I first introduced you to Dryrun in 2017. At that time it was a relatively new tool that made cash-flow forecasting painless for QuickBooks Online. Then in 2022, as part of our series on Analytics/Reporting Apps I wrote another synopsis of Dryrun that focused primarily on the enhanced and new features it was offering since the earlier article.
But most software isn’t static. It changes over time to meet the requirements of those using it. It also becomes more technologically adapt based on the underlying software engine being used. As a result, it’s time to take ‘Another Look’ at Dryrun.
Whether you are an accountant, bookkeeper, ProAdvisor or other business consultant, Dryrun can monitor, model and manage your client's financial success.
Dryrun provides up-to-the-minute dynamic forecasts, automating cash flow and sales projections while giving you complete control over those projections. Powerful, unlimited scenario modeling equips you to explore different strategies before advising your clients.
