Financial Forecasting
Most forecasts are spreadsheet fiction — built on assumptions, disconnected from actual transactions, and stale by month two. Ours are driver-based models wired directly to your live books, rebuilt each month so you always know where you're headed and what levers to pull.
Why our forecasting is different
Most business forecasts are a copy of last year with a growth percentage pasted on top. Ours are built from the actual drivers of your business and reconciled to real transactions every month.
We model the inputs that actually move your numbers — units sold, headcount, churn rate, average ticket — not a top-down percentage lift. When a driver changes, the whole model updates.
Base, upside, and downside scenarios built in from day one. Toggle a hiring decision, a price change, or a revenue slowdown and instantly see the cash impact — before you commit.
The forecast isn't a separate file that drifts from reality. It's reconciled to your actual P&L and balance sheet each month, so variance is caught immediately, not at quarter-end.
Profit is an opinion; cash is a fact. Every model we build starts with the 13-week cash view, so you always know your runway — not just your EBITDA.
What's included
Every engagement includes the full forecasting stack. Not a dashboard product — a working model maintained by a human CFO team, rebuilt around your actual business.
The cash truth
Accrual accounting shows revenue when earned, not when collected. A growing business can show profit on paper and still miss payroll. We build the cash view alongside the P&L — so you see both the income and the timing.
What you get
Not a software subscription. A maintained, living model and a CFO team who updates it — and explains it — every month.
A driver-based financial model rebuilt from your actual books each month — not a static file handed over and forgotten.
Actuals vs. forecast with written commentary on every material variance. You know not just what changed — but why.
Always-current 13-week cash forecast so you know your runway to the week, not the quarter.
Base, upside, and downside scenarios you can walk through live with your team — updated each month as conditions change.
A formatted monthly package ready to send to investors or board members — actuals, forecast, KPIs, and commentary.
Raise, hire, buy, or wait — we model each decision against current cash so you can make the call with numbers, not instinct.
