Financial ForecastingProper financial forecasting begins with proper cash flow management. The primary reason businesses fail is due to a lack of cash flow or poor cash flow management rather than due to a lack of sales. RBI brings more than 20 years of finance, accounting, and budget formulation experience to the table. This 20 years of experience has been gained in the last 20 years which is relevant to you because the experience has been gained in the transition from the industrial age to the digital age. How we think about money has changed in this transition. Don't let the subject of financial management intimidate you. Money is not the destination but rather a resource by which we can pursue our endeavours and dreams. Your financial forecast is a road map to achieving your vision.
