What the work covers
Connect the accounts to cash planning, business drivers and decision scenarios so management can see the assumptions behind each recommendation.
Deliverables to agree
- Baseline financial review and decision questions
- Cash forecast with documented assumptions
- Scenario comparison for the agreed decision
- Action list with owners and review cadence
What to have ready
- Recent management accounts and bank balances
- Customer collections and supplier payment schedules

Timing and fees
Agree the decision to support before building a model. Forecast accuracy depends on source data and assumptions; update the model as actual results and plans change.
Your proposal should identify responsibilities, deliverables, fees and exclusions before the engagement begins.
Before you get started
What makes a cash forecast useful?
Separate expected receipts and payments by timing, identify uncertain items and compare actual cash with the forecast regularly.
Can this guarantee a financial outcome?
No. Scenarios help evaluate assumptions and trade-offs; business results remain uncertain.
What happens after the report?
Assign actions, owners and review dates. Revisit the model when collections, costs or plans differ materially from assumptions.
