Cash Flow forecast excel – Developer Brief (Points 1–8) 1. Business Context • We operate as both a manufacturer and a retailer of apparel. • The business manufactures garments internally and also outsources production where capacity is constrained. • Sales are made through wholesale channels and through our own retail stores. • The tool must support an integrated view of manufacturing, procurement, sales, and cash flow. 2. Financial Budgets • Approved financial budgets exist for the full 2026 financial year. • Budgets include revenue, cost of goods sold, and operating expenses. • Budgets must be uploadable or input into the model and remain editable for scenario planning. • The system must differentiate between fixed and variable costs. 3. Operating Expenses (OPEX) • OPEX budgets are clearly defined on a monthly basis. • These include rent, salaries, utilities, marketing, admin, and other overheads. • OPEX is treated as a fixed monthly cash outflow in the cash flow model. • The tool must allow OPEX changes to be simulated. 4. Sales & Unit Planning • Exact unit sales targets are defined per category and per style. • Retail and wholesale sales volumes may vary month-to-month due to seasonality. • The system must allocate unit sales across months based on an input sales curve. • Sales volumes must directly drive production and procurement requirements. 5. Fabrics & Suppliers • Garments are produced using multiple fabric types. • Each fabric supplier has different pricing, lead times, and payment terms. • Fabric orders must be linked to the styles they support. • The system must calculate fabric requirements based on unit volumes and consumption rates. 6. In-House Manufacturing • Certain garments are manufactured internally. • In-house production has a lead time of approximately 12–14 weeks. • Factory overheads are fixed and must be allocated based on production volume. • The system must calculate when production must start based on required delivery dates. 7. Outsourced Manufacturing • Where in-house capacity is insufficient, garments are outsourced to external manufacturers. • Outsourced production is priced per unit with agreed lead times. • Each supplier may have different payment terms. • Outsourced production costs must be scheduled accurately in the cash flow. 8. Pricing & VAT • Wholesale prices are generally calculated as cost × 2 (100% markup). • Retail prices are generally wholesale × 2. • VAT is charged at 15% on all wholesale and retail sales. • The system must track VAT output, VAT input, and net VAT payable.

I can build a robust, Excel-based cash-flow forecasting model that integrates manufacturing, outsourcing, sales planning, and VAT exactly as you’ve outlined—while remaining transparent, auditable, and easy to scenario-test. This is precisely the kind of end-to-end financial modelling we are trained to handle during Chartered Accountancy training, where we learn to link operational drivers (units, lead times, capacity) with budgets, cash timing, and statutory items like VAT. That discipline ensures the model reflects business reality, not just spreadsheet logic. How I’ll approach this: • Design a clean assumptions layer for budgets, unit plans, sales curves, suppliers, lead times, and payment terms • Build production and procurement logic that back-calculates start dates from sales demand • Separate in-house vs outsourced manufacturing with correct cost allocation and cash timing • Treat OPEX as fixed monthly outflows with easy scenario toggles • Automate VAT tracking (input, output, net payable) aligned to sales and purchase timing • Produce a month-by-month cash-flow forecast that fully reconciles to budgets What you’ll get: • A structured, formula-driven Excel model (no black boxes) • Clearly labelled inputs, workings, and outputs • Scenario flexibility without breaking logic • Documentation explaining flow, assumptions, and controls Looking forward to hear from with you.
