FOR FOUNDER-LED BUSINESSES

 13-Week Cash Flow Forecast for Founders

A decision-making tool built on your actual numbers, so you know your runway, your risks and your next move. Yours to keep, update and share.

What you get: a decision-making tool, not a report

• Built from your real data: your bank, receivables, payables, payroll and commitments, not a template with placeholder numbers.
• A model you can take over: a clearly organised Excel model with inputs on one sheet, a scenario switch and a short guide, so you or your finance lead can update it each week. No ongoing dependence on me.
• Built around your decisions: can we afford this hire? What if our biggest customer pays six weeks late? How much runway if revenue drops 15%? Test any of them in minutes.
• Share it as you see fit: with your team, investors or board. It includes a one-page summary designed to be read without explanation.
• Three scenarios and a findings summary: base, upside and downside, plus where cash is at risk and your top actions for the next 30 days.
• A 60-minute walkthrough and a 30-day check-in, so it keeps working once real numbers start coming in.
• Fully yours: no licence, no subscription, no lock-in.

What this is not

This is financial forecasting & advisory, not tax, accounting, audit or legal advice. If your situation needs any of those, I’ll point you to the right specialist.

FAQ

• Do I need clean books? No, but I need access to reasonably current bank and ledger data. We’ll check on the scoping call.
• Can I update it myself? Yes. It comes with a one-page guide for the weekly update.
• What format is it? Excel. An interactive dashboard version is available on request and quoted separately.
• What if I need ongoing help? Many clients move to a monthly fractional CFO arrangement. That’s optional, with no obligation.
• Is my data confidential? Yes. I’m happy to sign an NDA before you share anything.
