Founders fly blind on cash — until it's too late
Most teams track runway with a monthly spreadsheet refresh. By the time a burn spike shows up in a board deck, you've already lost weeks of reaction time. RunwayWatch keeps the number current so you always know where you stand.
Everything you need to track cash runway and burn rate
Built for founders, CFOs, and operators who need a fast, accurate read on cash.
Live runway & cash-zero date
Always know how many months of cash remain and the exact date your runway hits zero — calculated live from your QuickBooks bank and cash balances.
Gross & net burn rate
See both gross burn (total cash out) and net burn (cash out minus cash in) so you know the true rate your reserves are shrinking.
Burn trend & deterioration alerts
Month-over-month burn charts surface an accelerating spend before it becomes a crisis. Get email alerts when runway drops below your threshold or burn spikes unexpectedly.

Cash runway & burn rate — frequently asked questions
Is RunwayWatch read-only?
Yes. We request read-only access via Intuit OAuth 2.0 and never write a single entry to your QuickBooks. You can revoke access from your Intuit account at any time.
How is runway calculated?
Runway (months) = current cash balance ÷ net monthly burn. Cash balance is the sum of your bank and cash accounts on the latest balance sheet. Net burn is the trailing operating cash outflow averaged over your configured window (default 3 months).
What's the difference between gross and net burn rate?
Gross burn is all cash spent in a period — payroll, rent, vendors, everything. Net burn subtracts any revenue or cash inflows from that figure. Net burn is what actually shrinks your reserves; gross burn shows total operating cost. RunwayWatch shows both.
What is the cash-zero date?
The cash-zero date is the projected calendar date your cash balance reaches zero at the current net burn rate. It's a straight projection — it does not account for fundraising or future revenue changes unless you model those in the scenario planner.
