Forecast · Powered by Ando Systems

See the four numbers that actually run your business.

Forecast connects to QuickBooks and your bank, then surfaces the handful of numbers that decide whether you're making money this month: cash on hand, profit by customer, what's recurring out the door, and who owes you. No more guessing on Monday morning.

What it does

Four answers, in one place, without you opening QuickBooks.

QuickBooks holds the truth. The problem is, the truth is buried under twenty reports. Forecast pulls the four numbers an owner actually needs and shows them clean.

Cash

Your real cash position, every Monday

Not the bank balance. Cash on hand minus what you owe in the next 30 days, plus what's actually likely to land. Updated daily; readable in 10 seconds.

Customer revenue & risk

Who pays you, and who's slipping

Top customers ranked by revenue, last-ordered date, and concentration risk (if your #1 left tomorrow, what's the dent). Plus the early-warning view: customers who used to buy steady and quietly stopped. Works on any QuickBooks setup, no class tracking required.

Want the precise margin per customer? That's a books-cleanup conversation, talk to Frank about getting your QuickBooks set up for job costing.

Recurring

What's bleeding out, monthly

Every recurring charge in your business (software, subscriptions, vendor fees) surfaced and totaled. The forgotten $39/mo from 2021 that's still hitting your card.

AR aging

Who owes you, and how long they've owed it

The receivables that are aging out, sorted by customer, with one-click follow-up. Most owners can win back two months of cash just by reading this view once a week.

See what's coming

See the slow season coming before your bank account does.

Your books are always a few weeks behind, so you usually find out when the account's already low. Ando reads your live bank and shows you the next 13 weeks of cash. No reconciliation, no month-end, no waiting. You see it while you can still do something about it.

Waiting on the books
Numbers weeks behind. You find out the slow season landed after it already drained the account.

Common questions

The questions owners actually ask first.

Do I have to use Forecast to work with you on consulting?

No. The software is one offering. Plenty of clients work with me on operations and AI without ever touching Forecast. They're decoupled by design.

What if my books aren't clean?

Most aren't on day one. Forecast reads what's in QuickBooks. If the books are messy, the views surface that. For self-serve, you'll see the mess. For build & own, cleaning the books is part of the engagement.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Forecast connects to your bank through Plaid in read-only mode and to QuickBooks through Intuit OAuth. Your bank password never touches our servers. Access tokens are encrypted at rest (AES-256). The connection cannot initiate transfers or move money under any circumstances. Full details at andosystems.com/security.

Does it work if I don't use QuickBooks?

QuickBooks Online is the supported integration today. If you're on Xero, FreshBooks, or Sage, talk to me first, and we'll know quickly whether the built-and-owned path fits.

Can I get the dashboard without the monthly fee?

That's the built-and-owned path. You pay for the setup engagement, you own the dashboard. No monthly subscription. Trade-off: it's scoped per project, not a fixed price.

What's the difference between this and just looking at QuickBooks reports?

Forecast shows you the four numbers that actually decide if you're making money this month, surfaced in one place, in plain English. QuickBooks shows you everything. The work is in deciding what to look at; we already did that.
