The cash flow forecast starts from your accounting history, so most of it is filled in before you begin. It shows how much money will come in and go out over the coming weeks and months, where the tight periods are, and how the forecast held up against what actually happened.
Features
Direct cash flow forecast
Forecast receipts and payments month by month, as far ahead as you need, with past months visible alongside. The opening cash balance comes straight from your connected accounting, and the forecast shows the expected closing balance for every month.
Structure it by company, cost centre, activity, project, cash flow category or counter-account, keep several scenarios, group small items into Other with a materiality threshold, and export the result to Excel. Comments on variances stay in the forecast, next to the numbers they explain.
Linked to payables and receivables
The forecast works with the receivables and payables already in your books as well as planned items. For companies with production cycles or long payment terms, that means seeing a tight month weeks in advance rather than after the close.
Available cash, debt load and cash runway
Cash flow reports and dashboards track your available cash, the load of your loans and your cash runway, so you know how long the money lasts at the current pace.
Search across forecast items
With dozens or hundreds of planned payments, type part of a name, supplier, note or category and Symfio filters the matching rows immediately. Any line opens the individual payments behind it in the journal.
Rules that prefill items automatically
Most of a new forecast is prefilled from your accounting history, and counterparties are suggested from past data. If you have a rule of your own for how certain items should be filled in, we can set it up so they fill in automatically.
In practice
Every Hey:Filip client now has a cash flow forecast and plan evaluation, plus an overview of receivables, payables and unmatched payments. Nobody has to ask the accounting firm what they owe or when a payment is due.
