SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Founders need a defensible, reconciled financial plan for growth, fundraising, and lending decisions, but building a fully-linked three-statement forecast with working-capital drivers, debt schedules, and covenant checks is complex and error-prone. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Driver-Based Three-Statement Modeling: Projects income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow monthly for year one and annually thereafter from documented assumptions, resolving interest/debt circularity iteratively. - Funding-Need Sizing: Uses a revolver cash-plug against a minimum-cash target to quantify how much external funding is needed and when, with covenant and minimum-cash breach checks every period. - Use Case: Before a loan application, a founder asks for a 3-year plan with 20% revenue growth, declining COGS%, DSO/DIO/DPO drivers, and a $200k revolver cap; the Skill outputs linked statements, a peak revolver draw schedule, and covenant status. ## Quick Start Build a 3-year financial forecast from my latest income statement and balance sheet with 20% annual revenue growth, 60% COGS, and a $50k minimum cash balance.

Frequently Asked Questions about financial-forecast-builder

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a three-statement financial forecast for my business?▼

Anchor the model to your most recent actual income statement and balance sheet, then project revenue by growth rate, units times price, or a monthly ramp. The model derives COGS, opex, working capital via DSO/DIO/DPO days, and assembles linked income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow outputs.

How to calculate how much funding a growth plan needs?▼

The forecast enforces a minimum-cash balance and uses a revolver as the cash plug, drawing when projected cash falls below the target. If the revolver cap is exhausted and assets exceed liabilities plus equity, that gap is the external funding needed, reported with size and timing per period.

Can a financial forecast model a new product line on top of an existing business?▼

Yes, incremental opportunity modeling layers the new line's revenue driver, COGS percentage, opex, capex, and working-capital days on top of the existing business. It presents standalone and combined views side by side.

Does the forecast check loan covenants like DSCR and current ratio?▼

Covenant checks run every projected period, testing current ratio, times interest earned, DSCR, and debt-to-equity against covenant minimums. Breaches are flagged by period and severity and handed to debt-service-and-covenant-analysis.

When should I not use a full three-statement forecast?▼

Skip the full build for stress-testing an existing forecast across scenarios, which belongs to scenario-and-sensitivity-analysis, or for a quick go/no-go on one opportunity, where break-even unit economics suffice. Turning the forecast into an operating budget is handled by budget-builder.
