Daymark
For owner-run businesses

Know what your year actually ends at.

Upload the invoices you have already sent and the expenses you have already paid. Get a rolling forecast, a month-by-month cash line, and a straight answer on what you can safely pay yourself — without building another spreadsheet you will stop updating in March.

$197 one-time setup, then $9 a month. Nothing charged for 14 days. A card is needed to start the trial; cancel before day 14 and nothing is taken.

An example workspace, not a real one. These four figures update every time you change an assumption.

What it does

Seven screens, each answering one question

Not a reporting tool that tells you what already happened. Daymark takes what has happened so far this year and carries it forward, so every number on screen is either an actual or a forecast you can trace to an assumption you set.

Pulse

Where does the year land?

Year-end revenue against your plan, operating profit and margin, the safe monthly draw, and how the season is shaping up month by month.

Cash by month

Will the bank account survive?

A balance line for every month across the whole horizon, the lowest point and when it happens, and a warning whenever a month breaks the cash floor you set.

Revenue

Am I ahead or behind?

Set how many months are closed. Everything up to there is actual; everything after is forecast — from last year, from your plan, or from a rate you choose.

Cost drivers

What actually scales with sales?

Every cost sorted into fixed and variable. Getting that split right is what makes the forecast and the break-even mean anything, so the app asks for it explicitly.

Inventory

What does the equipment cost me?

Log purchases and get straight-line depreciation on the half-year convention, an annual replacement budget, and the cash hit in the month it lands.

Outlook

What about the next few years?

A year-by-year profit and loss over a horizon you set between 3 and 10 years, with its own growth rate for each forecast year rather than one blanket number.

Data and access

Who can see it, and can I leave?

Invite your accountant or your partner as owner, editor or viewer. Export everything as JSON at any time, including after cancelling, and delete the workspace when you want.

How it works

An afternoon to set up, a few minutes a month after that

No bank connection, no bookkeeping migration, no chart of accounts to rebuild. You keep doing the books wherever you do them now.

01

Export two CSVs

An invoice list and either a profit-and-loss summary or a transaction list — the ordinary exports from QuickBooks, Xero, Wave or a spreadsheet. Commas, semicolons, tabs and Excel byte-order marks are all handled.

02

Confirm the columns

Daymark proposes which column is the date, the amount, the account, and shows you exactly what the import would do before it does it. Nothing is committed until you say so.

03

Set your assumptions

Cash floor, what you draw, growth per year, planned equipment. From then on you close each month and the model rolls forward with the calendar on its own.

Where AI is used, and where it is not
When a file's columns are not obvious, its header row and first 20 rows go to Anthropic to suggest which column is which. That is the whole of it: the model maps columns, and code does every piece of arithmetic. No figure is ever calculated by a language model, and the full file is never sent.
Who it is for

Small businesses that have outgrown the spreadsheet

Daymark was built for a real business first — a rental company with seasons, equipment and one owner deciding what to pay themselves — and then generalised. It suits any business shaped roughly like that, in any industry.

A good fit if
  • You run the business and also decide what it can afford — no CFO to ask.
  • Revenue is seasonal, or lumpy enough that an annual average tells you nothing.
  • Your books are current in accounting software, but your forecast is a spreadsheet nobody trusts.
  • You buy equipment or vehicles and need depreciation and the cash hit handled properly.
  • You want to know the largest draw you can take without the bank going below a floor.
  • An accountant, bookkeeper or business partner needs to see the same numbers you do.
Not the right tool if
  • You need bookkeeping, invoicing or payroll — Daymark reads their exports, it does not replace them.
  • You want a live bank feed. Imports are deliberate and on your schedule, not continuous sync.
  • You need per-project or per-job costing, or inventory counted unit by unit.
  • You are consolidating several entities, or modelling a cap table and funding rounds.
  • Nothing has happened yet. The forecast is built from actuals, so a pre-revenue idea has nothing to carry forward.
Pricing

One price, everything included

No tiers, no per-seat charge, and no feature held back for a plan above yours. There is one product and this is what it costs.

Setup, once
$197

A one-time charge for opening the account, billed with your first month rather than up front. No separate service is attached to it — you import your own figures and set your own assumptions. Charged once, never again.

Then, monthly
$9
per month, USD
  • Every screen in the product, from day one.
  • Every teammate you invite. No per-seat charge, no seat limit.
  • Unlimited imports and as many revisions of the model as you like.
  • A 14-day trial with nothing charged, and no charge at all if you cancel inside it.
  • Export of everything you hold, at any time, including after you cancel.
What gets charged, and when
Billing schedule for a trial started today, in USD
WhenWhat happensCharged
Day 0Card collected, full access. Nothing is charged.$0
Day 10An email saying the trial ends in 4 days.
Day 14The $197 setup fee and your first month, billed together.$206
Day 44The monthly price, and every month after that.$9

The setup fee is charged once, on that first invoice, and never again. Card details are held by Stripe and never reach our servers. The full terms are in the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy.

If you cancel

Cancel inside the trial and nothing is taken at all. Cancel later and you keep access to the end of the month you have paid for, after which the workspace becomes read-only. Your figures stay, and the export keeps working.

If a payment fails

You keep working for 7 days while Stripe retries the card. An expired card is a billing hiccup, not a decision to leave, and it should not lock you out of your own numbers on the first decline.

Questions

The things worth asking first

What does the setup fee get me?
Nothing separate, and it would be easy to pretend otherwise. The $197 is a one-time charge for opening the account, taken on your first invoice alongside the first month. It is not a deposit, not a credit against future months, and it does not buy an onboarding call — you import your own figures and set your own assumptions. It is charged once and never again.
Do I need a card to start the trial?
Yes, and nothing is charged for 14 days. We ask up front because a trial that ends in a dead account helps nobody — but you will get an email 4 days before the first charge, and cancelling before then costs nothing.
Does this replace my accounting software?
No, and it is not trying to. Daymark reads the exports your accounting software already produces and turns them into a forward-looking model. Keep invoicing, reconciling and filing exactly where you do it now.
Can you read my financial data?
Yes. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, but it is a normal database and we can read it — that is what makes password reset, import parsing and actually helping you when something is wrong possible. What we hold ourselves to: no financial values in logs, least-privilege database access, and export and deletion that genuinely work.
What files can I import?
CSV exports: an invoice list for revenue, and either a profit-and-loss summary or a transaction list for costs. Delimiters are detected, Excel byte-order marks are stripped, and the account-name column a QuickBooks P&L leaves unnamed is handled. Uploaded files are read, turned into figures, and not kept.
Can my accountant or business partner get in?
Yes. Invite anyone to the workspace as owner, editor or viewer. Viewers can see everything and change nothing, which is usually what you want for an accountant mid-year.
How far ahead does it forecast?
Between 3 and 10 years, your choice, with its own growth rate for each forecast year. There is no hardcoded year anywhere — the model is anchored to a base year and offers to roll forward when the calendar passes it.
What currency does it work in?
Your figures can be kept in Canadian or US dollars. Billing is in USD either way.
What happens to my data if I leave?
Download the whole workspace as a single JSON file — the model, every assumption, who had access, and a record of what was imported. It is complete enough to rebuild the model somewhere else. Deleting the workspace removes it for good.
