Budget Development & Review
A good budget isn’t just cost control—it’s your operating plan. We design a data‑driven budget, roll it forward as a forecast, and run monthly reviews so you can see what’s working, what’s not, and what to do next.
Our budget lifecycle (aligned to your old process):
- Preparing the Budget
- Use prior results and current goals to build department, operational, and company‑level budgets. - Budget Approval
- Package the plan for owners/boards; ensure it fits regulatory and internal requirements. - Budget Execution
- Track actuals, monitor controls, and keep teams accountable to targets. - Budget Review & Audit
- Analyze results at year‑end (and monthly), capture lessons, and refine next year’s plan.
What we deliver:
- Annual operating budget (revenues, COGS, expenses, payroll, capex)
- Rolling 12‑month forecast tied to actuals
- Cash‑flow plan (weekly or monthly)
- Department/class/location budgets (as needed)
- KPI dashboard and target setting
- Monthly budget vs actuals packet with variance notes and action items
Process & timeline:
- Week 1–2: Discovery, drivers, assumptions, draft model
- Week 3–4: Review, revisions, approval, reporting pack
- Ongoing: Monthly close + BvA review; quarterly reforecast and scenarios (best/base/worst)
Reporting & tools:
- QuickBooks Online + Excel/Sheets; optional BI dashboards
- Board‑ready financials and KPI snapshots
- Secure document exchange via client portal
