THE DIFFERENCE · SEEING AHEAD

Does your system show whether your plan can be funded?

A plan can be profitable on paper and still run out of cash. Our five-year projection builds the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow together, so you can see where the money comes from each year.

SIDE BY SIDE

What your software does, and what we add

You keep the accounting software you use today. The platform works from its standard reports.

TYPICAL ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE

  • Annual budgets, and on higher-priced tiers, profit forecasts and scenarios
  • Forecasts center on the income statement
  • No integrated balance sheet and cash flow projection

THE BRADLEY & COMPANY PLATFORM

  • Income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow projected together for five years, starting from your trailing twelve months of actual results
  • The balance sheet balances every year, and a check row proves it
  • Line-of-credit draws and repayments within your limit, with interest
  • An unfunded-gap line when the plan needs more cash than the line can provide
  • Owner distributions planned against cash, not just profit
HOW IT WORKS
1

Year one is your trailing twelve months of actual results, so the plan starts from where you really are.

2

Growth, margins, and capital spending drive all three statements at once.

3

When cash would fall below your minimum, the line of credit draws. When the line is full, the shortfall appears as an unfunded gap instead of disappearing.

WHY IT MATTERS
Profitable is not the same as fundable.

Banks lend against plans that balance. Seeing the year-3 gap today gives you time to negotiate a larger line, slow growth, or delay a purchase.

CFO commentary

The expansion draws on the line in years 2 and 3, and the line is fully repaid in year 4. Cash never falls below the $500,000 minimum, and the balance sheet balances in every year.
