Forecasting and Target Setting, why bother?

A long-term, robust forecasting and target setting model gives you the insight needed to assess, run and grow your business. Crucially it also allows you to understand your key strategic drivers and commercial value. It will also help you obtain any funding you may need to accelerate growth.


By having your targeted forecasts you can then compare your actual business performance on either a monthly or quarterly basis to see your progress to achieving your goals. We challenge and help business owners to appraise their finance function and create a long-term, working forecasting model to monitor your progress.

Creating a financial forecasting model helps you improve cash flow planning. Cash is king in business so if you monitor cash you increase your chances of business success because you understand the projected financial performance of your business. Capturing insightful data in this way reduces the time spent on number crunching and frees up your time to spend on value-added profitable activity instead.


You will have a three-way integrated financial model that will give you the insights needed to achieve your KPIs. By then monitoring actual performance against your target and forecast you can make the changes required to reach your goal.
