Xero is great, but Float is the icing on the cake

I've been using Float for around four years now, and almost two years ago I sang the virtues of Float in an interview piece on their blog "Xero is great, but Float is the icing on the cake". My opinion hasn't changed and since then it's been steadily upgraded making it even simpler to work with.

"A must for any service based business"

What do you like best about Float Cash Flow Forecasting? Float was really easy to set up. Within a couple of hours I had an accurate three year projection. The charts are easy to read making potential problems obvious. I love its ability to 'change circumstances' and show how it affects the cash flow. the integration with my accounts means I don't have to do anything to maintain projections. I previously used a different financial product, costing thousands per year, which ultimately I ...

Business critical

Business critical, excellent software, worth its weight in gold. I've previously tried to manage cashflow in Excel via exports from Freeagent and it's just miserable: time consuming and inaccurate. The new Float is everything I could have hoped for in a cash flow planning tool and more. It prompts really pragmatic actions. For example, I can added in dates I think the invoices will be paid (even if the date on the invoice is different) and then I can send emails to the recipients saying ...

Simply phenomenal tool for cash flow projection from QBO

This is a simply phenomenal tool for cash flow projections, management, and understanding. I was using a google doc to follow cash flow issues, and it was a mess. Just keeping it updated was a huge time sink, and it didn't provide the option to try different scenarios without significant data entry. Within a few minutes of getting set up in Float App, I had more insights into our current financial situation than ever before. As a small business owner, cash flow is king. Low cash flow is an ...

Don't use for day-to-day or week-to-week forecasting

The QB integration is nice, but how Float handles actual income and expenses versus budgets is useless for day-to-day or week-to-week forecasting. For example, budgeting income can be very specific in Float, with multiple streams possible to enter by date and amount projected. However, when actual income comes in, Float spreads the allocation of that income across every income budget you have. This results in constant erroneous projections on arrival dates of projected money for the rest of ...

extremely useful app for a growing business

great app really useful to us over the last year as we've gone from 3fte to 12fte and will be continuing to use it even as we make plans to upgrade our finance system and move into our next phase of growth

Ideal app for seeing team project availability

PROS: I love that Float makes it simple to view who has availability across our large team. CONS: There are a couple of issues: One is the app loads slowly for big teams. Second is Float doesn’t integrate with Teamwork, so we have to manually enter all tasks into the app.
