PursuitBidFINANCIAL PLANNING & ANALYSIS

The financial planning workspace

Clear views for the decisions ahead.

PursuitBid connects source records to budgets, forecasts and scenarios with their dates, assumptions and limits visible.

Actuals and source coverage

Bring in supported accounting records or structured file snapshots, then review mappings and validation before relying on the results.

Structured imports

CSV/XLSX supports period movements, budgets, balance and trial-balance snapshots, receivables, payables, cash observations, payroll/headcount and drivers.

Source status

Coverage, reconciliation, source date and basis remain distinct. Missing data remains missing rather than being silently treated as zero.

Management targets

Keep the budget distinct from expectations.

Prepare and version annual budgets. Management explicitly adopts a revision; the later forecast does not rewrite the approved target.

Read budget versus forecast →

A budget records the plan management adopts. A forecast records what current evidence and assumptions suggest may happen.

A rolling operating outlook

Review revenue, costs and staffing across a supported 12–60 month connected planning horizon, with a defined actuals cutoff.

REVENUE

Make the driver explicit

Use supported run-rate, growth, monthly series or volume-and-price assumptions, with their inputs visible.

COSTS

Show how expenses move

Model supported run-rate, growth, monthly values, revenue percentages or headcount costs.

REFRESH

Advance from valid evidence

Rolling advances depend on reconciled closed actual periods. Missing new assumptions create an input wait.

Cash planning

Make timing part of the conversation.

Review a thirteen-week outlook from complete dated flows or supported source timing with required opening balances and open items.

What it is

A bounded cash outlook based on identified information and assumptions.

What it is not

A live bank feed or an automatic conversion of revenue into receipts. The weekly cash outlook is distinct from the linked monthly statements; required timing gaps remain visible.

Scenarios and staffing

Test a proposed change in a separate scenario and keep the baseline and scenario assumptions distinct.

Compare a decision

Review how supported changes to demand, pricing, costs or staffing assumptions affect the operating outlook.

Plan positions

Use dated headcount assumptions and supported compensation fields. Payroll/headcount data uses file import, not a live payroll connection.

Performance analysis

Explain the measured change.

Compare compatible like periods and show how account and department contributions add to observed changes.

Observation is not causation

Numbers can identify where a difference appears. They do not prove why it happened; unverified causes remain hypotheses, not financial facts.

Management reports you can trace

Published editions retain the inputs, assumptions and source versions used at publication.

HTML

Review a readable report in the workspace.

PDF

Share a fixed report edition with its reporting context.

XLSX

Inspect a values export and supporting detail; it is not a live model with editable forecast formulas.

Corrections

A later correction creates a new edition. It does not alter the previously published report.

Connected financial planning

Link the decision to profit, balances and cash.

Build a monthly income statement, balance sheet and cash-flow forecast from an explicit opening position and supported operating schedules. Inspect the source coverage and reconciliation before relying on a complete-statement result.

Capital and working capital

Model supported asset purchases, depreciation, receivables, payables and inventory movements without treating every cash payment as an expense.

Debt and financing

Keep principal, interest, fees and repayment timing distinct. Financing assumptions require an explicit basis.

Understand where margin comes from.

Separate directly attributed costs from allocated overhead. Review profitability by supported product, customer and department dimensions, with unallocated amounts visible.

Traceable allocations

Apply versioned allocation rules and follow a shared cost pool to its destinations. A policy change creates a new result, not a rewritten historical report.

Scenario comparisons

Compare pricing, volume, hiring and cash timing changes before adopting a new forecast. The original baseline remains identifiable.

Company and group views

Keep entities distinct. Make the group explainable.

Use exact entity versions, effective-dated ownership and reviewed FX rates for supported management-planning consolidation. Inspect translation, adjustments and the resulting group view.

Evidence before adjustments

Intercompany and ownership adjustments require supported inputs and explicit management policy. Missing material evidence keeps a result preliminary.

Management-planning treatments are not a claim of statutory consolidation, comprehensive purchase-price allocation or accounting-standard certification.
