MaCompta Pro

See where you will be in three or six months

Today's balance says nothing about next month. The projection takes what you have, subtracts what is already committed, adds what is due to come in — and draws the curve. Where it dips, you know before you get there.

Look ahead

Where will your cash stand in 1, 3, 6 or 12 months?

MaCompta Pro extends your balance from what you have already entered. You see lean months coming instead of discovering them on the day of the direct debit.

Example
Actual — what is entered and confirmedForecast — what is already scheduled

In this example, the low point comes in 3 months, at €12,800: several payments you already know about land in the same quarter. You know it today, not on the day of the direct debit.

Illustrative projection, calculated from what you have entered. No balance is fetched automatically from your bank: you declare your accounts and due dates yourself.

What feeds the projection

Nothing is guessed: the forecast line only uses items you have entered yourself in MaCompta Pro.

Scheduled income
Scheduled expenses
Recurring items

Budgets

A projection is not accounting: it looks ahead, certifies nothing and is neither financial nor tax advice.

Simulation and tracking

Test a decision, then compare it with reality

Measure the effect of an expense before committing to it, then compare planned against actual every month: two ways to improve the quality of your forecasts.

“What if I buy a €8,000 machine in November?”

You enter an amount and a month. MaCompta Pro replays your planning and shows the impact, line by line, on a working copy.

Another variant tested: spreading the purchase over 4 instalments of €2,000

A simulation changes nothing: your budgets, reserves and forecasts stay as they are until you confirm the expense. Test as many scenarios as you need, then decide.

Planned vs actual

The month is over: MaCompta Pro puts what you had planned side by side with what you actually entered.

Line by line, you see where the forecast was right and where it wasn't. The following month, you start from figures closer to your reality — and the variance shrinks.
