For business owners

Turn this year’s accounts
into next year’s plan.

Connect Xero, QuickBooks, or Zoho, or paste a P&L and Balance Sheet from MYOB or any other system. Pellucid builds a driver-based forecast in Excel from that history.

The stuck point

The accounts tell you what happened.
They do not tell you what to do next.

Cash-flow uncertainty

“Will I have enough cash to run my business over the coming months?”

An average of past cash does not say when wages, suppliers or tax are paid. Pellucid forecasts each item from its driver and its payment terms, so the months ahead are more predictable and you can be more assured about the cash you will have.

Not knowing how profitable they will be

“If my costs keep rising, will I still make enough profit?”

Owners need to understand the relationship between sales, pricing, staffing and operating expenses to see whether their current business model is sustainable.

Making decisions without modelling the consequences

“Can I afford to grow, hire or invest?”

Without an accessible forecasting model, owners may rely on intuition or spend money before understanding the effect on cash flow, profit and the balance sheet.

Your path

Start from the accounts
you already keep.

  • Xero, QuickBooks or Zoho
  • P&L and Balance Sheet
  • FAST-aligned Excel forecast

Or copy and paste from MYOB and any other accounting system.

  1. Bring in the P&L and Balance Sheet

    Connect Xero, QuickBooks, or Zoho. For MYOB or anything else, paste the same statements.

  2. Pellucid reads that history into drivers and rates

    Sales, wages, rent, and the other lines become assumptions, not a fresh blank model.

  3. Set the operating assumptions

    Price, headcount, and a second site are changes you make on purpose.

  4. Watch the statements, then the variance

    P&L, Cash Flow, and Balance Sheet stay linked. Cash follows the driver and the payment terms of each item, not an average of past cash. Once you have actuals, the variance view shows why the month moved.

A worked example

Orders, wages, and rent —
then why the month moved.

From the accounts

Driver Rate Result
120 orders $85 $10,200 sales

Then

  • P&L
  • Cash Flow
  • Balance Sheet

What you can answer

Decisions the accounting file
leaves open.

  • Can I afford another employee?
  • What happens if prices increase by 10%?
  • What happens if I open another location?
  • Why didn’t this month match the forecast?
  • Which account and driver explain the gap?

Where the numbers live

Your accounting system stays
the system of record.

Xero, QuickBooks, and Zoho keep the history. Pellucid is the forward model in your workbook, aligned to the FAST Standard.

Connect or paste

Direct integration for Xero, QuickBooks, and Zoho. Copy and paste the P&L and Balance Sheet from MYOB or any other system.

Aligned to the FAST Standard

The workbook follows the FAST Standard — Flexible, Appropriate, Structured and Transparent. You can inspect the formulas and change assumptions as the business changes.

Your data stays in the workbook

No training on your numbers. No stored copy of the spreadsheet on our servers.

Pricing

A plan you can
run the business on.

A linked P&L, Cash Flow and Balance Sheet can take more than two hours to build by hand.

If you are new to financial modelling, you could be looking at two weeks. Even a professional can spend two days getting it right.

Asking Claude or ChatGPT for a spreadsheet still leaves you unsure what was hardcoded, why a formula is there, and how to change an assumption.

Build it yourself

More than 2 hours, before the three statements even hold together.

About 2 weeks
if you are new to financial modelling
At least 2 days
if you already build models professionally

Ask Claude or ChatGPT

A spreadsheet in minutes. Then uncertainty about the model you were given.

Hardcoded numbers
Which figures were typed in, and which ones move.
Unexplained formulas
Why this formula is used, and what it assumes.
Changing an assumption
You have to find where it lives before you can move it.
Someone else's model
You still have to learn it, and it may not scale or add to the financial insight you already have.
