Frequently Asked Questions about Finance Tracker

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a cash flow forecast in Python?▼

Use the CashFlowManager class with historical receipts and payments data to generate a 12-month rolling forecast. It applies seasonal factors and growth rates, then flags low-cash risk periods and excess-cash investment opportunities.

How to calculate NPV and IRR for investment analysis?▼

The InvestmentAnalyzer class calculates NPV by discounting future cash flows at a configurable rate and solves IRR using scipy's fsolve. It also computes payback period and ROI, then issues a recommendation based on risk score.

What SQL is used for budget variance analysis?▼

A CTE-based query groups budget and actual amounts by department and quarter, computing variance amounts and percentages. It classifies each department as On Track, Over Budget, or Under Budget using a 5% threshold.

Does the cash flow forecast handle seasonality?▼

Yes, the forecast applies a seasonal factor per month derived from historical patterns before projecting receipts and payments. It also outputs confidence intervals at 85% and 115% of net cash flow.

What are the limitations of this financial analysis approach?▼

Forecasts depend on the quality and completeness of historical data and assume past seasonal patterns continue. The pandas append method used is deprecated in newer pandas versions, and results require validation against actual accounting records.
