A 12-month plan that doesn't end up in a drawer
Build a budget from revenue and expense groups that match your business. Every line lives month by month and every revenue carries a confidence level: idea, pending or confirmed. You see at once how much of the target is actually agreed.
- Revenue and expense groups, lines and employees in one table
- Confidence on every revenue: idea, pending, confirmed
- Comments and next steps right next to the cell
- Lock closed months so history stays put
- Salaries with payroll taxes are calculated automatically
- Up to three saved snapshots side by side
- Export of the selected year to Excel
Open it in the morning and know where the company stands
The overview translates the budget into a manager's language: profit by calendar year or rolling 12 months, how much of the target is confirmed with clients, and which revenues are still waiting for a decision. Unconfirmed revenue for this month and the next three is always in view.
- Profit chart with the current month and forecast
- Percentage of target achieved and expected invoicing
- A list of unconfirmed revenue you can edit on the spot
- Customer receivables straight from accounting
Unconfirmed revenue · Next 3 months
Profit is an opinion, cash is a fact
The cash flow view splits movements into operating, investing and financing activities and carries the closing balance into the next month automatically. Fixed asset purchases arrive straight from the asset table; receipts and payments can be pulled from accounting.

- Opening and closing cash balance month by month
- Import of receipts and payments from accounting software
- View 6, 9 or 12 months at once
- Purchases flow automatically into cash flow
Investments that don't vanish from the budget
Add purchases and improvements month by month, keep construction in progress separate, and commission it when the time comes. Foresian calculates depreciation itself and keeps past months frozen so your reports reconcile.
- Straight-line, declining balance or manually set depreciation
- Useful life, annual rate and residual value on every asset
- Cumulative construction in progress and one-click commissioning
- Cumulative construction in progress and one-click commissioning

- Due date and time
- An assignee from the team
- Overdue, today's and tomorrow's tasks shown separately
A business model canvas you can read at a glance
The whole business model sits on one board. You write an entry straight into the field, give it a colour and link it to a customer segment. Partners, activities, the value proposition, channels, costs and revenue streams are all in front of you. Once the picture is clear, the simulation compares the number of customers, the price and the costs.
- Nine fields on one canvas
- Simulation: customers, price, fixed costs and variable cost
- Simulation: customers, price, fixed costs and variable cost
- Several versions side by side
