Financial forecasting? Create a confidence document

The board wants clarity.
The CEO wants optimism.
The numbers… want a miracle.
Move away from 'spreadsheet as a shield' and start building what I call a 'confidence document'.
Because good financial forecasting isn’t just about numbers. It’s:
A clear narrative that reflects market conditions.
A set of grounded assumptions (not dreams).
A signal to investors or execs that you’re in control.
I've worked with plenty of founders and finance leads in this exact spot, reworking vague cashflow maps into solid, story-backed forecasts that people can trust.
Top tip: A great forecast isn’t a guess, it’s a story your stakeholders can believe in.
