The Cost of Poor Financial Planning
Poor financial planning can leave construction businesses exposed to cash pressure, unexpected tax liabilities, underfunded projects and missed growth opportunities. While there is no penalty simply for not having a financial forecast, inaccurate or delayed financial information can contribute to missed tax and filing obligations listed below.

FAQs
What is financial forecasting?
Financial forecasting uses current financial and business information to estimate future revenue, costs, profitability, cash flow and financial position.
What is business planning?
Business planning brings together your financial forecasts, growth objectives, projects, resources and investment plans to create a clearer financial roadmap.
What does a financial forecast include?
Depending on your requirements, it can include revenue forecasts, profit and loss projections, cash flow, balance sheet forecasts, costs, working capital and scenario planning. Integrated forecasting commonly connects profit, balance sheet and cash-flow projections.
Can you forecast the financial impact of a new construction project?
Yes. We can assess expected project revenue, labour costs, subcontractor costs, materials, overheads, investment and potential profitability.
Can you help with growth planning?
Yes. We can model the financial impact of increased revenue, additional projects, hiring, investment and higher operating costs.
Can you create different business scenarios?
Yes. Scenario planning can compare different assumptions, such as stronger growth, lower margins, higher costs or changes in project activity.
Can you help with investment planning?
Yes. We can model the potential financial impact of plant, machinery, equipment and other capital expenditure before you commit to major spending.
Can financial forecasting help with funding?
Yes. Financial projections can help demonstrate expected performance, cash requirements and assumptions when preparing for funding or lender discussions.
How often should a financial forecast be updated?
The appropriate frequency depends on your business and how quickly your circumstances change. A rolling forecast can be updated as actual results and business assumptions change.
What is the difference between a budget and a forecast?
A budget sets the financial plan you intend to work towards. A forecast updates your view of where the business is heading based on actual results and changing assumptions.
Can this include cash-flow forecasting?
Yes. We can include cash-flow forecasting where required, although our separate Construction Cash Flow Forecasting service focuses specifically on project cash timing, payment schedules, retentions and working capital.
