Cashflow Forecast

Cashflow Forecast turns a handful of assumptions and a deal pipeline into a month-by-month cash projection you can export to Excel. It works for any business — SaaS, agencies, e-commerce, and light manufacturing — because the model is built from neutral primitives rather than one industry's vocabulary.

What you get

Forecasts — a planning header with your cost-of-sale %, COGS %, payment terms, monthly opex, a variable-revenue ramp, and a horizon.
Deals — the pipeline feeding a forecast. Each deal is either a one-time booking that lands in a month, or a recurring line that accrues every month from its start.
A review lifecycle — move a forecast from Draft to In Review to Approved, then archive it.
Excel export — one click produces a workbook with a Summary, a month-by-month Ledger, the Deals snapshot, and your Assumptions.

Build a forecast

Open Forecasts and create one. Set the cost-of-sale %, COGS %, payment terms (how many months after a sale the cash actually arrives), monthly opex, and the variable-revenue ramp.
On the forecast, add Deals. Mark each as one_time or recurring, set its amount and month, and flag whether it is commissionable.

How the projection works

Revenue recognised is when a deal or the variable ramp books revenue.
Cash received is that revenue shifted by your payment terms — so a net-60 business sees cash land two months after the sale. Revenue booked in the last months of the horizon whose cash falls outside the window is reported separately, not dropped.
Cost of sale applies to commissionable deal revenue; COGS applies to all revenue; opex is your fixed monthly cost. Net cash is what's left.
