I built a free cash flow forecasting tool for small businesses - here's why

Most small business owners I know manage cash flow one of two ways: a spreadsheet they barely update, or gut feeling.

Neither works when your bank asks for a forecast.

I built FlowCast to fix that. It takes about 3 minutes. Enter your income, expenses, and starting cash balance, and you get a 6-month visual forecast with AI insights, a cash runway indicator, and a PDF or Excel export your bank will actually accept.

No subscription. No accountant required. Free forever.

What I learned building it

The hardest part was resisting the urge to add complexity. Every time I wanted to add a feature, I asked: would a bakery owner with zero finance knowledge use this? If the answer was no, I cut it.

Simple won.

Where I am now

Just launched. Working on SEO, getting listed on directories, and writing content for small business owners who need cash flow help but can't afford a CFO.

Would love feedback from anyone who has tried to solve this problem, for yourself or your users.
