Set your reserve
The amount the company should never go below. It decides what is safe to spend and when Profflow warns you.
The reserve is asked for during setup and can be changed in Settings at any time. Enter 0 if the company keeps none.
A common starting point is a month of fixed costs — salaries with their taxes, rent and the running bills — but the right figure is the owner’s decision, not Profflow’s.
- Safe to spend is the lowest day ahead less the reserve.
- The cash chart draws the reserve as a line, so the days close to it are visible.
- A day under the reserve within thirty days becomes a critical item in What to do.
