Make decisions with confidence.
Every important decision starts with a plan.
With Capassa you build both a profit budget and a cash flow budget automatically, so you can plan profitability and cash flow before the decisions are made.
You do not only see where the business is heading.
You also see whether it has enough fuel to get there.
Two budgets.
One basis for decisions.
A profit budget tells you whether the business is going to make money. A cash flow budget tells you whether it has enough money along the way. Both are necessary, which is why Capassa builds both automatically.
When you see both at the same time, it becomes easier to prioritise investments, hires and growth.
Profit budget
Are we going to reach our targets?
- Plan revenue, costs and profitability month by month.
- See the consequences of your decisions before you act on them.
Cash flow budget
Do we have enough money along the way?
- A profitable company can still run out of money.
- The cash flow budget shows how money is expected to come in and go out through the year, so you can plan ahead and keep more options open.
A budget is the map.
A budget is about more than numbers — it is the plan for the business.
When management, the board and advisers all steer by the same plan, priorities become clearer and decisions become better.
We used to spend a lot of time building budgets by hand. With Capassa we always have an up-to-date profit and cash flow budget available, so we can discuss investments, hires and growth based on facts rather than gut feeling.

Follow the plan all year round.
A budget should not be built once and then left in a drawer.
Capassa continuously compares the budget with the actual numbers, so you can see where the business is following the plan and where it is starting to drift.
Small deviations are spotted early.
That also makes them easier to do something about.
Built for better decisions.
A budget is not a goal in itself.
It is the basis for the decisions the business makes through the year.
Whether you are hiring, investing, raising capital or growing, Capassa shows both how the decision affects profit and how it affects cash flow.
That makes it easier to choose the right way forward.
The budget shows where you want to be.
The forecast shows where you are heading.
A budget sets the direction, and the forecast shows whether the business is still following the plan or whether the course needs adjusting.
Plan with confidence.
Build both a profit budget and a cash flow budget in minutes, and follow the development all year round.
Try CapassaFrequently asked questions
Do I need to be an accountant to build a budget?
No. Capassa builds the budget automatically from the company's historical accounts. You can adjust every number — expected growth or new costs, for example — and the system assembles the rest for you. Everything is fully dynamic, and you need no spreadsheet skills or finance background to get started.
What happens if the plans change?
The budget is dynamic and forecast-based, built to develop alongside the business rather than sit untouched in a drawer. You can update the assumptions whenever the situation changes — a new hire or a drop in demand, for instance — and the budget automatically works out how that affects the rest of the year.
Are profit and cash flow connected?
Yes. The profit budget and the cash flow budget are linked, but they are two separate worksheets. When you change something in the profit budget, such as expected revenue or a new cost, you are asked whether the cash flow budget should be updated accordingly, so you can see how the change affects both profitability and how much money the business has along the way.
What do I do if the actual numbers deviate from the budget?
Remember that the profit budget is the map for the business — the aim is not for the numbers to match exactly. It is about setting the direction and updating it as you go. You can use Capa to understand why the deviation arose, for example whether it is down to lower sales or higher costs than expected, and update the budget if the plans really have changed.
Can I use the budget in board meetings and with the bank?
Yes. The budget can be shared along with the rest of your decision material, in board meetings, with the bank or with investors. Everyone then discusses the same plan and the same numbers instead of their own separate estimates.
Is the budget useful if I have never built one before?
Yes. That is precisely why the feature was built. Capassa makes it easier to get started and gives you a realistic starting point based on the company's own numbers, rather than an empty spreadsheet you have to fill in yourself. You need no previous budgeting experience to start using it.
