Ever spent hours staring at spreadsheets, wondering where next month’s cash will come from? You’re not alone. Financial forecasting is one of the biggest headaches—and biggest risks—for small businesses. But in 2025, something remarkable happened:

AI did the heavy lifting.

It seems that Bank of America has rolled out an AI-powered forecasting tool called CashPro Forecasting, and that over 3,000 companies have used it to save more than 250,000 hours this year. Instead of wrestling with manual spreadsheets, business owners got data-driven financial forecasts in minutes — with insights for the next day, month, or even year.

What This Means for You

If your business deals with volatility (hello, every small business ever ☝️), having accurate cash forecasting isn’t a luxury — it’s a superpower. Here’s why this matters:

• More time doing what you love: AI slashes the hours you spend crunching numbers.

• Smarter decisions: Instead of guessing about cash flow, you get clarity.

• Better confidence: Knowing your financial outlook helps you plan staffing, inventory, or that much-needed marketing push.

And here’s the kicker: you don’t need to be a finance whiz or tech guru to benefit from tools like this — the smart ones are designed to be intuitive and business-friendly. And there are many new tools that can help you right now.
