Awesome Forecast vs Cash Flow Frog

Awesome Forecast is Windows software that builds cash-flow forecasts in Microsoft Excel, with linked profit-and-loss and balance-sheet forecasts. Its double-entry bookkeeping model is designed to keep forecasts balanced. Forecasts can cover up to five years, or 60 months, and include daily cash-flow views and 13-week cash-flow forecasts. Users can adjust the chart of accounts, account codes, and reporting structure. Analysis tools include scenario analysis, budgets, year-to-date actuals, daily cash-flow drilldown, and rolling year-end estimates. Tutorials explain importing data, exporting forecasts, and linking to another data file. Microsoft Office must be installed, and the software supports 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems but does not run on an iMac. A free 14-day trial is available without bank details. Annual plans include a 250.00 GBP single-user license, 250.00 GBP unlimited email and telephone support, 675.00 GBP Full – Unlimited, and 900.00 GBP Full Set Up Service. Support is available from a qualified Chartered Accountant by email, telephone, and video call.

Reporting includes cash flow statements, planned-versus-actual comparisons, and consolidation across multiple entities. Listed integrations include QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Xero, Sage Intacct, Odoo, Zoho Books, FreshBooks, Plaid, Excel import, and Zapier.

The Trust Center states that the service is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and supports two-factor authentication. The maker says it is for small and mid-sized businesses and the accountants and bookkeepers who advise them. The product is web-based, has no free plan, and starts at $55.00 per month.
