Cashflow Forecasting

Cashflow Forecasting

Cash is the lifeblood of any business; even profitable businesses can fail because of poor cashflow.


Businesses should undertake an annual Cashflow Forecast to aid their planning and decision making. We want our clients to be proactive in managing their cashflow; not assuming they only need one if the bank asks for it. Having an annual Cashflow Forecast can help you unlock cash, just by making a few changes.

 
 

What is involved?
We'll draft your Cashflow Forecast using the information from your accounting software. We'll then send you the draft to review, along with some questions to make sure our assumptions are correct and to find out if we need to adjust the Cashflow Forecast for any changes you're aware of in the next 12 months.

We'll then meet with you to review the draft Cashflow Forecast and discuss seasonal fluctuations, material changes to last year's cashflow, any implications of staffing changes, significant one-off items, tax payments and timing, and capital expenditure. Following this meeting, we'll finalise your Cashflow Forecast in your accounting or reporting software. 



We recommend you create actual vs. forecast reports each month to track your progress and clarify areas that may present improvement opportunities. We can also help you with this.
