Budgeting & Cash Flow Forecasting Service

Build a Financial Roadmap That Actually Guides You

Most small businesses operate with vague goals and a general sense of what’s in the bank—but no real plan. At Perfect Balance, we help businesses throughout Columbus and nearby areas like Bexley and Worthington create custom budgets and cash flow forecasts that put you in control of your financial future.



Whether you're preparing for expansion, applying for a loan, or just want to avoid surprises, we offer financial planning for small businesses that’s practical, accurate, and designed for real-world use—not just for show.

Plan for the Future with Confidence

You don’t have to run your business on guesswork. Our budgeting and forecasting services give you the visibility you’ve been missing—so you know what’s coming and can act on it.



If you’ve ever asked, “How much can I afford to spend next month?” or “What if I hire another employee?”—we’re here to help you answer those questions with real numbers, not just intuition.

Business Budgeting Built for Real Life

We start by reviewing your historical revenue and expenses to identify patterns and opportunities. Then we help you set financial goals and build a month-by-month budget that supports them. It’s not a template—it’s your business, your numbers, your plan.



We also offer scenario planning to test “what if” ideas. Whether you’re thinking about expanding to a new location in Columbus, adding staff, or adjusting pricing, we’ll run the numbers so you can make informed decisions.

Cash Flow Forecasting That Looks Ahead

Cash flow forecasting helps you anticipate when money will come in and when it needs to go out. We track sales, reimbursements, payroll, taxes, and every other line item—giving you a clear picture of upcoming highs and lows.



You won’t be surprised by a cash crunch, and you’ll know when it’s safe to invest back into your business. It’s proactive financial management, not just recordkeeping.

Tracking the Metrics That Matter

If you’re ready to go beyond just numbers on a page, we’ll help you define and monitor key performance indicators that align with your goals. For example:

  • Revenue per service line
  • Donor growth for nonprofits
  • Overhead as a percentage of revenue
  • Margin per job or contract

Tracking these KPIs over time allows you to respond quickly and stay on course.

Who Benefits from Budgeting & Forecasting

This service is ideal for:

  • Business owners preparing for a loan, expansion, or major investment

  • Nonprofits that need to plan grant usage or submit financial projections

  • Real estate investors managing multiple properties or LLCs

  • High-net-worth individuals seeking cash planning across business and personal assets

  • Medical practices needing budget oversight tied to staffing, reimbursements, and equipment

If you’re making decisions with incomplete financial information, we help bring clarity to the process.

  • How is this different from bookkeeping?

    Bookkeeping records what already happened. Budgeting and forecasting help you plan for what’s next. We use past data to build a roadmap for the future—and help you stick to it.

  • Can I get budgeting without monthly bookkeeping?

    We recommend combining services for accuracy, but if your books are current and clean, we can work with your existing data to build a custom budget and forecast.

  • How often is the forecast updated?

    We typically update forecasts monthly or quarterly, depending on your business needs and how often your cash position changes.

  • Do you provide budgets for nonprofits or grants?

    Yes. We’re experienced in nonprofit budgeting and grant compliance, and we can help you create budgets tailored to funder requirements and reporting standards.

  • Can you help with long-term financial projections?

    Absolutely. Whether you need one-year or multi-year projections for planning or presentations, we can help you forecast clearly and credibly.
