Budgeting and Financial Forecasting
Do you know the differences between budgeting and financial forecasting? Do you know their benefits of utilizing and detriments of not? Do you know how to prepare a budget or financial forecast, and if so, do you know how to properly read and implement strategies based on such information?
Budgeting and financial forecasting are tools that an owner uses in establishing a plan for where they want to take the business (budgeting) and whether it is headed in that direction (financial forecasting). Budgeting quantifies the expectation of revenues and expenses that a business wants to achieve for a future period, whereas financial forecasting estimates the amount of revenues and expenses that will be achieved in a future period.
Prepared on an annual basis (or shorter depending on your specific needs), budgeting creates a baseline for comparing actual results to that of the expected performance. Our budgeting services include:
- Estimates of revenue and expenses
- Expected cash flows
- Expected debt reduction, and
- Comparison to actual results to calculate the variance
Financial forecasting estimates a company’s future financial outcomes by examining historical data thus allowing management to anticipate results based on previous financial data. Our financial forecasting services will allow you to:
- Determine how your business should allocate its budgets for a future period.
- Regularly update (i.e. monthly or quarterly) for when there is a change in operations.
- Look at both the short-term and long-term.
- Use financial forecasting and take immediate action based on the forecasted data.
