Financial Projections / The Financial Report

The Financial Report

Pry's Financial Report is an interactive three-way forecast. A three-way forecast combines three key reports into one consolidated forecast. The Financial Report links your profit & loss, balance sheet, and cashflow projection.

Adjusting the Date Range

The Date Range selector allows you to adjust the time period of your financial report.

Forecasting more years

To add additional years to your forecast, click on the "+" icon on the right of the date range selector and click on the green check to confirm add range year.

There are 3 circles on the date range selector and each circle represent a month/year:

• Left circle represents the starting month
• Middle circle represents the trigger point between actuals and forecasts
• Right circle represents the ending month

To extend your forecasts, click and drag the right circle to the right. You can forecast up to 5 years on Pry.

Financial Report Sections

The Financial Report is broken down into 3 main sections reflecting key data from the three main financial reports. The Available Balance, Net Income, and Change in Cashflow sections.

Available Balance

The Available Balance Section contains the Banks and Credit Cards. It shows the total Banks balance less the Credit Card balance. By default, Pry's Available Balance is a cumulative balance showing the start of month balance. This can be customized to show the end of month balance instead.

The Available Balance Section shows key data usually found on the Balance Sheet.

Net Income

The Net Income (Profit & Loss) Section contains the Revenue, Cost of Revenue, and Expense accounts. It contains the Gross Profit Section and shows the Net Income for the company. The Net Income section is identical to a Profit & Loss Report.

Change in Cashflow

The Change in Cashflow Section references the Net Income Section and contains the Assets, Liabilities, and Equity accounts. The Change in Assets and Change in Liabilities & Equity sections show the change in the balance with respect to cash for the month.

This last section contains key information usually found on the Cashflow Statement.

The Available Starting Balance for the month plush the change in cashflow will equal the Available Starting Balance for the following month.

Forecasts vs Actuals

After your financial plan is built, you can review your forecasts vs actuals and compare them side by side, month over month. Visit the Forecasts vs Actuals page by pressing on the tab under Financial Report next to the 'Main Forecast' tab.

Variances

• Green highlight means the actuals were better than forecasted; red means the actuals were worse than forecasted
• The darker the color, the higher the variance; the lighter the color, the lower the variance
• If the variance is less than $100, it's not highlighted.
