Zero to Forecast in 3 weeks
Summary
Six weeks ago you were probably scrambling to produce a forecast which bore some semblance to the uncertain economic realities of the post-COVID-19 world. Just as the shutdown was starting to take place, CALUMO’s clients were already re-forecasting their what-if scenarios utilising CALUMO’s forecasting capabilities to generate forward-looking results for extremely varied outcomes. In some cases, our clients used the experience of our consulting team as a sort-of “Outsourced FP&A” function – to keep pace with the rapidly changing models and assumptions driving their financials. You may read this and think you’ve missed the boat, you didn’t have a robust, flexible forecasting tool in place before COVID-19, and that ship has sailed – you’re stuck doing things the old way. CALUMO can rapidly move you, your finance team and line of business managers to the position where they can make adjustments to values or assumptions on the fly, as soon as new information comes to hand.
