Cash Flow Statement

Accounting & Bookkeeping Glossary

Definition

A cash flow statement shows where your cash came from and where it went during a specific period. It's divided into three categories: operating activities (running the business), investing activities (buying/selling assets), and financing activities (loans, owner draws). It tells a different story than your P&L — and both matter.
