is generating cash efficiently, not just whether the bank balance looks fine today. Operating cash flow margin and free cash flow are calculated continuously, so a healthy revenue number stops hiding a cash-generation problem underneath it.

‍

Founders and executives at growth-stage companies
Runway is the number that decides how much room there is to make mistakes. Days cash on hand and the burn rate trend are always current, so a funding decision is made against the actual trajectory, not a stale spreadsheet from three weeks ago.

‍

Finance teams managing working capital
The cash conversion cycle shows how long cash is tied up between paying suppliers and collecting from customers. Tracked continuously instead of recalculated once a quarter, a lengthening cycle shows up while there's still time to act on it.

‍

Operations leaders
They're often the ones who can actually influence the ratios, inventory turns, payment terms, collection speed, without owning the finance function. Seeing the cash flow coverage ratio and conversion cycle directly connects their operational decisions to the company's cash position.

‍

Board members and lenders
They care about cash flow ratios more than raw revenue, because ratios show sustainability, not just size. A live view of free cash flow and cash flow coverage means walking into a meeting with a defensible number instead of a projection built on assumptions.
