What Calxa is
Calxa is a browser-based tool for automating budgeting, cash flow forecasting, KPI reporting, and group consolidations for businesses, not-for-profits, and accountants. Users can import budgets from accounting systems or spreadsheets, build budgets with formulas, and manage multiple versions. More than 150 report templates can be customised and combined into scheduled report bundles. Forecasting includes cash flow and three-way forecasts using balance sheet and profit and loss budgets. Calxa connects directly to Xero, QuickBooks Online, and MYOB, with ERP integrations for MYOB Acumatica, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and Microsoft Business Central. It does not work with locally stored accounting files or desktop accounting versions; Calxa Unplugged supports manual imports for bespoke systems. The 30-day trial requires no credit card and can use demo or connected accounting data. Premier1 costs $18 a month for one organisation and unlimited users. Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance, carry no long-term contract, and can be cancelled before the next month's charge.
