What is Clockwork?

An introduction to Clockwork and what it does for your business

What is Clockwork?

Clockwork is financial forecasting software that builds a 5-year financial model and a 52-week cash flow forecast automatically from QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, or an Excel import. Mira, your AI financial analyst, answers plain-English questions about your business from your live accounting data.

Clockwork is built for small and mid-sized businesses and the accounting professionals who advise them. You get a real-time view of your business performance, forecasts, cash flow projections, and Mira, all in one place.

Who is Clockwork for?

Clockwork is built for two types of users:

  • Business owners and operators who want to understand their financials, plan ahead, and make confident decisions without needing a finance background.

  • Accounting and bookkeeping firms who advise multiple business clients and want to deliver deeper financial insights at scale, without manual work.

What does Clockwork do?

Once connected to your accounting software, Clockwork automatically:

  • Builds your Financial Model: a historical and forecasted P&L, driven by AI analysis of your transactions

  • Generates your Cash Flow Forecast: a forward-looking view of your cash position, updated automatically as your data syncs

  • Calculates your Metrics: key business KPIs derived directly from your financials

  • Powers Mira, your AI financial analyst, who can answer questions, surface insights, and help you plan

From there, you can customize your forecast with your own assumptions, model different scenarios, plan headcount, build custom reports, and more.

How does data get into Clockwork?

Clockwork syncs QuickBooks Online and Xero automatically every night, so your models always reflect your latest financial data. QuickBooks Desktop connects through the Clockwork extractor, and Excel imports work when you are not yet on a connected accounting system.

Is my data secure?

Yes. Clockwork uses read-only access to your accounting data. We never write back to your accounting system. Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and is never shared with third parties.
