How much does Budgeting & Financial Forecasting cost?

Budgeting & Financial Forecasting is quoted according to the agreed scope, including the number of entities and departments, model depth and forecast-update frequency. You receive a written quotation before work begins. The service is also included within the Financial Planning & Advisory and Virtual CFO offerings, subject to each plan's scope. Prices exclude GST.

What is a rolling forecast?

A rolling forecast is a financial projection that is reviewed and updated periodically as new information becomes available. Rather than relying only on a budget prepared once a year, it helps management revisit assumptions and extend the planning horizon. The update frequency and deliverables depend on the agreed engagement.

How is pricing set for budgeting work?

Pricing depends on the business structure, number of entities and departments, required model detail, available historical data, scenario requirements and how frequently forecasts need updating. We discuss these requirements during the discovery consultation and provide a written quotation before work starts.

Can you build a three-statement forecast?

An integrated three-statement forecast can be discussed where the engagement requires projected profit and loss, balance sheet and cash-flow statements. The model depends on the availability and quality of historical financial information, documented assumptions and the agreed scope. The required outputs and modelling boundaries are confirmed before work begins.

Will the forecast be accurate?

A forecast is an estimate based on assumptions and information available at the time it is prepared. Actual results may differ as sales, costs, collections, market conditions and business decisions change. We focus on making assumptions explicit, documenting scenarios and supporting agreed updates. We do not guarantee that projected results will match actual performance.

Budget made once, ignored after

The challenge

A budget can quickly become outdated as costs, sales and operating conditions change.

How we help

Rolling forecasts updated monthly or quarterly, according to the agreed engagement scope.

Explore three possible scenarios

One plan. Three ways to prepare.

Explore how different assumptions can create different planning scenarios. This illustrative model demonstrates the concept; it does not predict your business's actual results.

Revenue assumption0% Illustrative range −20% to +20%. Operating cost assumption0% Illustrative range −10% to +20%. Collection timing Faster collections Unchanged collections Slower collections Reset Conservative

Explore a more cautious planning position and consider how cost pressure or slower collections may affect the plan.

Base

Use the central set of assumptions as the reference point for budget and forecast reviews.

Optimistic

Explore a more favourable set of assumptions while making the underlying expectations visible.

Your scenario assumptions

Revenue assumption: 0%
Operating-cost assumption: 0%
Collection timing: Unchanged collections

Main changes from the starting position: Revenue as in the starting position; Operating costs as in the starting position; Cash receipts arrive as usual; The gap between revenue and costs is unchanged.

An illustrative concept, shown as relative direction only — no rupee amounts, profits or balances are calculated, and it does not predict your business's results.
