The level of detail depends on your business size and complexity. Generally, we recommend department-level budgeting for medium businesses, with line-item details for key expense categories. For startups, we focus on high-level budgets with detailed cash flow projections. We tailor the approach to provide meaningful insights without overwhelming complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How detailed should our business budget be?
-
How often should we update our financial forecasts?We recommend monthly forecast updates for active monitoring, with quarterly comprehensive reviews. For rapidly growing businesses or those in volatile markets, bi-weekly cash flow updates may be necessary. Our dashboards make regular updates efficient, typically requiring just 2-4 hours per month once the system is established.
-
Can you help with rolling forecasts vs. annual budgets?Yes, we implement both approaches based on your needs. Annual budgets provide fixed targets, while rolling forecasts (typically 12-18 months ahead) offer more flexibility. Many clients benefit from a hybrid approach: annual budget for goal setting, with quarterly rolling forecasts for operational planning. We'll recommend the best approach for your business model.
-
How do you handle uncertainty in forecasting?We use three key strategies: 1) Multi-scenario planning (best/base/worst case), 2) Sensitivity analysis to identify which variables most impact outcomes, and 3) Range-based forecasts with confidence intervals. This approach acknowledges uncertainty while providing actionable guidance. We also build in contingency buffers for critical assumptions.
-
What software or tools do you use for budgeting?We work with your existing tools (Excel, QuickBooks, Xero) or recommend appropriate solutions based on your needs. For most SMEs, we build sophisticated Excel models with dashboard reporting. For larger businesses, we can implement specialized software like Adaptive Insights, Planful, or Pigment. Our focus is on practical, user-friendly solutions that your team will actually use.
