How does the forecast work? What data is included?

The Cash Flow Planner chart uses historical data from your bank accounts connected to QuickBooks Online to forecast future recurring income and expenses.  The cash flow forecasting software imports data and syncs automatically for up-to-the-minute cash flow analysis, without multiple spreadsheets. This includes categorised and uncategorised transactions. You can also manually include data to forecast cash flow by adding events that may occur in the future.

The Cash Flow Planner chart does not include:

  • Credit card transactions
  • Transactions you’ve entered manually into QuickBooks
  • Multi-currency enabled files

How do I add events for possible money in or money out?

You can manually add events for potential income and expenses. For example, if you have a big sale coming up, add it as an event so it’s part of the forecast.

Important: Events aren’t actual transactions and won’t affect your finances in QuickBooks.

  1. Select the Add Event button.
  2. Select Money in if the event is income, or Money out if it’s an expense.
  3. Give the event a name and enter an amount, then select Continue.
  4. Select the date when the event will occur.
  5. When you’re done, select Save.

To edit or delete an event:

  1. Select and open an event.
  2. Select the Date, Name, or Amount field, or change whether it’s Money in or Money out.
  3. When you’re done, press Save.

It really is as simple as that. Quickbooks Cash Flow Planner can provide you with a cash flow chart, advanced cash flow analysis for your business, an overview of your discounted cash flow and cash flow templates to keep you and your business on the right track. Try our cash flow software for free with our 30-day trial and see for yourself.
