FINANCIAL FORECASTS AND PROJECTIONS
To reach your goals, you must have an accurate vision of the future. You
must also be able to predict the financial impact of planned and unplanned
variables in your business. From simple projections to complex financial
models, we are here to answer your most critical financial questions.
Financial Forecasts are financial statements built to reflect what your
company’s financial standing will be in the future, given that all variables
stay on their normal or expected course of action.
Financial Projections are used to test one or more hypothetical situations
and present an entity’s expected financial position, results of operations,
and cash flows.
Depending on your objectives and needs, we provide several types of
financial forecasts and projections.
Cash Flow
A cash flow projects the amount of cash that will flow in and out of your
business, including where it goes and when it is received or spent. Our cash
flow forecasts typically cover the next 12 months, but the timeframe can
also be reduced or extended. We use cash flow projections to determine
when your cash flow will be positive and/or negative which can help you to
strategically schedule purchases, expenses, and the use of lines of credits, if
available.
Sales Forecast
A sales forecast or projection is used to estimate future sales. Accurately
forecasting your sales is a critical component of effectively managing your
resources, inventory, human capital, and cash flow. To create sales
forecasts for established companies, we heavily rely on historical data and
market conditions. For newer companies, we must also look at external
information, such as market research and economic trends.
