Q: Is this software a good fit for a company that is not working with Quickbooks data or similar?
We should put our hands to add all data manually. In this scenario, it is still valuable for us to have a financial report of our expenses and incomes?
In that case, at this moment, it would not be the right fit for such a company. You would need a Quickbooks or Xero account to be able to get the automated financial reports from gini. However, you'll be happy to know that we are working on allowing users without Quickbooks or Xero to use gini. It is on our public roadmap (https://gini.notion.site/Public-Roadmap-761a52a8f0624ce19784cc832cdb5aec).
I would recommend you vote that feature by filling out the same Google Form (https://forms.gle/eesHSnW5AA5W6DpJA). Do remember, the more votes a feature gets, the higher priority we assign to it.

Thank you for your question. With gini, you would have to use the charts and formulas in our flows.
But if you would like to perform your own data manipulation, you could export a CSV of the transactions. Here's how to do that
1. Create a flow on gini, and then click "Open flow" 2. Once you access flow on the gini spreadsheet, please go to the tab "(company name) - A-AA". This tab has the raw transactional data. 3. Download that tab as a CSV file
And that's it; you can use that CSV file for your own data manipulation.
I hope I was able to answer your queries. Thanks for your interest in gini.
At this moment, if you do not have an accounting system, you cannot make use of our automated reports. You would need a Quickbooks or Xero account.

It is on our public roadmap (https://gini.notion.site/Public-Roadmap-761a52a8f0624ce19784cc832cdb5aec). And we are also creating a start-up financial model, which you can also see on the roadmap.

While there is no specific ROI calculator or projector, you can use our Cash Flow Forecast Model to create custom forecasts. We have dedicated cells on our forecast model for manual custom forecasts. All you have to do is input forecasted revenue, COGS, operating expenses, and working capital assumption. You will then see a forecast of your future cash balance, revenue growth, net income growth, and forecasted balance sheet breakdown based on your custom inputs.
In terms of scenario planning, we have a Headcount Planner, which you can use to see the impact your planned new headcount will have on your cash flow, as well as a Financing/Capital planner, which you can use to see the forecasted impact of taking on debt/equity financing or paying dividends will have on your cash flow.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have further questions.
For example to demonstrate 5 & 10-year TCO with multiple lines of investments, or building ROI models to substantiate investment in a subscription with numerous line items?
I sincerely apologize for the delay in our response. At the moment, gini is not helpful for SaaS sales. Our models are based on making a financial projection based on commonly used VC benchmark metrics.
Having said that, we'd be happy to jump on a call and learn more about your use case and requirements. If you're open to it, please email us at predict.help@gini.co, and we can set up a call with our product team.
