What is a Cash Flow 
Statement?
A cash flow statement is a fundamental 
financial document that helps you track 
your company’s cash inflows and 
outflows over time. It can be very 
helpful in determining whether your 
business is profitable, and it can also 
help you make decisions about where 
to allocate your money.
How to Create a Cash Flow Statement 
in QuickBooks Online?
In QuickBooks, you can 
create a QuickBooks Online cash 
flow statement to see how your 
business is spending its money. This 
document can help you track your 
expenses and determine whether you’re 
able to meet your financial goals.
• Open the QuickBooks Online Accountant menu (the three 
lines in the top left corner of the main screen), and then 
click Cash Flow > Statement.
• On the Cash Flow Statement page, enter your company’s 
name and account number.
• Click Next to move on to the Expenses section of the 
report.
• In the Expenses section, drag items from the list on the 
left side of the window to the list on the right side of the 
window to make a list of your expenditures for that 
month. The “Amount” field shows how much money 
you’re spending on each expense, and “Category” shows 
what kind of expense it is (for example, Office Supplies 
or Rent).
• To add an expense category, click in the “Category” field and then type a 
name for this category (for example, Administration costs). If you want to 
add more than one category for an expense, press Ctrl+C (Windows) or 
Command+C (Mac) to copy the text in that field and then paste it into 
another field (for example, Rent and Staff salaries). When you’re done 
adding categories, click OK in the Expenses section toolbar to save your 
changes.
• To change an expense’s amount or category, click the appropriate field 
and then type the new value in the text box.
• To add notes about an expense, click in the “Notes” field and then type 
your notes.
• When you’re done adding expenses, click Next to move on to the Income 
section of the report.
• To print this report, click Print Report at the bottom of the page.
