How Forecasting and Budgeting Can Benefit Your Business

Financial Forecast

A financial forecast takes your business plan and assigns real numbers to it. You can project where your company is headed by using your financial statements, cash flow projections, operating costs, and financial ratios.

Budgeting Services

Using an actual budget comparison with a variance analysis, we can help you learn from your past and set clearer goals for your future.

Capital Formation Strategy

We evaluate your growth opportunities and identify pertinent sources of capital and develop a tailored capital formation strategy to help you achieve your business goals.

Risk Analysis and Management

By pinpointing and analyzing the risks facing your business, we can help you mitigate them so you can move forward with confidence.

How Cash Flow Forecasting Prevents Business Crises Before They Start

Your business needs cash flow forecasting to spot warning signs before they become major problems. Mowery & Schoenfeld’s assurance team helps you stay ahead of potential problems, including issues related to working capital management, liquidity planning, and your operating cash cycle. We identify cash flow challenges early and guide you to make smart changes before issues affect your business operations.

A cash flow review can spot many potential red flags in your business, like payroll shortfalls, delayed accounts receivable, inconsistent revenue, inventory management problems, and a lack of cash reserves.

Most business failures are tied to cash flow problems, making forecasting crucial for finding potential shortfalls well in advance. This gives leadership time to adjust spending, accelerate collections, or secure financing before crisis hits.

With our proactive approach, detailed analysis of your financial statements, and expert advisory, you can make informed decisions, avoid surprises, and keep your business financially healthy.

Industry-Specific Forecasting for Construction, Manufacturing, and Healthcare

Forecasting varies by industry, with construction, manufacturing, and healthcare having unique aspects. Each one has its own set of challenges that require more than just a standard approach. For example:

Construction contractors need forecasts that handle all sorts of things: project-based revenue, retainage, bonding capacity, and cycles for equipment use.
Manufacturing and distribution companies must keep a close eye on inventory turnover, supplier payment terms, seasonal demand, and how much they can produce.
Healthcare companies deal with shifting payer mixes, changing reimbursement rates, and regulatory costs that basic forecasts often miss entirely.

These nuances make it wise to engage advisors who understand your industry. Mowery & Schoenfeld has vast experience with clients in a wide variety of industries, offering forecasting help that goes beyond the basics. We assist with inventory forecasting, revenue cycle management, benchmarking, and setting KPIs tailored to your field. With our expertise, you’ll get insights and models that make sense for your business and help you stay on track toward your goals.
