The problem
A bookkeeper tells you what happened. A forecast tells you what might. Most founders keep them in two tools and lose month-end reconciling the two by hand, so variance is always a step behind reality and the model drifts from the books it was supposed to sit on.
How YourBooks handles it
Automated entries, categorisation, and reconciliation, with a ledger you can read.
Your monthly actuals appear in YourCFO on their own, so the baseline and the variance stay grounded in real numbers.
Model a hire, a campaign, or a price change on top of real actuals, and see what it does to runway before you commit.
a month closes in YourBooks
those actuals appear in your forecast automatically, variance updates itself, and the raise-ready model is already anchored to reality.
Backward-looking books and a forward-looking plan on one ledger. No bookkeeping firm and no bookkeeping tool gives you that.
