Cashflow is the lifeblood of any small business. It really does not matter how well you think your business is doing; it simply will not survive if there is more cash going out than money coming in – whatever the reasons. Running out of money without realising it is the worst thing that can happen to a business. So looking ahead is crucial.

In simple terms, cash flow forecasting is about predicting future levels of cash to ensure your business has enough to survive. The result of a cashflow forecast is an estimated bank balance at the end of each period covered. When done effectively, cash flow forecasting can even work seasonally, meaning that you can plan for specific variations in cost depending on the time of year.

We can help you create realistic financial forecasts and budgets. Planning and forecasting are the keys to financial peace of mind, and at Atek, we know they are one of the main stepping stones to a successful business.

We can provide you with financial forecasting to suit your requirements, either in terms of managing your monthly cash flow forecast or perhaps preparing a 5-year plan for potential investors. Near the end of their financial year, many of our clients like us to help them put together a budget for the following year, either in aggregate or on a monthly or quarterly basis.

Budgeting can be an excellent way of making sure revenue milestones are achieved and costs are kept under control and in line with expectations.

We can help you put together a well-considered business plan, which will allow you to plan and formulate realistic and accurate forecasts. We will then use this information to create a financial model that will tie these financial projections to your cash flow statement and balance sheet.

For businesses looking to raise external investment, a good business plan is the key to demonstrating your commercial credibility.

We are organised so that our clients have direct access to their dedicated accountant and are also supported by the resources across the entire team.
