Cash forecast

See what retention cash is due and expected each month, plus what’s owed now and what’s overdue, across every job.

Your accounting system can tell you how much retention you’re owed. It can’t tell you when that money will turn into cash, because the timing depends on practical completion, defects periods and final completion. retainr tracks all three.

Cash forecast: when your retention lands

retainr projects every retention release by month, using the milestone dates from each contract, split in two:

• Due: the release has been triggered and the date is firm
• Expected: forecast from the job’s planned practical or final completion date

As dates change, the forecast updates. Plan cash flow and facility headroom knowing which releases are firm and which are estimates.

Calendar: the month at a glance

The calendar shows every retention release falling in a month, alongside the practical completion, defects period and final completion dates that drive it. Each month shows its total due and expected cash, so you can see what’s landing without opening a report.

Aged retention: what’s owed now

• Retention owed by job and client
• Aged by how long each release has been overdue

The 60-days-plus column is your risk list: money you’ve earned that should already be in your account.

Built for the people who manage the cash

retainr was built by a construction CFO who got tired of tracking retention in spreadsheets. The reports answer the questions directors and financiers actually ask: When is the cash coming? What’s stuck? Who owes us?

No month-end spreadsheet to build. The numbers are already there.
