Budgeting and Forecasting – Improving Your Cash Flow
As your company grows, budgeting and forecasting should become an ongoing activity.
Budgeting and forecasting grows directly out of the planning phase.
Your financial plan should:
- Obtain input from all areas of your organization including Finance, HR, Sales, Manufacturing and/or Service delivery.
- Identify those areas that may require adjustments in the budget and forecast.
- Prioritize objectives and ensure those priorities are revisited on a quarterly basis, allowing you to respond quickly to changes in the market.
Completing these documents gives you crucial information on your cash flow needs for both the short-term (weekly, monthly) and the long term (1 to 5 years). Knowing in advance what your cash requirements will be, allows you to develop a strategy to acquire additional capital as your business grows.
