Use your accounting data to jumpstart your LivePlan Forecast
Do you ever find yourself needing to stop and consider where you’ve been, so you can feel confident about your plan for where you’re headed?
This practice of comparing actual results (what’s already happened) to your estimated projections (your plan for the future) is crucial to maintaining the health of your business.
