forecasting of various scenarios

The following are examples of forecasting questions that we can work with you to answer: Thinking of investing in a significant asset but are worried about the impact on your cash flows? Can you afford to finance an acquisition under various interest rate assumptions? How does raising prices impact earnings? What happens if you give employees a raise? Can you afford to lease a new facility? Will you run out of cash if the owners take a $1 million cash distribution, a $1.5 million cash distribution, or what about a $2.0 million…?

We collaborate with business owners to determine the key financial inputs to prepare a financial forecast model.
