The best forecast is the one you’ll maintain. Keep it short, linked to your bank, and reviewed weekly.
The 90‑day view
Focus on near‑term inflows and outflows, not a perfect 12‑month plan.
Inputs that matter
Open invoices, payroll dates, VAT or tax payments, and committed spend.
Cadence and accountability
Update every Friday, compare to actuals, and note deltas. Small, regular corrections beat big surprises.
