Strategic Focus looks at the budget in broad terms as apposed to Visual Cash Focus which micro manages budgets and forecasts. For example from a strategic management perspective a monthly budget with one revenue entry encompassing all revenues is likely whereas from a cash flow management perspective as in Visual Cash Focus shorter budget periods and greater account detail is essential.

Strategic Focus can compare performance of actuals vs budget from short term plans ie a plan on a monthly quarterly or annual basis with full reporting ability. Monthly cash flows, flowcharts and graphs for monthly analysis are available.
