Budgeting & forecasting
Build a tangible financial plan around the decisions in front of the business—from short-range liquidity and an annual operating budget to an integrated forecast and defined rolling updates.
Forward visibility
“Make the assumptions visible before the decision becomes a commitment.”
Four defined products
The right product depends on the horizon, financial complexity and how the output will be used. Each starting fee assumes a proportionate, clearly defined scope.
An operational short-range liquidity model built around expected receipts and payments.
A monthly-phased plan that translates commercial assumptions into an accountable financial baseline.
A connected model showing how performance, working capital and financing assumptions move through the financial statements.
A defined update rhythm for an existing model that is suitable for efficient ongoing maintenance.
Prices are starting points. Final fees depend on scope, volume and complexity. Integrated models may include P&L, balance sheet and cash. Rolling updates assume a suitable existing model and a sufficiently defined update process.
13-week cash flow
A 13-week forecast focuses on when usable cash is expected to arrive and when payroll, suppliers, debt and other commitments are expected to be paid. It can include VAT, PAYE and other tax payment assumptions supplied by the business or its tax adviser.
Scalehouse does not provide tax advice through the forecast. The model makes supplied assumptions and sensitivities visible so management can monitor liquidity and decide when action may be needed.
From assumptions to action
A good forecast is clear enough to challenge, connected enough to explain and proportionate enough to maintain.
Agree the time horizon, outputs, users and decisions the model needs to support.
Document revenue, margin, headcount, working-capital and financing assumptions with clear ownership.
Connect the model, reconcile the logic and test the scenarios or sensitivities that matter.
Establish the review rhythm and, where appropriate, a separately defined rolling update service.
Scope boundaries
The model structure follows the decisions, data and accountability in the business. Entity, division, department, headcount, working-capital and scenario detail are included where they materially improve the view.
