Questions before you start?

Here are the most common questions we get asked in demos.

Model Reef improves accuracy by linking live AR/AP activity directly into a cashflow model that updates continuously. Instead of relying on static spreadsheets, teams work from real-time data that reflects actual invoice and payment movements. This prevents outdated assumptions from distorting projections. Accountants can quickly identify risks that emerge from timing changes or customer delays. Clients also gain clearer visibility into upcoming obligations and expected receipts. These benefits give firms a stronger foundation for dependable cash flow forecasting without manual effort.

Short-term cash movement is often obscured when invoices and bills sit in separate systems or disconnected spreadsheets. Model Reef eliminates this gap by consolidating all AR/AP activity into a single, live workspace. This enables clearer interpretation of payment timing, customer behaviour, and supplier obligations. Firms can quickly identify gaps between expected and actual movements. Clients receive a clearer picture of their financial position at any point in time. These improvements create true financial visibility for businesses.

Yes - Model Reef adapts to each client’s unique inflow and outflow patterns, updating forecasts dynamically as payments clear or due dates shift. This ensures cash projections reflect real client activity rather than generic assumptions. Accountants can model late payments, early receipts, or debtor concentration risks easily. Each client receives forecasts that are specific to their operational realities. This allows accountants to give more accurate and proactive advice. These capabilities make the system ideal for advanced business cash forecasting across diverse portfolios.

Traditional AR/AP workflows rely on exported aging reports that lose relevance quickly. Model Reef replaces this with live classification that groups invoices and bills by customer, supplier, terms, aging, or payment behaviour. This helps accountants identify bottlenecks and risks earlier. Teams also avoid the rework caused by constantly rebuilding spreadsheets. Clients benefit from clearer explanations of upcoming cash demands and opportunities. These improvements support stronger, real-time payables and receivables mapping.

Model Reef provides a continuously updated view of inflows, outflows, and expected cash positions, eliminating delays caused by manual reconciliation. This helps accountants quickly assess whether cash availability aligns with operational demands. Payment behaviour automatically feeds into the forecast, removing guesswork. Clients gain continuous clarity on potential shortfalls or surpluses. This improves decision-making throughout the month rather than just at month-end. These streamlined processes deliver dependable cash position monitoring.

With live AR/AP data driving cashflow models, consultants can provide clients with faster, sharper insights. The platform highlights upcoming risks and opportunities based on real movement rather than static assumptions. This shifts advisory conversations toward proactive planning rather than explaining outdated reports. Forecasts adjust automatically as invoices or bills change, increasing confidence in recommendations. Clients receive guidance grounded in accurate, evolving data. Together, these capabilities enhance the quality of financial planning for consultants.

Model Reef removes the repetitive steps typically required to tie invoices, bills, and payments back to forecast assumptions. Automated classification ensures information stays aligned without manual sorting. This reduces the time accountants spend tracking discrepancies between ledgers and spreadsheets. As a result, teams shift more energy toward interpretation and client communication. Variances decrease significantly because the model updates instantly as transactions clear. These efficiencies strengthen the overall financial reconciliation process.

Model Reef continuously updates projections based on open invoices, unpaid bills, and historical payment patterns. This makes emerging cash pressures visible far sooner than traditional spreadsheet workflows. Accountants can model alternative scenarios such as delayed receipts or early settlements. Clients gain confidence knowing their forecasts reflect real operational behaviour. This supports more informed decisions around short-term funding, payment planning, and working-capital strategy. These advantages create a more reliable approach to predicting business cash needs.
