Budgeting & financial planning
Integrated financial planning in which the right choices are made increases the predictability of your financial future.
In our rapidly changing world, financial budgeting and scenario planning are important. They help companies to imagine different future opportunities and understand what they could mean.
In addition, we prepare forecasts for turnover, gross margin and EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) and take into account various (external and internal) variables that can influence the company's financial health. By modeling scenarios, a company can develop a number of proactive strategies that enable it to remain flexible and resilient if market conditions suddenly change.
A crucial part of financial planning is cash flow and liquidity planning, which is also closely linked to the projection of required working capital in the near future. An accurate cash flow forecast helps ensure sufficient cash flow to meet current liabilities. By forecasting future cash inflows and outflows, companies can better plan for investments, debt repayments, and other critical financial decisions.
Finally, well-founded planning for capital investments is vitally important for a healthy company. This planning includes assessing future investment needs and aligning them with the organization's strategic goals. By planning ahead which capital assets will be needed when, companies can ensure they have the necessary resources to invest in new technologies, facilities and other assets that are critical to growth and innovation, while maintaining financial stability.
