Financial Modelling

A budget is an essential tool and roadmap for your business.

A budget is the financial expression of your target for your business. It is where you want to go. Actual results are compared to this to ensure you are following the path to reach your targets. A forecast is your expectation of what will actually happen in due course based on what is happening in your business now. It is the financial radar of where you are actually going. The two, along with your monthly financial statements, and your accountant, work together to give you clarity on the profitability and cash flow of your business.

Good forecasting will give you the peace of mind that your business is on the right track and that there are plans in place to manage cash flow, improve profitability and grow the value of your business.
