Float vs TreasuryMetrics Cash Management

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. Users can adjust income and costs, model scenarios and estimate new-hire costs before committing. Float shows invoices and bills with expected payment dates based on when clients actually pay. Its current accounting integrations are Xero and QuickBooks Online; a direct Sage Intacct connection is described as coming soon. Float does not connect directly to banks: bank transaction data comes through the connected accounting platform. Data syncs every 24 hours, with manual sync also available. 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.

TreasuryMetrics Cash Management is a web module for medium-sized and large companies that need current views of expected and actual cash flows. It automates cash-flow forecasting and can import electronic bank statements to keep cash positions updated. Users may also import expected cash flows when refining forecasts. Automatic cash pooling is intended to make trapped cash available and keep liquidity in use. The module belongs to a broader SaaS platform that integrates with ERP, ESG, and accounting systems. Other TreasuryMetrics modules address currency, interest-rate, and credit risks, portfolio management, automated reporting, hedge-accounting support, and in-house banking. In-house Bank supports internal accounts, netting, pooling, centralized FX risks, and internal transfers of external loans. The listed TM7, TM7 PRO, and TM7 IHB plans all include user management and audit trails. Pricing is on request. The company describes bank connectivity, funding tracking, and support from software developers and treasury experts.
