Test the months that matter

Annual profit can conceal the month in which wages, VAT and a loan instalment fall due before customers pay. We rebuild the forecast monthly, compare assumptions with trading history and test slower collections, lower sales or a cost increase relevant to the business.

The review covers a supplied 12- to 24-month forecast. It records the source of opening cash, separates committed orders from prospects and calculates debt-service headroom under agreed downside cases.

It does not certify future performance. Forecasts remain estimates, and our notes make uncertainty visible rather than smoothing it away.
