As a company founder, cash is always tight, especially while bootstrapping a start-up, and more especially when it starts scaling. Tactical cashflow management is critical, and spreadsheets don't cut it. In budg.ee I find the live data integration with Xero presents realistic forecasts - automatically - which with tools to refine - present actual cash situation. That gives me a very clear view of Days to Zero Cash - as uncomfortable as it is to see. The scenario building tools are then perfect for tactical decisions through the Zero point - confirming what I can pay and when. If you play in the space between 0 and 1, then Budg.ee will change your life - hopefully your business. It has for me. Thank you Richard for actually building this solution, you're a legend.

CW: This review contains bird puns. As an accountant and fractional CFO, I've flitted from one cash flow forecasting apps to another to generate cash flow reports for clients. Unfortunately a lot of them don't give the granularity of preening numbers precisely the way you want them to be. Hence, despite all the colourful feathered displays of the cloud, I still ended up flying back to good ol' spreadsheets! Then I found Budgee. Budgee is best described as the golden hatchling of your cloud based forecasting apps and the venerable spreadsheet. It offers a User Friendly interface, allowing you to glide from one category to another. Inputting figures is as simple as clicking (pecking?) in the desired cell, and making changes directly to that cell. Scenarios can be set up on the fly and turned on and off at will. Invoices and bills can simply be grabbed and moved (flapped?) around to tweak your forecast for the coming months/weeks/days. Best of all, forecasting visuals are presented cleanly based on the information that you've put together. The whoops of delight I hear from my clients as I turn on and off scenarios (thus changing the graph trajectories) send my heart soaring. As a newcomer, Budgee is bound to ruffle some feathers in the industry with its innovativeness. So look after your nest egg and start using Budgee now!!!
