Why Finance Teams Choose Dryrun with Xero
Xero is a powerful accounting system, but when it comes to cash flow forecasting and deeper cash flow management, the built-in features often don’t go far enough. Many businesses fill the gap with spreadsheets, but those introduce errors, stale data, and wasted time.
Dryrun Cash Flow Forecasting Software integrates directly with Xero, giving finance leaders more accurate, automated forecasts. With real-time syncing and advanced scenario modeling, Dryrun helps teams make smarter decisions and manage cash flow with confidence.
Why Spreadsheets Struggle with Cash Flow Forecasting and Scenario Modeling
When Xero’s standard tools can’t provide the insight you need, spreadsheets often become the fallback. While they seem flexible at first, they quickly add hidden costs: manual entry, broken formulas, outdated numbers, and collaboration headaches.
To take cash flow forecasting and cash flow management to the next level, finance teams need more than spreadsheets. Dryrun combines live integration, automation, and scenario modeling into one streamlined solution for Xero users.
The Hidden Challenges of Spreadsheet Forecasting
Error-Prone Inputs
Manual data entry and fragile formulas distort cash flow forecasts, putting decisions at risk.
Time-Heavy Updates
Teams spend hours maintaining spreadsheets instead of focusing on strategy and cash flow management.
No Real-Time Sync with Xero
Exports become outdated quickly, leaving a gap between actual transactions and forecasts.
Version Control Confusion
Multiple copies cause conflicting numbers and erode trust in the data.
Complexity Overload
Spreadsheets struggle with multi-entity operations, payment variations, and volatile cycles. Scenario modeling becomes slow and error-prone.
Limited Collaboration
Spreadsheets aren’t designed for team use, leading to silos and delayed decisions.
Security Gaps
Without enterprise protections, sensitive cash flow data is at risk of being shared or exposed.
Scaling Challenges
As data and operations grow, spreadsheets become slow and harder to maintain, limiting effective cash flow management.
Inconsistent Reporting
Spreadsheets make it difficult to create polished, consistent cash flow forecasts that leadership can rely on.
