About this Gig
Know where the money is going before the quarter ends.
I build budgets, rolling forecasts and budget vs actual reporting in Excel. This is my day job: I run the budget and forecast cycle for a fintech, and I hold the CFI FP&A Professional (FPAP) and BI Specialist certificates.
What I build
- Annual budget by month, split by department or cost centre
- Rolling forecasts that update as actuals come in
- Budget vs actual reporting with variance commentary
- Cash flow forecasts, including 13-week
- Scenarios: base, upside and downside
How every file is built
- Inputs, calculations and outputs kept separate
- Formula-driven, with no figures typed into the calculations
- Checks that flag when something does not tie
- A summary dashboard, and a short guide on how to update it
How it works
- Send your actuals (or a description of the business) and what the budget is for.
- I confirm the structure and assumptions before starting.
- You get the .xlsx file and a revision round.
Please message me before ordering so I can confirm the right package.

FAQ
What do you need from me to start?
Your actuals or trial balance (Excel or CSV is fine), your cost centres, and any assumptions you already have.
Can you work from my accounting software?
Yes. Exports from Zoho Books, QuickBooks or Xero work well.
Excel or Google Sheets?
Either. Excel is the default.
Do you give financial or investment advice?
No. I build the budget and the reporting; the assumptions and the decisions stay yours.
What if my numbers are messy?
That is normal. Send what you have and I will tell you what is missing before you order.
