Budgeting, Forecasting & Cashflow.

Budgeting & Forecasting

Is your business performing in the top 25% of your industry, or has your profit increased but you have no cash? Are you comfortable with the amount of tax you are paying? Would you value having a business specialist review your financial performance and give you tools to help you make better business decisions?

Attend a meeting to provide an overview of your business including:

  • Business structure and key stakeholders

  • Tax arrangements

  • Key issues for next 12 months

  • Goals for next 12 months

  • You will be required to supply 12 months of financial information including sales, expenses, assets and liabilities

  • We will then prepare a budget and a 12 monthforecast

  • We will meet with you to review these documents and discuss the implications and any support that you may require

  • We will train you on inputting the forecast into your accounting software
