Great at history, not so great at fortune-telling?

QuickBooks Online

We use QuickBooks (Online) for everything — banking, payroll, invoices, even the PPP loan stuff back in the day.

But lately I’ve been wondering if anyone has found a good way to get ahead of problems before they hit?

Like: • If I keep spending like this, will I be underwater in 2 months?

• Is this vendor contract screwing up my margins?

• What happens if I hire 2 more people — is that going to blow up my runway?

Feels like I’m always reacting instead of having a heads-up. QB gives me dashboards, but I still have to play spreadsheet jenga to figure anything out.

Anyone got a setup that actually helps you see around corners?
