Sound familiar?
Still not sure what next quarter looks like financially?
Most small business owners in Hampshire are running on gut feel and last month’s bank statement. That works until it does not. A slow month, a large tax bill, a client who pays late — and suddenly the numbers do not add up. The information to see it coming usually exists. It just has not been put together properly.
- No clear picture of cash position beyond the next four weeks
- Tax bills arriving as surprises rather than planned-for commitments
- Growth decisions made on instinct because the numbers are not available in time
What a working forecast looks like
A cash flow forecast built on your actual revenue patterns, cost structure, and upcoming obligations gives you a twelve-month view you can act on. The surprises do not disappear, but they stop arriving without warning.
- Rolling twelve-month cash position updated as your trading data changes
- Corporation tax, VAT, and payroll obligations mapped into the forecast so nothing lands unexpectedly
- Growth and investment scenarios modelled so decisions are based on numbers, not instinct
- Fixed-fee engagement with no surprise bills at the end of the month

Why Hampshire businesses choose us for forecasting
There are plenty of accountants in Hampshire who will file your returns. Fewer who will tell you what your bank balance looks like in October before it is October.
Forecasts Built on Commercial Reality
Stuart Green has spent over 20 years working directly with owner-managed businesses on cash flow, business planning, and performance monitoring. The forecasts produced here are built around how your business actually operates, not a generic spreadsheet template. Seasonal trading patterns, payment terms, CIS deductions, VAT timing — all of it goes in.
Live Data, Not Last Quarter’s Figures
Certified in Xero and QuickBooks Online, Supreme Consulting connects your forecast to your live accounting data so actuals update automatically. You are not working from a static document that is out of date the day after it is produced. The numbers reflect where you actually are.
Fixed Price, No Surprises
Every engagement is scoped and priced upfront. You know what you are paying before any work starts, and the bill does not change because a call ran long or a scenario took another hour to model. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
The first conversation costs nothing. Most clients have a working forecast within two to three weeks of starting, depending on how current their bookkeeping records are.
A No-Obligation Discovery Call
A short conversation to understand your business, your current financial setup, and what you actually need from a forecast. You do not need to prepare anything. Bring questions if you have them, or just turn up and we will ask the right ones.
A Clear, Fixed-Fee Proposal
You will receive a written proposal covering exactly what is included, the timescale, and the monthly fee. No vague estimates and no hourly billing that accumulates invisibly. If the scope changes, the price is discussed before anything is done.
Onboarding and Data Setup
We connect to your existing accounting software or set up the right tools if you do not have them yet. Historical trading data is pulled through, tax obligations are mapped in, and the initial forecast is built. You provide access; we handle the rest.
Ongoing Forecasting and Advice
Monthly updates, quarterly reviews, and a standing invitation to ask questions when decisions come up. The goal is that cash flow stops being a source of uncertainty and becomes something you check the same way you check the weather — regularly, and without drama.

Things people ask before getting started
Can you build a forecast around my specific business model, or is it a generic template?
Every forecast is built from your actual figures — your revenue lines, your cost structure, your tax obligations, and your payment terms. If you run a seasonal business, that goes in. If you have CIS deductions or quarterly VAT payments that create cash timing issues, those are mapped specifically. A generic template is not useful because it does not reflect how your cash actually moves.
What does cash flow forecasting cost, and what exactly is included?
Pricing is fixed and agreed before any work starts. The scope typically covers the initial forecast build, monthly updates connected to your accounting software, and quarterly review calls. The fee depends on the complexity of your business and how frequently you need the model updated. You will receive a written quote with everything itemised before committing to anything.
My bookkeeping is behind. Can you still build a useful forecast?
Yes, though the first step is usually a catch-up on the underlying records. A forecast built on inaccurate or incomplete data is not worth much. We will be straightforward about what needs tidying first and what that costs, and then work forward from a clean base. Most clients are surprised how quickly it can be resolved.
Is there a minimum contract or lock-in period?
There is no long-term lock-in. Ongoing forecasting is typically structured as a monthly retainer, which you can end with reasonable notice. If you decide it is not working, you leave with your forecast model, your data, and nothing outstanding. The aim is to be genuinely useful rather than contractually unavoidable.
Can the forecast be used to support a bank loan or funding application?
Yes. A well-structured cash flow forecast with clear assumptions is one of the first things lenders ask for. The model can be formatted to meet typical bank or investor requirements and accompanied by a brief commentary explaining the assumptions behind the numbers. It is considerably more credible than a spreadsheet put together the night before a meeting.
How far ahead can a cash flow forecast reliably project?
Twelve months is the standard horizon for operational forecasting and the period most lenders expect to see. Beyond that, figures become less reliable because too many variables are unknown. For longer-term strategic planning, a three-year model with clearly stated assumptions is possible, though it is more useful as a planning tool than a precise prediction.
