Sage 50 Forecasting 2007
Sage 50 Forecasting helps you create accurate financial
forecasts to help you plan for the future.
You can create forecasts direct from Sage accounts data or you can enter your
own data. In either case, you'll save time and effort and increase accuracy
compared to developing your own spreadsheets.
The software enables you to make confident business decisions and provides you
with professionally presented reports and graphs to convince bank managers and
investors. Reports and graphs include future Cash Flow, Funds Flow, Profit
& Loss and Balance Sheet.
Why should I forecast?
Accurate forecasts are key to business growth and success. They help you plan
for the future and manage the present with confidence.
Why Sage 50 Forecasting?
Sage 50 Forecasting has been designed to eliminate the time-consuming and
complex task of producing your own spreadsheets to create financial forecasts.
By linking directly with data in Sage 50 Accounts, you can save time on
re-keying data. What's more, Sage 50 Forecasting's double-entry data system and
pre-installed formulae combine to produce figures that you can trust.
What's your future?
Once your forecast is set up you can visualise the impact that decisions will
have on your cash flow, funds flow, Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet. You
can experiment with a range of possible scenarios. For example, test out the
impact of any business idea such as expansion, diversification, taking on new
staff or adding new product lines. Experiment with your business and find out
what it'll take to reach your ideal financial position.
It's easy to update your forecasts with current data direct from your Sage 50
Accounts. This means you can easily re-forecast based on actual results while
still leaving your original budgets intact. So you can track progress and
identify gaps and opportunities.
