The Cloud has changed everything, from how we share holiday snaps with our families to how we manage our working life. Financial management software has been at the heart of this transformation, streamlining financial processes and changing the way we do business. Being savvy with the platforms you use can help free up your time and facilitate your growth.
Cloud accounting software and cash flow management tools are two of the biggest opportunities for small businesses in the financial management software space. Here, we share our top favourites financial management software.

Cash Flow Management
Float is cash flow forecasting software that gives you the answers you need (and sometimes answers questions you didn’t know you had) with cash flow insights that combine your bills, invoices, and actuals with the budgets you set. It syncs with Xero, Quickbooks and FreeAgent to make managing your business finances even easier.
Fluidly is an all-in-one cashflow management platform.
