You have to start somewhere, and we use Cashflow planning to help you understand your current financial situation and then how your income and expenditure may change both in the short term and into the future. It can help you identify where you may have a shortfall in your finances as well as helping you set financial goals that are achievable.
Cashflow Planning
Cashflow planning is for everyone – from simple monthly forecasts to complex yearly predictions – it can help you to make accurate and informed financial decisions going forward. The cashflow planning allows you to simulate how your financial situation could change should an unexpected event happen, such as a stock market crash.
As with a weather forecast, which as Britons we avidly watch but never rely on, financial forecasts that are created using cashflow planning are not set in stone and only give an idea as to what could happen in the future, so should be reviewed regularly.
How can it help me?
Cashflow planning can provide you with a visual forecast of your finances, better informing you prior to making any big decisions without bombarding you with figures. Whether it be changing jobs, taking a sabbatical or early retirement, you can use cashflow planning to assess the financial implications of this decision before you make it.
Cashflow planning software allows you to see your finances laid out in front of you and then make changes so you can visualise and understand their impact. With the assistance of Forward Plan, you can then decide on the best route to take without the pressure of having to stick to one particular decision.
Cashflow planning is an ongoing, interactive process. We will involve you in the creation and ongoing development of your financial forecast rather than just talk you through the results, and help you to understand how your goal can be met. Ongoing reviews also help you to keep on track with your financial goals, reducing the chances of any unwanted surprises down the line.
It will help you see whether you can afford to retire early, take that once-in-a-lifetime holiday, help the children with their education, purchase a house in the country or tick that next adventure off your bucket list.
At Forward Plan we use CashCalc to provide you with a closer look at your current financial situation and potential financial future. We use the cashflow planning tool to demonstrate what could potentially happen when you make a particular decision.
By inputting information such as savings, income, expenses and retirement age into the cashflow planning tool, you can begin to understand how your goals can become a reality.
