      Revenue vs. Cash Report (PCC)

      Compare revenue from last month, to the cash received this month.

      About this report

      • The Revenue vs. Cash Report shows you how much cash you received, compared with how much revenue you posted in the prior month.
      • It appears on the Dashboard page.  It is available for companies who use PointClickCare.com (PCC).

      How we calculate the Revenue vs. Cash numbers

      • Revenue:
        • the Revenue column displays the revenue for the previous Service Month only, for all Posting Dates.
      • Cash:
        • the Cash columns show the cash with Posting Dates in the month shown only, for all Service Dates
      • Percent
        • this equals the Cash received this month, divided by the Revenue posted in the previous month.

       

      The Difference between the "Revenue vs. Cash" report and the "Percent Collected" report

      • The Revenue vs. Cash report  tells you "velocity", or how quickly you get paid.  For example,
        • This report is useful to understand cash flow speed.  It can help a Controller somewhat predict next month's cash flow, and know if there will be enough short-term cash for expenses, such as payroll.
        • Here some examples:
          • If you posted $100 in revenue last month, and you receive $100 in cash this month, your percent collected month-over-month is 100%.  It means you cash is coming in quickly and on-time.
          • If you posted $100 in revenue last month, and you receive $80 in cash this month, your percent collected month-over-month is 80%.  It means your cash is coming in slowly.  Assuming you'll be able to collect the remaining $20, you'll have a "catch-up" month in the future.
          • If you posted $100 in revenue last month, and you receive $120 in cash this month, your percent collected month-over-month is 120%.  It means you're receiving cash for prior month's of service, and that this month is a "catch-up" month.
        • This report does not tell you the "completion" rate.  Meaning, did you receive the full $100 cash for the $100 you billed in a particular month of service?  To know "completion" rate, use the Percent Collected report.  (Even though the Revenue vs. Cash report has a percent collected, that's just a comparison of this month's cash vs. last month's revenue.  The percentage does not tell you what happened in the past or the future.)

      • The Percent Collected report tells you the "completion" rate, or how completely to get paid. 
        • Meaning, it tells you if you received the full $100 cash for the $100 you billed in a particular month of service. 
        • It does not tell you how long (the speed) it took to get that cash, since both the cash and revenue are tied to the Service Dates (DOS), not to the posting dates. 
        • This report will help 
          • a CFO know what percent of his revenue can be expected to be converted to cash, even if he cannot predict when that will happen.
          • AR Managers and Collectors measure their performance.
