What are budgeting and forecasting
Budgeting
Budgeting involves creating a financial plan that allocates resources to achieve specific goals. It sets limits on spending and identifies where funds should be directed to maximise returns.
Forecasting
Forecasting, on the other hand, predicts future financial performance based on historical data and market trends. It provides a dynamic view of your finances, helping you adapt to changes and maintain stability.
Together, budgeting and forecasting provide a roadmap for your financial success.

Frequently asked questions about business budgeting and forecasting
What is the difference between budgeting and forecasting?
Budgeting involves creating a financial plan that defines your business’s spending and goals over a set period, while forecasting predicts future financial performance based on historical data. Budgets are fixed, while forecasts adapt to current trends and actual performance.

Forecasts should be updated regularly, such as quarterly or monthly, to reflect changing market conditions, unexpected expenses, or revenue fluctuations.

Yes! Our forecasting services provide a clear picture of your cash flow, helping you identify potential gaps and plan to maintain liquidity, ensuring smooth operations.
Is budgeting useful for small businesses?
Absolutely! Budgeting helps small businesses allocate resources effectively, control costs, and prepare for growth by offering a clear financial roadmap.

You’ll need financial records, such as past revenue, expenses, tax information, and upcoming costs. Argus Accounting simplifies this process by helping you organise and analyse this data to create actionable plans.
