Overview

Forecastr combines financial forecasting software with analyst support and fractional CFO services. It is designed to help startups and small businesses build investor-grade financial models, track the numbers that matter, and keep those models current over time.

The product is positioned as an out-of-the-box finance function: Forecastr helps users forecast revenue, expenses, new hires, exit scenarios, and runway; monitor performance against targets; and share live financial models with investors and stakeholders.

The forecasting and CFO tools Forecastr provides

Custom dashboard builder

Build financial models with click-and-drag dashboard components, then present the data in a format that is easier to review and share.

Pre-built template library

Start from professional-grade templates instead of building every model from scratch, which helps teams move faster and stay consistent.

Intuitive formula builder

Use spreadsheet-style formulas for more detailed financial calculations inside the modeling workflow.

Automated accounting updates

Sync accounting data from QBO or Xero so actuals can update against forecasts and reduce manual refresh work.

Cash runway tracking

Track projected revenues and expenses to monitor burn rate and cash runway over time.

Live model sharing

Create access links for investors and stakeholders, sharing a full model, a single scenario, or one section of the model.

Common ways teams use Forecastr

  • Founder financial planning

    Founders can build a financial model that covers revenue, expenses, hires, exit scenarios, and runway so they have a clearer view of business performance and funding needs.

  • Fundraising preparation

    Teams preparing to raise capital can use investor-grade models, reporting, and live model access links to present a clearer financial story to potential investors.

  • Ongoing finance support

    Businesses that need recurring support can have a dedicated analyst or fractional CFO maintain the model, update historical data, and provide monthly guidance.

  • Growth tracking and scenario planning

    Companies focused on growth can track KPIs, compare results against projections, and use scenario analysis to adjust plans as conditions change.

  • Special CFO projects

    Organizations with more complex finance needs can assign special CFO projects such as pitch deck review, pricing analysis, board materials, or accounting cleanup.

  • Includes investor-oriented outputs such as reporting and shareable live model access links.
  • Covers both day-to-day forecasting and special-project CFO work such as fundraising, pricing analysis, and board prep.

Cons
