I understand what you are saying. A Gantt Chart with a bar chart depicting
monthly/weekly costs would be a great way to show to a potential client
worried about cash flow how these costs align with the schedule. Anyone know
how to do this?

What about a split view with the Gantt Chart at the top and a modified Resource
Usage view at the bottom showing cumulative costs?

Instructions for getting the Resource Usage view to show cost S-Curve: http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/epm/archive/2009/06/11/project-pro-leveraging-the-resource-graph.aspx

That's got a couple of screen shots that might provide ideas.

Belay that last postof mine. Works in concept for specific tasks, but on
testing, it does not roll up to the summary tasks.
