Every tool built around irregular income
A closer look at how Fenstanton forecasts, allocates, and protects capital for freelancers and independent consultants — without forcing fixed budgets onto variable earnings.
Built for the rhythm of project-based work
Each feature addresses a specific pressure point of variable income: knowing what's safe to spend, what to set aside, and when to act.
Dynamic Income Forecasting
Projects incoming cash flow across weeks and months using your historical invoicing pattern, flagging quiet periods before they become a cash squeeze.
Adaptive Allocation Engine
Automatically splits each incoming payment across tax reserves, operating buffer, and discretionary spend based on rules you set — no manual recalculating.
Buffer Threshold Alerts
Notifies you when your safety buffer drifts below a level you define, so reserves are addressed early rather than discovered during a slow month.
Scenario Modelling
Run "what if" comparisons — a delayed invoice, a new retainer, a larger tax bill — and see the effect on your buffer before it happens.
Tax Set-Aside Tracking
Keeps a running, visible estimate of tax liability tied to actual income received, reducing the chance of under-reserving across the year.
Single-View Dashboard
Consolidates allocation status, buffer health, and upcoming obligations into one screen, replacing scattered spreadsheets and manual notes.
Features tied to outcomes, not novelty
Fewer reactive decisions
Forecasting and alerts surface problems early, so adjustments happen with weeks of notice instead of during a cash shortfall.
Less manual admin
Allocation runs automatically against each payment, removing the need to recalculate splits by hand every time income arrives.
Clearer sense of "safe to spend"
A consolidated view of buffer, tax, and discretionary funds replaces guesswork with a single, current number.
Designed as a connected system, not separate tools
Forecasting feeds the allocation engine, the allocation engine informs buffer alerts, and buffer alerts drive what scenario modelling tests next. Each feature exists to support the others, rather than operating as an isolated add-on.
The result is a workflow that updates itself as new income and expenses arrive, keeping the picture current without requiring you to reconcile manually.
One consistent logic across every feature
Every tool in Fenstanton draws from the same income and obligation data, so recommendations stay aligned instead of contradicting each other across different screens.
