She describes three common causes: the delay between earning money and receiving it, uneven or ‘lumpy’ expenses that land close together and small recurring costs that add up over time. Julianna highlights the difference between a profitable month and a cash positive month, stressing that profit is about totals while cash flow is about timing.
