Has Calculator
What it means
How fast customers pay you. DSO = Days Sales Outstanding.
Why it matters
Every day of DSO is cash you're financing for customers.
How to calculate — with Cawan's Shoes
Turnover = Revenue / Avg Receivables. DSO = 365 / Turnover. Cawan's: $500M / $40M = 12.5x → DSO 29.
What's at stake if you ignore this
High DSO = working capital drag, bad debt risk.
