Prepare Your Business For 2021: A Guide To Budgeting & Planning

Formulate - A Kainos company on 12/01/21 16:42
2020 was rubbish. Don't fall behind in 2021.

When a CFO walks into a building, they've already surveyed the street, studied the plans, and located the exits. When COVID hit, they checked their cashflow, pivoted their forecasting, and dramatically reduced costs. CFO's have been planning for 2021 since March 2020.
Since you can't function without a plan, we've mapped out a guide for 2021.

It the end of 2020, so we've decided it's time for a round-up. Quite obviously, it's been a rubbish year, but it's been so rubbish that all the non-rubbish things really stand out. So, in this special edition, we present our official list of 2020 triumphs.
The first virtual Lunch & Learn event was a chance for us to meet other finance professionals and find out the mountains they have had to climb this year. We hope we gave some helpful advice and we enjoyed meeting everyone. (We also hope everyone enjoyed their Deliveroo vouchers!). The event was warm, friendly and insightful.
"It was wonderful to meet everyone and to find out their challenges and discuss ways to overcome these difficulties for the New Year". said Stephen Hambling.
