Sage Financial Forecasting

Accurate business forecasting and budgeting are key to business growth and success in today's complex business environment. Sage Financial Forecasting software not only helps you and your business plan effectively for the future, but also gives you a powerful tool for managing the present with confidence. Forecasts allow businesses to identify any potential problems and take action to avert them, or to identify opportunities that can be exploited with a bit of astute planning. With Sage Financial Forecasting software you'll find it easier and quicker than ever to:

• Plan effectively and gain a wider view of your business
• Monitor your company's financial health on a weekly, monthly or annual basis - whichever suits you best
• Demonstrate total professionalism in the information you provide to your business partners, clients and bank
• Explore future growth opportunities and potential risks with advanced 'What if?' scenarios

Many companies simply don't do any forecasting at all, often because they feel that they don't have the time, the expertise or the right software for the job. Alternatively many businesses use spreadsheets to create their forecasts, but these are error prone - with up to 85% containing errors.

Sage Financial Forecasting advantages over spreadsheets

Sage Financial Forecasting enables you to create accurate financial forecasts for your business that can be as detailed as you need. Sage Financial Forecasting also handles all double entry and performs all complicated calculations such as those involved in factoring and provisions. Reports such as Profit and Loss, Cash Flow, Balance Sheet and Funds Flow are supplied as standard, and can be viewed at any time. It also enables you to investigate any number of "What if?" scenarios to better plan for the future.

We recognise that your business data is often stored within a variety of locations so Sage Financial Forecasting will work equally well on its own or when it is linked direct to Sage accounting software (Line 50 and Sage Payroll) or Excel spreadsheets. This integration functionality can help automate much of the initial data entry tasks and the updating of forecasts with actual data as the year progresses.

• Provide Boards and Banks with professional looking reports
• Plan effectively and gain a wider view of your business
• Translate business strategies into financial information
• Monitor your business financial health on a weekly, monthly or annual basis
• Automatic calculations for VAT, PAYE NI and Corporation Tax
• Integrates with existing Sage 50 Accounts data and Microsoft Excel
