Budgets that actually forecast. Cash you actually see coming.
Development and implementation of improved budgeting systems and cash flow forecasting models for nonprofits, enabling more effective financial planning and decision-making, from the annual budget to weekly cash.
From annual-budget theatre to a system your board can act on.
The old budget spreadsheet gets replaced with a budgeting system your finance team can maintain and your board can question. Cash flow forecasting sits on top: a rolling model refreshed weekly, so restricted funds, grant timing, and program cycles show up before they surprise the ED.
At the American Swedish Institute, our outside viewpoint and collaboration allowed the team to create a more effective budgeting system, confirmed by COO Ingrid M. Nyholm-Lange.
