First Steps
Get set up and see your first forecast.
Welcome to Foreqast
Foreqast turns your accounting data into a rolling cashflow and profit forecast — no finance team required. Here's the lay of the land.
Connect your data
Import from your accountant or sync a bank account so every forecast builds on real, booked numbers.
Your first forecast
What happens after you connect data, and where to look first.
How to use Foreqast
Read the forecast, choose models, and test decisions.
Reading the forecast table
Every cell stacks the forecast on top of the booked actual. Here's how to read the table like a pro.
Cash view vs profit view
One forecast, two questions: when the money moves, and when it was earned. The toggle above the table switches between them.
Assets & unit economics
Two blocks under the P&L: what you own (cash, stock, working capital) and whether the business works (margin, CAC, net margin per unit).
Forecasting models
Historical, driver-based, or contract-based — choose how each category is projected forward.
Building scenarios
Test a decision against your live forecast with the simulator, and save it as a scenario.
App
The product, area by area.
Core App
The forecast table, categories, and everything that ships by default.

The heart of the app: one living grid that turns your booked accounting data into a rolling cashflow and P&L forecast.
Categories
The canonical set of lines every transaction is mapped into — and how each one is forecast.
Dashboard
Runway, cash on hand, and the trend that matters — your financial overview, up top.
