MCA Tracker
FundingTracker is an MCA tracker for merchants, brokers, and advisors who need one place to monitor active merchant cash advances, daily ACH debits, remaining RTR, payoff timing, documents, and stacked-position risk.
An MCA tracker should show every active advance, the purchased amount or RTR, factor rate, expected debit cadence, actual bank debits, amount paid, remaining balance, payoff estimate, renewal context, and documents. FundingTracker gives operators a merchant-owned view instead of forcing them to rebuild the story across funder portals, bank statements, spreadsheets, and email threads.
- Track active MCAs, total payback, paid-to-date, and remaining RTR in one view.
- Compare expected daily ACH against real bank debits to spot missing, duplicate, or changed payments.
- Monitor stacked advances and total cash-flow pressure before accepting another offer.
- Keep contracts, payoff letters, renewal offers, disputes, and notes tied to each position.
What an MCA tracker should show
The highest-value MCA tracker pages answer one operational question quickly: what is active, what is being debited, what remains, and what needs attention before cash flow gets squeezed.
Track daily ACH before it surprises cash flow
Daily ACH is where MCA stress shows up first. An MCA tracker should compare scheduled debits with actual bank activity so the merchant can see changed amounts, skipped days, double pulls, late postings, and payment descriptors that do not match an active position.
FundingTracker keeps expected payments close to the contract and actual transactions close to the bank record. That gives the business a practical control layer before payroll, rent, taxes, or another renewal conversation.
- Expected payment amount by funder and position.
- Actual debit amount and debit date from bank activity.
- Mismatch flags for missing, duplicate, or unusual withdrawals.
- Notes and evidence tied to the position that caused the issue.
Keep remaining RTR separate from funded amount
MCA tracking gets messy when funded amount, purchased amount, total payback, and remaining RTR are treated as the same number. They are not. A tracker should start from the contract's purchased amount or total payback, then subtract cleared payments that actually count toward payback.
That distinction matters when a merchant is comparing a payoff letter, a renewal offer, or a consolidation quote. If the tracker uses the wrong starting balance, every payoff estimate downstream can look cleaner than reality.
See stacked advances as one operating picture
A single funder portal can make one position look manageable. The business problem is the combined stack: multiple funders, overlapping debit days, different payment cadences, and renewal pressure arriving before older positions are finished.
FundingTracker brings those positions into one MCA tracker so merchants and advisors can see total daily ACH exposure, remaining balances by funder, payoff sequence, and the cash-flow effect of taking another offer.
Use payoff estimates as a signal, not a substitute
An MCA tracker can estimate payoff timing from remaining RTR and payment cadence, but formal payoff letters still control important decisions. The point is to know when to request one, when a quote looks stale, and when a number does not match cleared activity.
That makes the tracker useful before a refinance, consolidation, renewal, settlement conversation, or dispute because the team has the contract terms, payment history, and documents in one place.
MCA tracker checklist
- Enter every active merchant cash advance, including renewals and consolidated positions.
- Record funded amount, purchased amount, factor rate, payment cadence, and expected debit.
- Connect or import bank activity so expected payments can be compared with actual debits.
- Track remaining RTR and payoff timing separately from the original funded amount.
- Flag double pulls, over-debits, missing debits, changed debit amounts, and returned payments.
- Store contracts, payoff quotes, renewal offers, balance confirmations, and dispute notes.
- Review total daily ACH exposure before accepting another MCA or term-loan offer.
- Export clean payment and balance history for advisors, brokers, accountants, or funders.
