Forecastr is Financial Forecasting Perfected, Beautiful Dashboards, Expert CFO Services **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris K. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2024 **What do you like best about Forecastr?** What I love most about Forecastr besides the people I've been working with at the company is how simple it is to view everything. It's not so complex that I don't even know what I'm looking at, yet it's not so simple that it doesn't give me what I need. It's just right - perfect. **What do you dislike about Forecastr?** I don't currently have any complaints or anything I dislike about Forecastr. **What problems is Forecastr solving and how is that benefiting you?** Forecastr is helping me with planning out finances into the future based on revenue sources, churn, etc... It's also helping with budgeting and overall financial clarity in the business. ### 2. Basic forecasting tool for startups **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ryan M. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 19, 2023 **What do you like best about Forecastr?** Easy to use interface for the people that are not financially savy. It allows you to forecast your financial statements, including your cash flow based on some key assumptions. You can immediately evaluate how the changes in each assumption would impact your financial situation in the future. **What do you dislike about Forecastr?** Limited usage. Once you start having someone with financial background in your company this becomes obsolete, since the analyst or CFO will be using Excel for doing the financial modeling. **What problems is Forecastr solving and how is that benefiting you?** It allowed our CEO to run multiple simulations to see the cash flow forecasting based on his key assumptions. It provides useful graphs for decisions making as well as good tips in how to create and polish your pro-forma financial statements. ### 3. A MUST-HAVE for Founders & Entrepreneurs **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tim S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 23, 2023 **What do you like best about Forecastr?** If a business is a spreadsheet with legs on it, Forecastr allows us to run faster and further. Knowing our inputs and assumptions gives us the confidence to build the business, raise money, and tell our story. **What do you dislike about Forecastr?** Hard to answer. 1) Would love an integration with QuickBrooks self employed. 2) We're still getting a feel for how we fit in the new pricing packages, but we're happy to be along for the ride in figuring it out with Forecastr. **What problems is Forecastr solving and how is that benefiting you?** For founders who are raising capital, they are not telling the whole story without revenue forecast. Investors want to know the assumptions & inputs. Forecastr is the tool to do that. ### 4. Great software for basic startup financial modeling **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Fernando M. | Head of Program Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2023 **What do you like best about Forecastr?** It is straightforward to use and understand how each variable affects your financial model, especially for founders who do not understand finance and accounting deeply. **What do you dislike about Forecastr?** You can reach a plateau if you are looking to add more variables into your models. You cannot control all the elements of your model like in Excel (however, you would need a better understanding of finance, accounting, and Excel to do a model that is even close to what Forecastr is offering you). **What problems is Forecastr solving and how is that benefiting you?** They provide a basic structure for your financial model. They also provide you with experts (analysts and fractional CFOs) if you need extra help to polish your initial model. Forecastr offers other resources to forecast your new hires and do investor reporting. ### 5.

Very happy with the software and service. **What problems is Forecastr solving and how is that benefiting you?** Financial modeling and forecasing. ### 6.
