Overview

Xero is your source of truth for what happened. Float is where you manage what happens next.

Float connects to Xero in minutes, pulling your invoices, bills, and bank transactions into a live forecast updated daily or on demand. When you reconcile in Xero, your forecast updates with actuals. No spreadsheet to rebuild.

Forecast up to 36 months ahead. See your projected bank balance day by day, week by week, or month by month. Know what's coming before month-end forces the conversation.

Multi-entity consolidation. Select the entities you want and see the consolidated cash position immediately, with the ability to drill into any individual entity for the detail.

AR & AP in one view. Every unpaid invoice and bill from Xero, mapped to the date you actually expect payment. Split invoices, update payment dates, and see the impact on your balance before you commit.

Scenario planning without touching your base forecast. Add a new hire, a late payment, or a slower collections period as a separate scenario. Compare it against your base and see the cash impact before you commit.

Budget Vs. actuals tracking. See where cash moved against what you predicted, by category, in real time. Stay on top of variances as they happen, not at month-end.

Collaboration built into the forecast. Add comments directly on budget lines, tag the right colleague, and keep every conversation attached to the data it relates to. No context lost in Slack or email.

Float Cashflow Forecasting + Xero

Connect Float to Xero and your accounting data becomes the foundation of a forecast that never goes stale. The connection is read-only. Float can see your Xero data but it will never change it.

Float imports your transactions, invoices, and bills every 24 hours. Auto budgets pre-fill your forecast from your Xero history, or set your own targets by category. As actuals come through, Float tracks how your predictions held up.

Build scenarios for your most significant decisions. A slow collections period, a new hire, a funding delay. Model each one alongside your base forecast, compare them side by side, and merge the scenario into your base forecast when the decision is confirmed.

Set expected payment dates manually on individual invoices, or let Smart Expected Dates apply each customer's actual payment behaviour automatically. Late payments become a variable you plan for, not a surprise you absorb.

"What previously took hours to maintain is now available at a glance, helping us make faster and better-informed financial decisions." Stefan Wallington, CFO, Networkology

A forecast your finance team can trust and act on, up to 36 months out.

Great app - needs more history

Great app, makes it very easy to manage - my only gripe is that history is wiped on a rolling 6 month basis. That's frustrating because if I am in April this year, I want to understand my cash position in April last year, which involves going back to Xero ... sort of defeating the purpose for retrospective But otherwise great app

Response from Float Cashflow Forecasting

Hi Alex, Thanks so much for leaving your feedback. The good news is that we recently made some changes, so over time most users will be able to see a full 12 months of history in Float. While we're not quite there yet for Project users, this is definitely on our radar to roll out for everyone 😁

Well worth upgrading from spreadsheets

I was trying to use manual spreadsheets to manage future cash flow forecasting and it was a pain every month, needing to fix formulas, etc. Float is great, does 3/4 what I was doing manually in an automated way. The only thing I wish was better was labour hour forecasting - it assumes full time/historical wage data, and if your starting out you dont have this yet.

Response from Float Cashflow Forecasting

Thanks Courtney. It's great to hear that Float is saving you time. 😁

Best cashflow app I've ever used

I am a founder of a small consulting business (6 FTE). I like Xero forecasts and Fathom strategic forecasts but Float is the finance app that really keeps the business running when it comes to day to day cashflow. My only issue with Float is its pricing model - I don't know why I should pay more as the business grows if the app does the exact same thing. But for now, the benefits of Float outweigh its pricing model.

Response from Float Cashflow Forecasting

Thanks for the kind words Nigel! We’re glad Float helps your cashflow, and we appreciate your feedback on pricing as it helps us keep improving 😁
