In the wake of the current disruptions in global health, supply chains, financial markets, and employment, having a cash flow model that is dynamic, easily updated for changing conditions, and able to support iterative scenario analysis isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity.
While no one was planning for a crisis like the coronavirus, global health authorities have talked about something like this as a risk factor for many years. The article reviews the approaches for forecasting cash flow, presents steps for building a cash flow model, and offers insight into how to ensure the model remains simple and elegant enough to be operated by both financial and non-financial executives.

8020 Consulting Supports Soldiers’ Angels
As a company, we are moved by the sacrifices our servicemen, servicewomen and veterans have made. What would our lives be like without their courage? In the spirit of the holidays, the 8020 Consulting team came together for a fourth season to sponsor post-9/11 wounded and disabled veterans and their families through Soldiers’ Angels.
As a group, the company supported 2 families and 7 children with gifts of their choosing, including toys and clothing as well as gift certificates totaling over $500 for use in purchasing a nice holiday meal.

8020 Consulting Gets Involved with Operation Gratitude
On August 24th, 8020 Consulting came together and volunteered their time with Operation Gratitude. Every year, Operation Gratitude sends 300,000+ care packages to Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen deployed overseas. In addition to stuffing care packages for troops overseas, volunteers assembled “Survival” bracelets, stuffed Battalion Teddy bears for children of the deployed, prepared Recruit Graduate Medallion Kits and screened and wrote letters. It was a great way to bond with our colleagues in a different setting and even more importantly, it was a great way to give back to our service men and women.
