Straight answers about what Focus on Cash does, what it costs and how your data is kept safe.
What is Focus on Cash?
A financial optics platform: complete financial analysis for businesses doing $500K to $20M in sales. Connect Xero or upload your Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet. Then you see sales, profit, assets and cash flow, explained in plain English. Coaches and advisors use it to run the same analysis for every client.
Is Focus on Cash a cash flow tool?
No. Cash flow is one part of it. Focus on Cash is a financial optics platform. It gives you a clear view of sales, profit, assets and cash flow. The What If lets you test a decision before you make it. The name points at cash because most tools leave it out.
What accounting software does it work with?
Xero connects directly, with a live sync. For any other system, upload your Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet as Excel files. You get the same analysis either way. The Xero page lists what Focus on Cash reads and how to connect.
How is this different from what my accountant gives me?
Your accountant keeps your books correct and does your tax. Focus on Cash shows what the numbers mean and lets you test a decision before you make it. The accountant reports history. Running the business from the numbers is the owner's job, and it can be made easy.
Xero already has reports. Why would I need this?
Xero keeps your books and shows the numbers. Focus on Cash shows what they mean, in charts and plain English, and where to look first. How we think about it.
Do I need to be good with numbers?
No. Open a screen and the first line tells you what your numbers mean. Each ratio comes with a plain explanation, so you learn to read your own accounts as you go.
Can I try it before I buy?
You can try the What If screen on the home page now, without signing up. Any questions, email Mandy before you buy. Every subscription is annual, with every feature from day one.
How does pricing work?

I'm an advisor with 15 clients. What do I pay?
$7,499 a year plus GST, or $8,248.90 including GST. That is $4,999 for your first 10 client companies and $500 for each of the other 5. One subscription covers your whole list, and each client's data is kept separate.

Are my figures used for analytics?

What size business is it for?
Businesses doing $500K to $20M in sales. That is enough complexity to need proper analysis. It is usually too small to justify a full-time CFO.
