Easy Cash-Flow Forecasting at Project Start

Easily forecast project cash in and out from start to finish or for upcoming months by entering the percent completed on top of the category or job package head. Alternatively, a detailed cash-flow forecast can be conducted by forecasting each budget item individually.

The familiar revised budget column helps us track how much we plan to spend on each budget item, and the Remaining column keeps track of the funds that remain to be allocated over the upcoming months. Download the cash flow forecast spreadsheet from the top right of the dashboard.

Once everything is set, complete the process and hit the “Finish Cash Flow Forecasting” button.

"Planyard's integration with Xero has streamlined our project financials, providing clear insights and saving us valuable time. It's easy to use and keeps all commitments organized for seamless financial tracking."

Sharon Brown Financial Controller · Empower Renewables · Dublin, Ireland

"Planyard is basically a live CVR and saves time by making Excel unnecessary. Once a project’s set up, I can rely on Planyard to stay organized without spreadsheets."

Claire Hill Quantity Surveyor · Brown & Bancroft Interiors · Bolton, United Kingdom

"Planyard is exactly what I’m after as a business owner: a good-value system that keeps everything in one place, saves me money and makes sure I’m not losing any money on projects. As a businessman, that’s a no-brainer."

Lee Covington Owner · E&N Group Ltd · London, United Kingdom

"I’m confident that we can manage multiple projects effectively. We’re currently running three fairly large ones, and the system makes it very clear and easy to manage all of them at once."

Graham Eastwood Office Manager · Karringtons Ltd · Kent, United Kingdom

"I chose Planyard because it stood out as the most straightforward and intuitive option on the market. I really wanted a tool that would simplify our existing processes and make everything more efficient, rather than switching to a system that was far too complicated for us to use on a daily basis."

Grant Collins Quantity Surveyor · Skyler Contracting · Kent, United Kingdom

"Planyard has completely replaced my CVR process. Cost Value Reconciliation is essentially about tracking your budget against your actual spend to see exactly what remains, and that functionality is the absolute essence of the central core of Planyard."

Ian Holford Managing Director · Higgihaus Developments · Bristol, United Kingdom

"For me Planyard is essentially the go to software for SMBs. There are other software packages out there that are a large investment upfront with a significant monthly cost. These are all potential solutions once you get to a very large business but they are not a solution for SMBs."

Paul Howarth Experienced FD/Consultant · Live Management Accounts

"Timewise, on a single project, I'd probably save 6 to 8 hours—essentially a full day every month. When it comes to processing monthly payments, it saves me a solid day, perhaps even a day and a half, just in sorting through the invoices. Saving a day and a half of my time means the system pays for itself time and time again."
