Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers to common questions about our tax preparation services.
What is the difference between financial reporting and financial forecasting?
Financial reporting (like your P&L) looks backward; it tells you what happened in the past to ensure you are compliant with taxes and regulations. Financial forecasting looks forward; it uses that historical data to predict future performance. At Molen & Associates, we use forecasting to build a roadmap that helps you make strategic decisions about hiring, expanding, or purchasing inventory.
Do I need a financial forecast to get a business loan?
Almost always, yes. Banks and investors want to know how you plan to repay them. They are rarely satisfied with just seeing past tax returns. We create professional “Pro Forma” financial statements that demonstrate your future profitability and ability to service debt, significantly increasing your credibility with lenders.
I am a new startup with no financial history. Can you still build a forecast?
Yes. For startups, we build forecasts based on realistic industry benchmarks, market research, and your specific business model. This is often required by investors who want to see your “path to profitability” before they give you capital. We help you turn your business plan into a mathematical reality.
My business is profitable, so why do I need a cash flow forecast?
Profit is not the same as cash. You can be profitable on paper but still go out of business if your customers pay you late or if you buy too much inventory at once. A cash flow forecast predicts exactly when money will enter and leave your bank account, ensuring you always have enough liquidity to make payroll.
How accurate are these forecasts? Can you really predict the future?
While no one has a crystal ball, our forecasts are far more than guesses. We use data-driven modeling based on your historical trends, seasonal cycles, and market conditions. We build “assumptions” into the model so you can see exactly how changes in price, volume, or costs will affect your bottom line.
