In school the rule of thumb for capitalizing titles was first word, last word and all important words (and almost all words were important excluding only articles prepositions and conjunctions). If we follow that rule the question is cashflow one word or two? If it is one word it gets one capital and no space, if two words it gets two capitals and a space. So either 'Cashflow' or 'Cash Flow'. Interestingly my spell checker objects to 'Cashfolw' and suggests 'Cash Flow' as a correction but has no problem with 'cashflow' or 'cash flow'.
