Float Cash Flow vs. Ignition

Float is great for a startup/small (< 20 employee companies) that have limited resources for keeping an eye on cash flow. Yes, you could hire a contractor CFO, but it would simply be less expensive to use Float and educate yourself a bit about cash flow. For larger companies I feel like you would have a dedicated financial controller or CFO that may already have tools they are familiar with, but this service might also still be useful.

It can be used to invoice for anyone, so I will always recommend it.

• Cash flow management.
• Forecasting out how much you can spend.
• Quickbooks integration.

• Proposal process. PI makes it easy to create and send proposals to new and existing clients, collect their payment info, and get signature on the engagement letter.
• Easily identify engagements that will be expiring, so we can begin to assemble a renewal.
• Communication to and from the client during the proposal process, which keeps everything associated with the proposal together in one place.

• Quickbooks integration could be improved to automatically include recurring transactions.
• Pricing is a little steep for smaller businesses.

• I would love to see it really support other industries better, like Marketing. There are workarounds for invoicing and set up, but it could be easier.
• I would love the option to be able to send the client a single proposal with different options and allow them to select which one they want to move forward with. Right now we have to send a proposal for each option.
• I would love for there to be user permissions where certain users can log in to see the proposals they are associated with without seeing everything.

You aren't able to customize the design of the proposal, but it surpases everything we have ever tried. It's easy to use and quick to learn.

• We've had a positive ROI since we're able to take bigger risks now that we understand how much cash will be in our account on what day.
• We are able to make adjustments to our contractors and services to grow our business faster.

• We have reduced our A/R by 60% and expect to completely eliminate A/R by the end of this year.
