The big idea
AI can write spreadsheet formulas and structure for cash flow, but you have to enter your real numbers and double-check the math.
Some examples
- Prompt: 'Build me a Google Sheets template for a teen baking business: income, costs, and profit per week.'
- Ask AI to add formulas that flag when costs are over 60% of revenue.
- Have AI explain each formula in plain English.
Try it!
Have AI build the sheet. Drop in 3 fake sales. Confirm the profit number matches what you'd calculate by hand.
