Bring in your cash movements
Import a CSV of inflows and outflows, or type the main buckets: cash from operations, capex, debt, dividends and the change in cash.
Arrange it by chatting
Ask the AI to put inflows on the left and outflows on the right, color negative flows red, or collapse minor items into a single node.

Download a clean SVG for the monthly reporting deck or a PNG for a quick share, and save the chart to reuse next month.
Frequently asked questions
What does a cash flow sankey show?
It shows where cash came from and where it went during a period. Each ribbon is a cash movement and its width is the amount, so the biggest drains and sources stand out immediately.
How is it different from a waterfall chart?
A waterfall shows the step-by-step change in one balance. A sankey shows the paths the money took, including how one source splits across several destinations.
Can I use data from my bank or accounting tool?
Yes. Export transactions or category totals as CSV from your bank, QuickBooks or a spreadsheet, and import the file straight into the editor.
Can I show a negative month?
Yes. Model the drop in cash as one more outflow node and color it red. The AI can set that up for you if you describe the situation.
Your data is ready. Your chart is three steps away.
