Causal, Inc
Definitely suited best for B2B / B2B2C product modelling. We used this for B2B / B2B2C / C2C and the C2C side of things was always more complex to model out due to this being dependent on marketing spend (CAC) and factors around virality which really cannot be forecasted (not a shortcoming of Causal, just implied by the mechanics of modelling)

I wish I found Forecastr years ago. No other software has been able to simplify finances with models and forecasting in a very clear manner like this, plus, with the CFO addition, it's a breath of fresh air for the first time in 8 years of business with finances.
