Budget and Forecast

Plan the year, then keep it honest every month

Build next year's budget in five guided steps, run a rolling 13-month forecast that moves on by itself, and see your cash 13 weeks ahead. All of it from your own ledger, so the plan and the actuals speak the same language.

Annual budget

A budget proposed from your history, decided by you

Start from where the company really is. The platform proposes next year's budget decision by decision, and every idea you try shows its effect on revenue, net profit and the lowest cash at once.

  • Departments as revenue and cost centres, with every line monthly and annual
  • Ideas to test at once: prices up, a hiring freeze, a cost shock
  • The board's targets set against the budget, gap by gap
  • Approve and freeze, then track it month by month

Rolling forecast

Know where the year will land, every month

Actual months to date plus the forecast for the rest equals the full year, set against last year and the approved budget. Each line is forecast on its own trend and season.

  • Thirteen months from the first open month, rolling by itself
  • What moved since last month, line by line
  • Accuracy: each closed month scored against what was forecast
  • A one-page board version, in Arabic or English

What if

Move the drivers, and watch the year respond

Revenue is volume times price, and net profit is the answer, not an input. Change volume, price, gross margin and inflation, and compare the cases side by side.

  • Base, better and worse on the full year, with the weakest month of each
  • Hires as headcount times monthly cost from their start month
  • Each cost follows revenue, stays fixed with inflation, or is held

13-week cash

See the tightest week before it arrives

Thirteen weeks fill themselves from your ledger and your forecast. Collections follow the days your customers actually take to pay, and payroll, rent, VAT and zakat land when they are due.

  • Today's bank balance carried from your ledger
  • A minimum cash you set, and a warning that names the week
  • Cases such as customers paying fifteen days later
  • Type over any figure, and yours wins

How it works

How a budget comes together

Your departments

Choose the year, its first month and your type of business, then list departments as revenue or cost centres.

Write the budget

Every centre has its lines, annual and monthly. Each figure is saved the moment you type it.

Proposed budget

Accept, adjust or test the proposal decision by decision, and undo whenever you like.

Targets and gap

Add what the board wants and decide, target by target, how to close the gap.

Approve and freeze

Submit for review. Once approved, it is frozen as the original and tracked every month.

Who it is for

Built for the people who answer for the numbers

Finance managers and CFOs

One place for the budget, the forecast and cash, instead of a stack of spreadsheets.

Owners and CEOs

See where the year is heading and test a decision before you take it.

Boards

Targets against the budget, and a forecast that says plainly where the year will land.

Included from the Growth plan

The annual budget, forecasts, scenarios, driver-based planning and workforce costs come with Growth, from SAR 399 a month per company. Transfers, amendments, versions and the approval workflow come with Enterprise.

Questions

Before you start

Can I change an approved budget?

Yes, through a transfer or an amendment under approval. The original stays on record beside the amended version.

Do I have to type every week of the cash forecast?

No. The suggestions fill the sheet from your ledger; you type only where you know better.

Where do the figures come from?

From your accounting system through a read-only connection: Qoyod, Wafeq, Odoo, Alostaz, Daftra, Dafater, Mezan, ERPNext, Zoho Books, QuickBooks or Xero.

What if my ledger books no zakat?

The forecast estimates it at two and a half percent and shows clearly that it is an estimate.
