Most businesses don’t produce rolling forecasts because it’s so time consuming to do manually in spreadsheets. The problem is, if you’re only forecasting on an annual basis, your financial forecasts quickly go stale as business conditions change.
With a driver-based financial model, you can combine financial and non-financial data in one place and update your actuals with just a few clicks, making it easier than ever to publish a monthly rolling forecast that your team will actually use.
Forecast your balance sheet and statement of cash flows in addition to your income statement. See the impact of changes throughout the year on cash flow and working capital, not just revenue and expenses. Dazzle your executive team and investors and manage their expectations by reforesting every month or every quarter — or whenever you feel like it!
Jirav integrates with your accounting system, payroll system, and operational data to automatically import your trial balance and actuals. That means you’re always working with the latest data with no need to log in to multiple systems every time you need to update your forecasts.
Because you’re using an all-in-one FP&A solution, your forecasts and historical financial reporting are linked. That means you can produce reports that show what happened and predict what’s going to happen in the same reporting package. While Microsoft Excel isn’t going anywhere, you won’t have to rely on spreadsheets to produce monthly reporting packages. That saves you time that you can use to add more value to the business as opposed to formatting spreadsheets.
Do you report to more than one set of stakeholders? It’s easy with Jirav to copy and customize reporting packages so you can tailor them to the needs of each user.
With Jirav, you get an unlimited number of read-only users, meaning you can share your reporting packages and rolling forecasts with anyone who needs to see them in just a few clicks.
Your co-workers can log in and comment directly on reports to ask questions or provide feedback.
It’s easy to convert your rolling forecast into your updated budget. Instead of budgeting once per year, now you’re budgeting every quarter or even every month. That means fewer surprises and much a greater chance that your company will achieve its objectives.
Are you spending valuable time manually generating rolling forecasts in Excel instead of strategizing how to improve cash flow? Or maybe you're not even making forecasts more than once a year because of how time consuming it can be. Whether you are a business owner, finance leader, or accounting firm, Jirav will empower you to quickly deliver more accurate rolling forecasts. Where accounting software leaves off, Jirav takes over, helping you make sure everyone understands not just where they've been, but where they're going.
It's easy to share reports and dashboards with an unlimited number of read-only users. And you can collaborate on forecasts and budgets directly in Jirav so you never have to email an Excel spreadsheet again!
Jirav has been especially helpful for workforce planning because it allows you to very quickly create and remove different positions depending on the scenario. So we can very easily understand, if we hire this set of people now, how does that affect our runway? How does that affect our cash flow?
