Four key differentiators

Where the gap is widest

Each one is a concrete capability, not an adjective. Sage Intacct Planning is a capable FP&A suite. These are the jobs a dedicated cash flow tool does differently.

01
TIMING PRECISION

Cash position, daily and weekly

Cash Flow Frog forecasts cash specifically, daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly, on a rolling 36-month horizon. Run a 13-week cash flow, see exactly which week cash gets tight, and plan payroll, tax, and loan timing to the day.
Sage Intacct Planning: models cash within a broader FP&A budget built around P&L, revenue, and headcount, on the planning cycle. It is built for the annual budget, not a daily cash position.
02
Drill-Down Forecast

Every entity and dimension, on the forecast

Consolidate unlimited entities into one view, then break the forecast down by location, department, class, project, vendor, or customer, and switch between them in a click. Drill three levels deep from any figure to the invoices and bills behind it.
Sage Intacct Planning: carries Intacct's strong dimensions and multi-entity structure into the budget. Cash Flow Frog applies the same dimensions specifically to a forward cash forecast, with transaction-level drill-down.
03
Auto Projections

Projections that build themselves

Cash Flow Frog creates projections from rules: a percentage of revenue, a rolling average, a fixed growth rate, or a set amount, all updating on their own as new data syncs. After every sync it detects new patterns and suggests projections to review.
Sage Intacct Planning: uses driver-based models you build and maintain. Powerful for structured budgeting, but the forecast logic is something your team owns and updates.
04
AI Boost

Connect in minutes, plus AI access

Connect your Sage Intacct data and the forecast builds itself, no implementation project, transparent per-entity pricing, onboarding included. Push projections in via Zapier, and connect Claude or ChatGPT through MCP to question and update the forecast in plain language.
Sage Intacct Planning: is a licensed FP&A platform with an implementation timeline and quote-based pricing. It has no AI-assistant path for the cash flow forecast.
For finance teams & multi-entity businesses

The cash layer alongside your FP&A stack

Sage Intacct is your ledger. Sage Intacct Planning may be your budget. Cash Flow Frog is the fast, dedicated cash flow forecast that sits alongside both.

Live cash, not last month's budget

A rolling forecast that updates as transactions sync, so the cash position reflects today, between planning cycles, not just at them.

Consolidation that's ready to read

Unlimited entities, multi-currency, and every Intacct dimension in one consolidated forecast, with drill-down to the source.

Built for the cash conversation

13-week cash flow, scenario modeling, and a 3-year horizon for the questions a budget doesn't answer fast: can we cover payroll, fund the raise, time the debt.

Transparent pricing, no project

Published per-entity pricing and onboarding included, with no implementation and no custom quote. Sage Intacct partners and VARs have a dedicated program and rates.

What changed for them

Sourced from G2, Capterra, and Trustpilot.

"Sage Intacct Planning runs our budget. Cash Flow Frog runs our cash. Having a live 13-week view between planning cycles is the piece we were missing."

Sarah M. · CFO, Professional Services · Capterra

"We consolidate six entities. Seeing all of them in one rolling cash forecast, without an FP&A implementation, was running the same week we connected."

James R. · Founder, SaaS Company · G2

"The scenario planning lets me answer 'can we afford this' in minutes, with our real Sage data, without touching the budget model."

FAQ

Common questions.

Sage Intacct's native budgeting is manual, entering figures by GL line or uploading a static spreadsheet. For full planning, Sage offers Sage Intacct Planning, a dedicated FP&A suite covering budgets, P&L, revenue, and headcount, with what-if scenarios. Cash Flow Frog is narrower and faster: a dedicated cash flow forecast, connected to your Sage data in minutes, with no implementation. Many teams run both.
