In today’s fast-paced business world, managing cash flow and forecasting accurately is more than just good practice — it’s a survival strategy. This is especially true in sectors like real estate and taxation, where market conditions shift rapidly, regulations evolve frequently, and timing is everything.
At Realtax, we use the powerful tools of Fathom and Xero — or Fathom and QBO — to bring clarity and strategic control to your finances. With our industry-specific expertise combined with Fathom Forecasting, we help clients look beyond the numbers and plan confidently for what’s next.
Why Cash Flow Forecasting Is Crucial
Cash flow isn’t just about having money in the bank — it’s about knowing what’s coming in and going out so you can make smarter decisions. For real estate developers, property managers, and tax advisors, cash flow planning helps:
- Anticipate slow seasons or tax deadlines
- Prepare for large expenses
- Adapt to new regulations
- Capitalize on growth opportunities
Fathom cashflow tools, powered by real-time data from Xero or QBO, provide dynamic forecasting models that go far beyond spreadsheets — offering deep insights and proactive financial planning.
What Is Fathom Forecasting — and Why Should You Care?
Fathom is a powerful, visual financial analysis and forecasting platform. It integrates seamlessly with Xero, QuickBooks Online (QBO), and other leading accounting software.
It helps businesses like yours:
- Monitor financial performance in real-time
- Create clear, professional Fathom reports
- Run detailed “what-if” scenarios
- Visualize key metrics for better planning
When paired with Realtax’s strategic oversight, Fathom Forecasting becomes more than a tool — it becomes a growth engine.
