Why Choose Our Pacioli Forecaster 

Why choose our Pacioli Forecaster

 

First scenario – you don’t have a forecaster – the downside from that scenario is:

• You can’t experiment with your figures

• You are reliant on your accountant for updating and revising your figures when investors ask you to update – consequence is twofold:

• you pay each time you ask your accountant for an update / revision and 2) you don’t own your figures and can’t pitch with confidence

• You don’t develop your knowledge of forecasting and understanding how and why the cashflow, profit & loss account and balance sheet are linked

• You won’t be able to answer questions confidently when investors and financiers test you on your financial projections

• You will not be able to make the case for your valuation

 

Second scenario – you buy our forecaster – the upside is:

• You ‘own’ your numbers

• You learn how the forecaster works across the 3 statements by ‘playing’ with your numbers, reading the tabs on the forecaster and using the notes and guide videos on our website

• You become financially literate

• Your own forecaster will become your best friend in your business venture

• You can work more effectively with your accountant by preparing your figures first

• You can present and pitch with confidence

• You save money on accountancy fees

• You can work out your EBITDA valuation over 3 years using the forecaster or extend to 6 years using our webpage notes.  This gives you a platform to make your case for your valuation to investors

• Achieve better and faster valuations by demonstrating your skill and competence with figures

 

We have committed our business to giving entrepreneurs, businesspeople, school children and college students, their own self teaching financial forecaster.  School children can master financial literacy skills early in their education and improve their future job prospects if they choose that path rather than entrepreneurship.  We have built in educational tabs and designed the forecaster so that you only complete the coloured cells. 

Look on our Pacioli Forecaster as your best friend in business. The great gift of owning your own forecaster is that you can use it in your own time at home to revise your figures and try different scenarios.  Because you are doing the revisions yourself you will understand your own finances and can pitch with confidence to investors.

Luca Pacioli taught business finance in Northern Italy in the late 15th and early 16thC.  He was a brilliant mathematician and invented the system of double entry bookkeeping we still use today.  His ideas and teaching transformed world commerce.  You can read about him in this link

We trademarked our Company name from the inspiration of Luca Pacioli and his legacy.  Our forecaster uses the double entry system he invented.  The forecaster may look complex but is not when you break it into its phases.  The 3-year forecast video on this page will show you how quickly and simply you can create your own forecast for later revision as your numbers change.

 

Be sure to read the tab notes in the left-hand column.  They explain the various sheets and their role in the forecast.  You can use them in tandem with the training videos on the website.  The more you use the forecaster, the more familiar you become with its layout, and you learn the areas that are relevant to you.
