cashflow
Funds coming, going
Cashflow is the movement of money into and out of a business, account, or household over time.
Positive cashflow means more coming in than going out; negative cashflow means the reverse.
A business can be profitable on paper but fail due to poor cashflow—bills come due before payments arrive.
We're waiting on invoices to clear up our cashflow problems.
