Freelancers cannot visualize cash flow timing gaps between project invoicing and payment receipt

Freelancers invoice on different payment terms (net-30, net-60) and struggle to forecast when money actually arrives versus when expenses are due, making it impossible to plan for cash shortfalls. Most budgeting apps show current balance only, and accounting software doesn't highlight payment timing gaps for planning purposes.
