How it works
From your accounting to a runway date
Four steps, each powered by a feature — follow the links for the detail.
Integrations & data import
Connect your accounting — DATEV, lexoffice or sevdesk. The bookings flow in on their own, and whatever has no connection comes in via CSV import with a saved mapping.

Your data arrives already categorized
Accounting data is already prepared: every booking flows in assigned to its account and simply shows up as history in the forecast table — each booked month, account by account, nothing to sort or tag.

The thinking behind it, explained
Cash-based or model-based planning: the difference that decides how good your forecast is
Every forecasting tool is one of two kinds: it reads what already happened to your bank account, or it calculates what will happen from the drivers of your business. Here is what separates them, why it decides how useful your forecast is, and how to build the second kind.
Cash-flow forecast for your Shopify store
The four numbers that decide whether a Shopify store builds cash or bleeds it, where to read each one, and the five steps that turn them into a 12-month forecast you can keep current in twenty minutes a month.
Cash-flow planning in Excel: the guide and a free template
A free Excel and Google Sheets template with the formulas already wired up, and the step-by-step guide to what every row is doing — so you can use it as it is, or build your own from the same logic.

FAQ
Cash planning, answered
Why accounting instead of a bank feed?
Because bookings arrive already assigned to an account. Nothing needs categorizing, and the plan uses the same structure as your year-end accounts.
What are daily accruals?
A monthly invoice is spread across its days instead of landing on one — so every amount sits on the day it economically belongs to.
How is runway calculated?
From the day-by-day cash forecast including contracts, payroll and planned spend — not from a monthly average.
Can I override values myself?
Yes. You can edit any value directly in the forecast table and watch the curve respond.
How often does the plan update?
On every sync of your accounting system — typically daily.
