The Problem

Running a business is hard.
Your finances shouldn't be a guessing game.

A healthy bank balance doesn't always mean the money is yours to spend. VAT may be due in a few months. Taxes like B-skat still needs to be paid. A large expense may be coming. And being profitable doesn't necessarily mean you'll have enough cash when you need it.

Money that isn't really available

It is easy to spend money that is sitting in your account without realising part of it will later be needed for VAT, tax or upcoming expenses. ESIO includes those future payments in your liquidity planning so you can see what is really available.

No clear view of what comes next

Your accounting shows what has already happened. But what happens if sales drop next month? Can you afford new equipment? What if you hire someone? What will your bank balance look like after your next VAT payment? ESIO helps you turn those questions into numbers.

🤷‍♂️

Decisions based on guesswork

Business decisions become much easier when you can see their financial consequences. Change your budget, add an expense, adjust your expected income or create another scenario and immediately see how the numbers change.

The Solution

From an empty budget to a clear financial plan

You don't need an accounting integration to get started. ESIO can begin with a completely empty budget and grow with your business.

  1. Create your organisation

    • Sign up to start your free trial.
    • Set up your business and choose the settings relevant to you.
  2. Build your budget

    • Start with a blank sheet and build the structure that makes sense for your business.
    • Create income and expense rows, add sub-rows, organise them into multiple levels, add notes and rearrange your budget whenever you need to.
  3. Add your numbers

    • Enter your expected income and expenses directly into the budget.
    • Duplicate, multiply or divide them with the flexibility of a spreadsheet without having to build all the calculations yourself.
  4. Let ESIO handle the calculations

    • Mark the relevant items for VAT and ESIO calculates their effect on your liquidity, including projected VAT payments according to your selected VAT frequency.
  5. Look ahead

    • Move between years with the arrows and keep planning.
    • Your budget doesn't stop at December. Your calculations continue as you move into the following year, allowing you to build a continuously evolving liquidity plan.
  6. Explore your results

    • Turn your budget into clear graphs and key figures.
    • Use the dashboard to understand trends and see how your expected income, costs and liquidity develop over time.
  7. Connect your accounting — if you want to

    • Using Dinero or e-conomic?
    • Connect your accounting system to bring actual financial data into ESIO, speed up your budgeting and compare what you planned with what actually happened.

Flexible liquidity
budgeting

Start with an empty sheet or use data from your accounting system.

Create your own structure with rows and multiple levels of sub-rows, add notes, duplicate and rearrange items, and adjust your numbers whenever your plans change. Unlike a traditional fixed spreadsheet, the calculations are already built in.

ESIO is focused on liquidity: when you enter income or an expense, you can immediately see its expected effect on your cash flow.

*No accounting integration required.*

VAT and tax
planning

VAT and tax payments can create major cash-flow problems when the money has already been spent.

ESIO's Tax Helper gives you a separate view of your projected VAT based on your budget and selected VAT frequency.

For sole proprietorships and I/S businesses, you can also estimate potential income tax and include the expected withdrawal in your financial planning.

So instead of simply seeing money in the bank, you can plan for the money your business may need later.

Accounting integrations
and reporting

Connect Dinero or e-conomic and bring your actual accounting data into ESIO.

View your P&L and balance sheet across 12 months or switch to a quarterly view. Choose between month-end balances and monthly account movements, explore graphs and drill down from an account to the underlying accounting entries in a read-only view. Need to share the numbers? Export your reports to Excel or PDF.

And when it is time to create a budget, you don't have to start again manually. Copy your chart of accounts, previous actuals or individual accounts directly into your budget.

Variance analysis

A budget becomes much more useful when you can compare it.

ESIO lets you compare:

1) Budget with budget,
2) Budget with actual results,
3) Actual results with another period's actual results.

See variances clearly with colour coding and graphs, then drill down to individual accounts when you want to understand where the difference came from.

Use different budgets for different scenarios and see how your plans compare before making a decision.
