Financial Planning & Forecasting

Clarity today, confidence tomorrow. One-page projections + budgets + “what-if” scenarios show the impact of decisions on cash flow, funding and personal wealth—then we keep plans current through the annual cycle.

Projection Modelling

We develop concise, single-page financial projections to illustrate anticipated cash flow, profitability, and strategic outcomes. These projection models enable you to plan with clarity and adapt confidently to evolving business conditions. The result: greater transparency today leads to stronger decision-making for tomorrow.

How it works

Create clear one-page life projections for the business, integrating personal and business finances. (revenue, gross margin, opex, cash, capex) → scenario variants → trigger-based action plan.
Test stress scenarios (e.g., sales drop, cost increases, or expansion funding). Base/bear/bull cases, covenant headroom tracking, early-warning KPIs.
Review and update in accountability cycles to ensure relevance.

Client stories

Strategic Planning & Management

We work with you to align your business objectives with tailored financial strategies that support growth, sustainability, and personal achievement. Our advisers serve as strategic partners, guiding you in making informed decisions throughout every stage of your business journey.

Achieving success in business goes beyond generating profit—it means transforming your efforts into lasting value. Through our Strategic Business Financial Planning service, we connect your personal ambitions with the financial direction of your business, ensuring every step supports both your long-term goals and day-to-day operations.

How it works

Starts with a Business Valuation & Gap Analysis — we benchmark your business against the industry and identify the “value gap. Valuation & gap analysis → annual budget (P&L + cash flow) → quarterly accountability meetings (KPI, risks, governance) → action plan in our accountability app → annual revaluation to quantify uplift.
We run an annual budget session (profit & loss + cash flow) to set the baseline.
Regular accountability meetings (4–12 times per year) keep you on track: reviewing forecasts, KPIs, governance, and risk.
Every cycle finishes with a Business Revaluation, quantifying the improvement you’ve made.
Risk-mitigation: downside scenarios on margin compression, key-person risk, and working-capital shocks; liquidity buffers and contingency lines; role/authority maps.
