Keeping the forecast current
Building the model
is only the beginning.
The formulas still hold. The assumptions keep moving.
A receipt slips. Payroll changes. Your client asks for another scenario. Each update means reconciling the inputs, revising the model, and explaining a new version.
Then do it again next week.
Across every client you advise.

The same moment, with AgentLink
Explore the upside.
Keep the evidence in view.
AgentLink carries the forecast forward daily against the latest available bank activity.
Test an assumption against customer payment history. Keep an optimistic scenario separate from expected cash, then set the target you want to work toward.
Until a change is confirmed, it stays a what-if. The expected forecast does not move.

How often is it right
A forecast is only worth something
if somebody checks it afterwards.
Every forecast is written down before the period and graded against what actually moved through the bank. Per client, all of them.
Worth asking every vendor in this category for the same record. Most cannot produce it, because most do not keep it.
It can be graded because it commits to specifics.
What the forecast is built from.
How customers pay.
Use observed collection patterns alongside invoice terms to model when receipts are likely to arrive.
An invoice says 30 days.
This customer tends to pay later.

What AgentLink is
A controller for
every client.
AgentLink is an AI controller for client work. It watches the bank and the ledger every day, keeps the forecast current, checks the plan against cash, and carries what was decided into the next call.
Getting started
Connect one client’s books. Five minutes later, an AI controller is running on them.
No behaviour change, no cadence change. It fits the way your firm already works.
Here’s what those five minutes unlock.
Monitors cash.
Checks what moved through the bank against what was expected.
Checks performance.
Tracks actuals against budgets and targets, bringing variances into view.
Prepares the brief.
Brings together changes, exceptions, and open decisions before your call.
Handles questions.
Answers client questions between meetings, under your firm’s name.
Follows through.
Keeps decisions connected to deadlines, evidence, and outcomes.
What your firm gets
Same team. Better margin, stickier clients.
Higher-value engagements.
Daily attention on every client, not a monthly report. That carries a different price.
Clients who hear from you first.
When something moves, you reach out before they ask.
Capacity without headcount.
Take on more client books without adding a person to watch them.
Why we built this
The profession
deserves more room
to do its best work.
Your clients trust your judgment.
That trust was earned.
That trust was earned.
It comes from years of learning the books, asking the difficult questions, and understanding what the numbers mean for a business.
Doing more of this work should not mean finding more hours to reconstruct the story, or hiring someone to hold it. The constraint is the daily attention it takes to stay close to every client, on every client, at once.
It also happens to be the work still valued at what it costs to do well. That matters, in a profession where most partners at small firms are making seventy five thousand, maybe a hundred, for work that carries a licence and somebody’s business.
We built AgentLink to carry that daily attention, so your expertise has more room to make a difference. The relationship stays yours. So does the judgment.
Built with practicing CPAs and fractional CFOs, against real client books, from the beginning.
