Financial Forecasting

Stop guessing. Start forecasting with your real books behind you.

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

Driver-based models, not spreadsheet guesswork.

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.

01

Driver-based, not assumption-based

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.

02

Scenario and sensitivity planning

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.

03

Wired to your real books

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.

04

Cash-first, not just P&L

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

Ten deliverables — one integrated model.

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.

13-week cash flow forecast
Week-by-week cash in and out, rolling forward every month. The single most important view for any operating business.
Annual budget
A full-year operating plan built from your drivers, not a spreadsheet template — with P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow integrated.
Rolling forecast
Updated each month as actuals come in. The budget doesn't go stale — it rolls forward so you're always planning against fresh data.
Scenario and sensitivity models
Base / upside / downside built in. Stress-test a revenue miss, an interest rate move, or a new hire before it happens.
Hiring plan and headcount model
Model every planned hire against revenue and cash — salaries, benefits, ramp time, and the break-even date for each seat.
CapEx and investment modeling
Model equipment purchases, buildouts, or technology investments with depreciation schedules and cash-payback analysis.
Fundraise and runway model
How long does cash last at current burn? What does the next round need to look like? Model it cleanly before your investor conversation.
Unit economics model
CAC, LTV, payback period, and gross margin per cohort — built from your actuals, not benchmarks.
Board-ready reporting package
A clean, formatted monthly deck with actuals vs. forecast, variance commentary, and KPIs your board actually reads.
KPI dashboards
Live dashboards tied to the model — track the metrics that matter to your business, not a generic template.

The cash truth

Your P&L can look fine while you run out of cash.

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

Six things every forecasting client receives.

Not a software subscription. A maintained, living model and a CFO team who updates it — and explains it — every month.

Model

A living model

A driver-based financial model rebuilt from your actual books each month — not a static file handed over and forgotten.

Reporting

Monthly variance analysis

Actuals vs. forecast with written commentary on every material variance. You know not just what changed — but why.

Cash

Cash runway view

Always-current 13-week cash forecast so you know your runway to the week, not the quarter.

Scenarios

Scenario toggles

Base, upside, and downside scenarios you can walk through live with your team — updated each month as conditions change.

Board

Board-ready deck

A formatted monthly package ready to send to investors or board members — actuals, forecast, KPIs, and commentary.

Decisions

Capital decisions support

Raise, hire, buy, or wait — we model each decision against current cash so you can make the call with numbers, not instinct.

What we actually run for you

Industries we build forecasting models for.

MRR cohort models, churn sensitivity, CAC payback, and runway — built around the metrics SaaS boards actually ask for.

Seasonal cash modeling, site-mix revenue forecasting, and capital planning for owners managing real estate and hospitality together.

Occupancy-driven revenue models, debt service schedules, renovation ROI, and distribution waterfall forecasting for operators and investors.

The problem

Marinas

Seasonal trough modeling, multi-line revenue forecasting across dockage, fuel, storage, and service — and capital planning before the next dock expansion.

How we work

From messy books to a model you trust.

We run a repeatable onboarding process so the first model is accurate — and every month after improves on the last.

Books review and clean-up
We start with your chart of accounts, historical P&L, and bank data. If there are clean-up items, we surface them before building — garbage in, garbage out.
Driver identification
We map the three to five metrics that actually drive your revenue and costs — units, headcount, churn, average ticket — and wire those into the model structure.
Model build and scenario calibration
First model delivered within two to three weeks. We walk you through every assumption, set base and scenario cases together, and connect it to your live books.
Monthly update and variance review
Each month: actuals pulled, model updated, variance explained, and a call to walk through the numbers before you share them with anyone.

The numbers we put in front of you

Run the business on forward-looking numbers, not last month's P&L.

The KPIs our forecasting clients track — and the benchmarks that separate well-run businesses from ones flying blind.
