How is TreasuryFlow different from Float?

Float syncs with QuickBooks or Xero, so your cash position is only as current as your accounting entries. TreasuryFlow connects directly to your bank accounts via Plaid, so your cash position reflects transactions the moment they clear. TreasuryFlow also works as a native Microsoft Excel add-in, while Float is web-only.

Does Float connect directly to bank accounts?

No. Float reads from QuickBooks Online or Xero. If your accounting entries are 24–48 hours delayed, your Float forecast is equally delayed. TreasuryFlow pulls live bank feeds via Plaid with no accounting software intermediary required.

How much does Float cost vs TreasuryFlow?

Float pricing is revenue-based, starting around $31/month and climbing with your revenue, entities, and features. TreasuryFlow is $99/mo per company, unlimited banks and your whole team included. Native Excel add-in, AI treasury assistant, and daily morning digest email are included.

Does TreasuryFlow work inside Excel like Float?

TreasuryFlow offers a native Microsoft Excel Add-in that appears as a task pane inside your existing workbooks. Float does not have an Excel add-in; it is web-only. For finance teams that work primarily in Excel, TreasuryFlow fits into existing workflows without requiring a browser tab switch.

Which is better for a $1M–$50M company: Float or TreasuryFlow?

For companies in the $1M–$50M revenue range managing multiple bank accounts, TreasuryFlow is the stronger choice. Float is optimized for small businesses that rely on a single QuickBooks connection. TreasuryFlow's direct bank feeds, 13-week AI forecast, and Excel-native delivery address the needs of controllers and CFOs at mid-market companies.

Why finance teams switch from Float

Real bank data, not stale accounting data

Float only sees what your accounting software knows. TreasuryFlow connects directly to your bank accounts via Plaid, giving you real-time balances and transactions, not data that’s hours or days behind.

AI that understands your cash flow

TreasuryFlow’s Gemini-powered AI automatically categorizes transactions, detects anomalies, and answers questions about your cash position in plain English. Float offers no AI capabilities.

Works inside the Excel you already use

No more switching between tabs. TreasuryFlow ships a native Excel Add-in that pulls live bank data into your existing spreadsheets.

One price, no surprises

$99/mo per company: the AI assistant, accountant team access, and Excel + web portal are all included (Google Sheets add-on in early access), with unlimited banks and no per-seat fees. Add a company, add $99; remove one, stop paying for it.

QuickBooks bidirectional sync

Float reads your QBO data. TreasuryFlow reads and writes: create invoices, push journal entries, and reconcile directly from the dashboard.

Enterprise reporting at SMB pricing

P&L statements, AR aging, vendor analytics, cash health scoring, and daily digest emails: capabilities you’d normally need a $24K/yr platform to access.
