Planning & forecasting
Understand your cash runway, P&L projections, and financial health.
Runway & cash
The Dashboard shows your current runway — how many months of runway you have at your current burn rate (monthly costs minus revenue). This updates automatically as you add invoices and costs.
- Green — ≥12 months
- Yellow — 3–12 months
- Red — <3 months
Runway is calculated from your operating costs (salaries, software, rent) vs income (invoices marked paid). One-off costs and revenue spikes shift this significantly.
P&L projection
Go to Planning to see your monthly P&L projection for the next 12 months:
- Revenue — based on recurring invoices (subscriptions, auto-invoicing) and open invoices marked as due.
- Costs — recurring monthly costs + one-off costs scheduled.
- Net profit/loss — the bottom line.
Adjust assumptions (e.g., "expect 20% growth next quarter") and the projection updates live.
Sensitivity & scenarios
Under Planning → Scenarios, test "what-if" changes:
- What if we lose a customer?
- What if we hire someone (cost) vs outsource (higher unit cost)?
- What if we grow 10% month-on-month?
Each scenario shows a new runway projection without changing your actual books.
Currency & multi-entity
Multi-currency: Projections use your company's base currency (set in Hard facts). FX gains/losses are shown separately.
Multi-entity (accountants): The practice-wide consolidation view rolls up runway and P&L across all clients, so you see portfolio health at a glance.
Tips
- Update costs monthly so projections stay accurate.
- Check runway quarterly — don't wait until you're in the red.
- Use scenarios to stress-test major decisions (hiring, pricing, expansion).
- Share projections with investors/lenders for funding discussions.
