Awesome Forecast vs Cashflow CaFE

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.

Cashflow CaFE is a forecasting and management application for small businesses. It uses accounting data to calculate available cash and support budgeting, including scenario planning. The service synchronizes with accounting software to produce cash projections; its listed integrations are Xero, FreeAgent, and QuickBooks. CaFE monitors cash positions and can notify users about impending shortfalls, surpluses, and invoices or payments that need attention. It produces reports for business owners, accountants, and financial advisers. Accountants and bookkeepers can be invited to monitor a business’s cashflow, and an adviser dashboard highlights clients who may need help. The service is available on the web, Android, and iOS. On a phone, users can also access it through a mobile browser without installing a separate app. CaFE is paid, from £12/mo, and offers a 30-day free trial; there is no free plan. It is developed and owned by Skwile Limited, registered in England and Wales.
