cashflows
Incoming and outgoing
Cashflows are the movements of money into and out of a business, investment, or account over a period of time.
The term tracks both incoming revenue and outgoing expenses: The company's cashflows turned positive in the third quarter.
Analyzing cashflows reveals whether an entity can meet its obligations and fund operations, distinct from paper profits that may not represent actual money on hand.
Also spelled as two words: cash flows.
