Cash flow forecasting

Know when you’re getting paid. Before it happens.

Every invoice Handl sends feeds a live forecast of when the money actually lands — so you can stop guessing, stop the spreadsheet, and plan like you can see around the corner.

The problem

The spreadsheet that's already wrong

Every agency owner has one. A spreadsheet of who owes what, when it's roughly due, and a column of guesses about when it'll actually pay. It's out of date the moment you close it. You update it on a Sunday night, an invoice gets paid Monday morning, and now you're making payroll decisions off a number that's already a lie.

Cash flow is the thing that keeps you up at night, and you're tracking it in the worst possible tool. Handl forecasts it for you, off real invoices, automatically, and it's never out of date because it updates itself.

How it works

How the forecast actually works

Because Handl sends your invoices and watches your projects, it already knows three things a spreadsheet can't: what's been invoiced, what's about to be invoiced, and how fast each client actually pays. It turns that into a forecast of real money on real dates — not “this is due Net 30.” Actual prediction of when it'll hit your account.

  • Money already invoiced

    Every sent invoice, plotted on the date it's likely to pay — not the date it's “due,” the date it'll actually land based on how that client behaves.

  • Money about to be invoiced

    The milestones approaching completion and the retainers about to renew are already in the forecast before the invoice even fires. You see the money coming a step earlier than anyone else does.

  • Weighted pipeline

    Open opportunities and proposals, probability-weighted, so your forecast includes the deals that are likely to close without pretending they're certain.

See it the way your brain works

Calendar view

For the “can I pay myself this month” question. See exactly which days money is expected to land.

Chart view

For the “are we trending up or about to hit a wall” question. The shape of your next 90 days at a glance.

Filtered view

Include or exclude specific projects and clients, so you can model “what if that big one slips” without touching anything else.

The payoff

Why this only works because of everything else

You can’t bolt accurate forecasting onto a tool that doesn’t send your invoices. This is the payoff for the whole Handl loop. Because the AI agent writes and sends the invoices, because the client portal tracks exactly when each one gets viewed and paid, the forecast is built on real, live data — not numbers you typed in last week.

That's the thread the whole product is built around: connecting the work you do to the money you're owed. The forecast is where you finally get to see that thread. Work in flight, invoices out, payments landing, cash position moving — one live picture instead of six tabs and a spreadsheet.

Knowing you'll get paid is good. Knowing exactly when, before it happens, is how you stop running your business on stress and start running it on numbers.
