Forecasting, including cash flow and budgeting

Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business and cash flow failure is a key factor in many business failures.

Businesses that forecast their cash flow and future financial performance are much better equipped to deal rapidly with any unexpected hiccups than those that fail to plan ahead.

The better informed you are, the more able you are to reach the right decisions and while nobody knows exactly what the future holds, forecasting is a key tool that every business, of any size, can use to better monitor and manage its resources.

At MD Consulting, we’ll use our professional experience to provide you with valuable cash flow advice and forecasts for use either internally or for presentation to third parties such as banks or other lenders.

The process will deliver key information you can use to operate more effectively, By exploring both best and worst case scenarios, this will enable your business to prepare for  significant challenges – such as a major customer collapsing – but also to be ready for growth in more positive circumstances.

We can also assist you in monitoring performance against budgets, so that variations from expected income and expenditure can be quickly identified and investigated for any underlying issues, which can then be tackled before they result in more serious problems. By knowing exactly where you stand, you will also be in a much stronger position to ensure you stay on a sound financial footing.

As well as feeding into broader financial forecasting, ongoing budget monitoring and regular reviews will provide timely, up-to-date figures to assist business leaders in the decision-making and forward planning that will help to improve performance and profitability.
