Onboarding guides

How-to guides for building a cash-consistent model

Follow the recommended path to get a reliable baseline first — then use dashboards, health checks and scenario analysis to make decisions.

Start the onboarding path Product overview

Recommended path

Build a baseline → confirm it reconciles → explore outputs → make decisions.

1) Create project

Set base year + horizon.

Define revenue, COGS, payroll, opex, tax.

3) Balance Sheet

Investments, WC, equity & debt.

4) Validate & decide

Health checks → scenarios → dashboard → export.

All guides

Baseline

Create your first project

Set up a new model with the right base year and horizon.

Define revenue, COGS, payroll, opex and tax drivers.

Balance Sheet setup

Model investments, working capital, equity and debt (end-of-year convention).

Outputs

Cash Flow explained

Read the cash flow statement and understand change in cash.

Pick the KPIs and ratios you want to track and compare.

Export an investor pack

Export 3-statements to Excel in a clean Big-4 style layout.

Decisions

Scenario analysis

Stress-test key drivers from Year 1 onward and compare to baseline.

Health & readiness

Spot missing base-year inputs and run consistency checks across years.

Start with the baseline, then explore decisions

Most models fail because cash mechanics aren’t anchored. Build the baseline first — then scenarios and exports become meaningful.
