What is cashflow forecasting?

Warren Buffet once observed that “An idiot with a plan can beat a genius without a plan”. A financial forecast is just that: a quantified plan for your business. It is an essential tool in helping you grow your business. Many businesses that have excellent products or services still fail due to cash shortfall and inaccurate planning. Cashflow forecasts and management accounts can help to identify any likely cash surpluses which might signal opportunities to invest or expand. They may also identify potential weaknesses such as how long it takes for your debtors to pay.

Budgeting vs forecasting

Budgeting creates a baseline to compare your company’s actual results against, establishing how much the results vary from expected performance. Financial forecasting, on the other hand, is used as a tool to determine how your company should allocate its budget for forthcoming financial periods. Unlike budgeting it does not analyse variances between forecast and actual results.

Financial forecasting:

  • Is typically used to determine how companies should allocate their budgets for forthcoming periods
  • Can be created for both short-term and long term periods
  • Should be regularly updated, perhaps monthly or quarterly, in order to stay accurate
  • Can be used to help the management to adjust production and inventory levels
