The Problem

Cash flow is your most complex forecast,
and the one you can't get wrong

  • There's no ledger for cash flow, so it has to be derived formula by formula.
  • The data is scattered across many systems, and it multiplies with every entity you add.
  • It's not just about amounts but timing too, and a lot of it comes down to judgment.
  • And every version still has to reconcile back to your income statement and balance sheet.
The Solution

Drivetrain is built to handle the full complexity of your cash flow

[ 01 ]

From your bank to your ERP, always
on real-time data.

Drivetrain connects natively to every system your cash touches—ERP, CRM, billing, HRIS, AP tools, and bank.

Whether you're refreshing the weekly forecast or tracking daily cash movements, you're always working from the most current numbers.

[ 02 ]

Build any cash flow model, with the
level of granularity you need.

Build an indirect or direct cash flow statement, a rolling 13-week forecast, or a long-range plan on Drivetrain.

Write formulas in Excel-like syntax, with AI to help you. Forecast AR by customer and AP by vendor, with the option to override any number.

[ 03 ]

Consolidate entities and currencies, automatically.

Drivetrain’s consolidation module rolls every entity into one group-level view, handling intercompany eliminations. Set each entity's reporting, constant, and local currency.

Drivetrain translates every transaction into your reporting currency, runs FX gains and losses, and auto-computes CTA, so your consolidated cash flow always ties out.

[ 04 ]

Evaluate multiple scenarios
in minutes.

Build a scenario with a simple prompt like: "How would our runway change if we hired 30 reps next month?" Change any assumption in your P&L and assess its impact on cash flow.

Or, set a goal and let AI find the best path to it.

[ 05 ]

Keep a close grip on cash.

Track cash movement daily, with constant visibility into your runway and burn. Know exactly what you spent last week and where, and how you're tracking against budget.

Use AI to surface what's driving a variance, then drill any number down to the transactions behind it.

“Drivetrain has very flexible forecasting that allowed us to build our entire forecast, top-line, expenses, balance sheet & cash, and all be interconnected with each other. The formula writing is intuitive and has a short learning curve when transitioning from Excel.”

FAQ

Your questions, answered

Still have questions?Talk to us

Is the cash flow linked to my P&L and balance sheet? Does it update when those change?

Your P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow are one connected model, so a change in one flows through to the other two automatically. There's nothing to re-link or roll forward by hand.

Can I model collection timing at the customer or invoice level, not just a blanket DSO?

Drivetrain’s flexible modeling engine allows you to forecast collections at the customer or invoice level, with different payment timing for each, instead of one blanket DSO across the book. And you can override any cell manually when you know a specific customer will pay early or late.

How does a change flow through to cash—if I add a head, sign a deal, or take on debt?

On Drivetrain, you can build interconnected models easily. Say your headcount and payroll model feeds your P&L, and your P&L is connected to your cash flow and balance sheet. So when you add a hire, it flows through the whole chain; your P&L, cash, and balance sheet all update at once. Sign a deal or take on debt, and it works the same way: change it once, and every connected model reflects it.

Can Drivetrain pull from all my cash sources, such as AR, AP, payroll, multiple bank accounts?

Yes, Drivetrain connects natively to your ERP, CRM, billing, HRIS, AP tools, and banks, so AR, AP, payroll, and bank data flow in automatically and stay current.

Does Drivetrain work across entities and currencies, properly consolidated?

Drivetrain's native consolidation rolls every entity into one group-level cash flow, with intercompany eliminations handled. Each transaction is translated into your reporting currency, with FX gains and losses and CTA computed automatically.

Can I get a weekly cash report to the board or C-suite, in a consistent format each week?

Build your cash report once, and it refreshes in the same format every week, showing what you spent, where, and how it tracks against budget. AI can draft the variance commentary. Schedule and share it with your board or C-suite so they get the same view every week, without you assembling it by hand.

Do I need a consultant, or can my team build and own models?

Your team can build and own models on Drivetrain, without any consultant. Formulas are written in Excel-like syntax you already know, with AI to help you build and edit, so there's no proprietary language to learn and no dependency on outside help.

Rebuilding your cash flow every week in spreadsheets?

See a cash flow that always ties out, stays current, and doesn't need the weekly rebuild.
