Agency Bench & Delayed Revenue Forecaster
A specialized financial modeling tool for service agencies to calculate cash runway, delayed payment impacts, and hiring timelines for long-cycle contracts.
これが重要な理由
You finally won a massive B2B service contract after months of negotiation. The celebrations end abruptly when you realize the reality of the timeline: the start date might slip, the scope might change, and even once work begins, the client operates on net-sixty payment terms. You are expected to hire staff, sign leases, and cover payroll for months before seeing a single dollar. Relying on basic spreadsheet models leaves you vulnerable to one delayed invoice crashing your entire operation. You need a financial scenario planning tool built specifically for service agencies with long, unpredictable sales cycles, allowing you to model exact cash flow gaps and hiring triggers based on probabilistic contract start dates.
