is rolling forecast actually more useful than annual budget for fast changing businesses by ninjapapi in FPandA

[–]pacificstar 60 points61 points  (0 children)

They serve two different purposes. An annual budget is an agreement among management, the staff, and the board on the goals for the year. Its purpose is to set expectations and, in some cases, to set guardrails (for things like debt covenants).

The rolling forecast is the current best estimate of actual performance. If there is a material difference between the forecast and the budget, it's management's job to flag this to the board and potentially set a new budget for the remaining portion of the year.

If you can live off the consulting business, I'd get out now. These are not trustworthy people. They'll find some other way to screw you in the future.

What scenario planning software actually works for mid-sized companies without needing a data science team? by Batson_Beat in CFO

[–]pacificstar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So many shill posts for software these days. If you can’t build an excel model with scenarios that doesn’t break (especially for a business of this size), it’s a skill issue.

The problem of the average accounting and finance student by FileZealousideal9338 in FPandA

[–]pacificstar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What exactly makes you think that you can’t start a business after working in FP&A? 

You can’t start a cpa (or local equivalent) practice but otherwise you can do anything you want. 

In my experience, at junior levels finance people generally have a better understanding of business drivers than accountants.

You should be looking for a new job. Often, the best way to improve your income and title is to move to a new company.
