Finoya’s Forecasting feature is a simple and effective scenario planning tool designed for small business owners. Instead of dealing with complex three-way financial models, you can easily estimate the impact of big expenses, new hires, or expected revenue changes.

How It Works

Create a New Scenario – Add a scenario and give it a meaningful name (e.g., "Hiring a New Sales Manager").

Enter Key Assumptions – Choose from:

  • Income (e.g., sales revenue, service income, rental income)

  • Expenses (e.g., marketing, rent, software subscriptions)

  • Payroll (e.g., new employee salary, exit employee)

  • Set Frequency & Amount – Define whether it’s a monthly, quarterly, or one-time impact and input the expected amount.

  • Run the Forecast – Click Forecast Now to see how your scenario affects your cash flow health over the next 30, 60, and 90 days.


Why Use Finoya’s Forecasting Tool?

  • Simplicity – No spreadsheets, no complicated formulas—just enter key details and get instant insights.

  • Decision-Making Power – See if you can afford a new hire, manage upcoming big expenses, or anticipate revenue shifts.

  • Saved Scenarios – Every scenario is saved so you can revisit and compare later to track actual vs. forecasted results.


Pro Tips for Better Forecasting

  • Regularly update your forecasts based on real business trends.

  • Compare multiple scenarios before making major business decisions.

  • Check your cash flow health score before committing to new expenses.
