So now\, more than ever\, the ability to get ahead of the cash flow curve and maintain vendor relationships is going to be critical to your organization’s survival. Developed by Jeffrey S. Deckman\, who has started 6 companies and several not-for-profit organizations over the past 25 years\, the Fluid Cash Flow Management System was designed by him as a means to manage cash flow when times are the toughest. Invented after a visit from the dreaded IRS in the 1990’s\, Jeffrey credits this system with keeping his company solvent until he could work his way through the unfolding banking crises and a regional recession. And 10 years later it is still the backbone of his cash flow management strategy.
