See where the month lands while there is time

Forecast adds up what is already in the system: subscriptions, planned work, won deals and revenue entries. The expected costs are taken off, and the result is held against the budget, so you see a deviation while there is still time to do something about it.

  • Four figures for the running month: revenue, costs, result and deviation from budget.
  • The chart shows budget against forecast month by month, with the actual figures as a line.
  • Customers with planned work and no price are counted, so nobody takes the figure for complete.
Where the month's revenue comes from

  2. Won deals

  3. Revenue entries

Costs that keep up on their own

The budget is set per account and month. Wages can come from the salary calculation and purchases from supplier invoices, so the biggest items keep up as the month goes on. When something happens the system cannot see, you type a correction on the month, and it is recalculated at once.

  • A running month uses the larger of the budget and what has come in so far.
  • An amount typed on the month always wins over the automatic one.
  • The budget can be copied from January across the year, or from the year before.

Close the month on the real figures

When a month is over, it is closed on its own in the night and the forecast is frozen. The trial balance from your accounting software is imported, the accounts are paired by number, and the actual figures stand beside the forecast. A comment on the month explains what moved the result.

  • The trial balance is read as xlsx, xls or csv, and you point at the columns yourself.
  • A closed month can be reopened if something needs correcting.
  • The period can be exported as a PDF for the board or the bank.

And the rest of the forecast

What does not fill a section, but makes the figures ones to trust.

  • A plan for the year ahead

    Pick a year to come and see what the budget adds up to, beside what the system's own figures say each month will land on.

  • The customers behind the figure

    Open a month and see which customers, subscriptions and won deals the expected revenue is worked out from.

  • Cancellations in an allowance

    Set how many cancellations a month may lose, and what each costs in profit. It is for planning and does not change the result.

  • A PDF for the board

    Export the period with its chart and month by month as a PDF, ready for a board meeting or a meeting at the bank.

  • Six or twelve months

    See half a year or a whole one at a time, go back, or jump straight to a given month.

  • Only for those who should see it

    Seeing the forecast and changing the budget and accounts are separate permissions, and the pages need two-factor login.

Questions we usually get

What gets asked before the first demo.

Do we have to change accounting software?

No. The forecast is built on what is in the system, and the actual figures come from a trial balance you export from your accounting software as xlsx, xls or csv.

Where does the expected revenue come from?

From subscriptions and planned work, won deals and revenue entries. A customer who has cancelled, and whose cleaning has ended, is taken out even while the agreement is still there. Planned work with no price is not counted, and the page says how many customers it applies to.

What if we know something the system does not?

Then you type a correction on the month: extra revenue or an extra cost, with an amount and a description. The month is recalculated at once.

What does it take to get started?

A chart of the accounts you want to follow, and a budget per month. The budget can be copied from January across the year or from the year before, so you do not have to type it all in.

Shall we put in your first budget together?

Create an environment with your own brand, or call and get the forecast shown in half an hour. Bring your chart of accounts, and we will start from that.
