FE CashCalc vs Foundry Planning

FE CashCalc is an online financial planning suite for advisers that creates lifetime cashflow plans. Its modelling includes deterministic, stochastic and gross cashflow approaches, market simulations and stress testing. Advisers can map goals and life events on a visual timeline, then produce client-friendly reports comparing current and proposed plans. More than 35 calculators cover topics including pensions, mortgages, equity release, school fees and inheritance tax. Mortgage and protection planning is built in, with 10 calculators and stress tests at no extra cost. The service is available on web, iOS and Android, and advisers and clients can use the app to access an account or Portal. An optional Nexus Assistant records client conversations and completes fact-finds with an audit trail. The individual adviser licence is listed at £80 a month, billed at £80/month + VAT, and includes one free paraplanner licence. Larger firms can request bespoke group pricing.
