Although the large IT vendors are necessary to properly serve large MNCs, we must accept that they cannot solve every single problem and that fintech’s may be solutions to problems often faced. There is a bias consisting of over-sizing solutions, perceived as sort of kitchen robots by treasurers and CFOs. The solution can be often found in emerging fintechs, for those who take time to contemplate existing and performing solutions to complete and fulfil their IT panoply of tools.

When considering the performance of any forecasting model, the prediction values it produces must be evaluated. This is done by calculating suitable error metrics. An error metric is a way to quantify the performance of a model and provides a way for the forecaster to quantitatively compare different models 1. They give us a way to more objectively gauge how well the model executes its tasks.

A recent article highlights a retirement issue, "lost" 401k accounts. It is estimated that 24 million accounts containing $1.35 trillion in assets have been left in 401k accounts when someone leaves an employer. And while these can be claimed easily, we want to make sure that you don't forget about a retirement account. You can often leave a 401k account with an old employer if you like the options and costs available, but you can also roll over the account tax-free into an IRA.

A 13 week cash flow forecast is a short term forecast used during liquidity shortfalls to plan a company’s cash flows and avoid financial distress such as missing payroll, defaulting on debt, and ending up in bankruptcy or receivership. Cash flow models, cash flow projections, and cash flow forecasts are shorthand for a 13 week cash flow model.
