CashAnalytics vs Float

CashAnalytics is web-based cash forecasting and liquidity planning software for finance teams at large organizations. It supports centrally configured cash flow models, multi-currency rolling forecasts, multiple versions, and short-, medium-, and long-term forecasting. A centralized workflow lets organizations set a model, notify subsidiary users, collect their submissions, consolidate results, and track submissions and versions. Data collection can be automated, with forecasts generated from bank and ERP data. SmartLedger uses historical and current ledger information together with bank data to produce short-term forecasts. The Bank Module consolidates balances and transactions, imports electronic statements such as MT940 and BAI2, and can connect to SAP and Oracle for ledger cash positions. Dashboards, customized reports, and actual-versus-forecast analysis help users examine trends, variances, accuracy, and line-item or entity detail. Published materials also describe modules for foreign exchange risk, intercompany loans, external debt, guarantees, counterparty limits, and business intelligence. The product is paid, with pricing on request. CashAnalytics joined GTreasury, where its core capabilities continue in GTreasury Cash Forecasting.

Float turns data from connected accounting software into rolling cash flow forecasts for finance teams. It offers weekly and 13-week views, plus monthly forecasts that extend up to three years on Growth and Scale.

Teams can comment on budget lines, invoices, bills and payments, tag colleagues and receive mention notifications. Admin, Editor and Viewer roles govern access. Float lists encryption in transit and at rest, multi-factor authentication, role-based access and independent auditing to the UK government-backed Cyber Essentials standard. The web service has no free plan; pricing starts at $105/mo (annual), with a 14-day trial. Essentials forecasts up to 12 months; Growth and Scale cover 36 months.
