### Being able to look at your numbers at a glance and know right away where you’re doing well and what needs your attention is what helps businesses grow faster and more strategically.

 

[LivePlan](http://www.liveplan.com/) is the best tool I have found for [business planning](https://www.budgetease.biz/blog/cash-forecasting-and-business-planning-from-budgetease-with-liveplan), goal setting, financing assistance, competitive and milestone tracking, and management of your key financial indicators. LivePlan syncs seamlessly with your QuickBooks or Xero accounting software, which allows you to have a living plan that you can access from anywhere to grow your business. 

I am totally addicted to this program. LivePlan lets me know at a glance how my business is doing compared to my forecast and prior periods. As a result, my business is on track because I can easily make decisions like should I add a person or increase my space. 

LivePlan provides a cash forecast so I am not surprised by unexpected cash needs that could be detrimental to my company. I also get an [AR aging number](https://www.budgetease.biz/blog/how-small-businesses-can-control-their-accounts-receivables) that alerts me to when I need to step up my collections efforts.

To find out if LivePlan would be a good fit for your company, contact me at [kathy@budgetease.biz](mailto:kathy@budgetease.biz).
