Float does one job and is built around it: pulling actuals from Xero or QuickBooks Online and projecting cash forward. Its pricing page describes two horizons, a 13-week rolling forecast for day-to-day decisions and a monthly forecast that runs up to three years, which maps neatly to the owner watching payroll and the CFO preparing a board pack. Every plan includes unlimited users and 8 scenarios, so a bookkeeper or outside advisor can work in the same file. The Small Business plan, for companies under the revenue threshold Float publishes in pounds, costs $105 per month billed annually and caps forecasts at 12 months; Growth lifts that to 36 months and includes an onboarding call. Role-based permissions cover Admin, Editor and Viewer. The limits are clear: only two accounting systems connect today, and teams on NetSuite or Sage will need another tool. For the large group of small and midsize companies on Xero or QuickBooks, it is the most focused option we compared.
