Stage 1 recommends that you budget yearly (ideally Q4) and reforecast monthly to quarterly depending on the business’s need. Stage 1 typically reports Budget to Actual to reforecast.
While accounting tells you where you been, finance is determining where you are going and developing the map on how to get there. We focus on weekly cash forecasting, monthly demand planning and budgets that move and adapt as quickly as you do.
