How money flows in and out of your business is a key indicator of its health. This metric, known as your cashflow, tells you at a glance how your business is doing financially.


View your future income and expense projections

You have three key metrics available to review: your income, your expenses, and your balance (the difference between income and expense numbers). You can choose between viewing to-date sums or projections.

Money-in and money-out projections estimate upcoming booked payments & projected expenses. These are for reference purposes only. Real time income and expenses may significantly differ based on changes that cannot be predicted.
