THE DIFFERENCE · SEEING AHEAD

Does your system tell you where month-end will land while there’s still time to act?

Around mid-month we take your trial balance and open receivables and payables, and project the month-end close. The forecast comes with a stated range, tested against your own past closes.

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

  • Cash projection tools built on bank activity and open invoices
  • Conversational forecasting on higher-priced tiers
  • No published accuracy against your own past closes

THE BRADLEY & COMPANY PLATFORM

  • Projected income statement and balance sheet for the month in progress, clearly marked PROJECTED
  • A base view, with pending deals shown separately so you can see the month with and without them
  • Each forecast method back-tested against your closed months
  • A stated forecast range, so you know how much weight to give it
HOW IT WORKS
1

At mid-month we load your trial balance and your receivable and payable agings.

2

The platform projects the rest of the month using your own billing pattern and pay schedule.

3

The same method is run against your past closed months, and its typical error becomes the stated range.

WHY IT MATTERS
Know month-end before it happens, and how close our forecast usually is.

Two weeks is enough time to push a shipment, chase a collection, or hold a purchase. Thirty days after close, it is history.
