Sound familiar?
Planning ahead without numbers to back it up.
Plenty of Torquay businesses operate on instinct — and instinct gets you so far. The trouble starts when a bank asks for three-year projections, a potential investor wants to see a financial model, or you need to make a significant hiring or investment decision. Gut feeling is not a spreadsheet, and a spreadsheet without proper assumptions is not a projection.
- No credible financial model when a lender or investor asks for one
- Projections built on guesswork rather than realistic, evidenced assumptions
- No way to stress-test a decision before committing money to it
What a proper projection looks like
A financial projection built on your actual trading history, realistic growth assumptions and clear scenario modelling gives you something you can act on. It tells you when cash gets tight, what headcount you can afford, and whether the numbers support the plan.
- A credible, lender-ready projection built from your actual figures
- Documented assumptions so anyone reading it understands what drives the numbers
- Scenario modelling — best case, base case and downside — so decisions are informed
- Agreed upfront at a fixed fee, so no unexpected bills when the work is done
What Torquay business owners say
Clients come for the projections and stay because the advice keeps coming. Here is what a couple of them had to say.
Daniel was very helpful and patient with me when I had no clue what to do and spoke through everything with me and made it clear, couldn’t recommend him enough, thank you again.
Professional service. This company does my accounts every year and i never have to worry about it. Speedy as well. I am a very happy customer.
Three things your projection covers
Financial projections from DG Accountancy are built to be used — by you, your bank, or anyone else who needs to understand where the business is going.
Revenue and Cost Forecasting
Your projection starts with a realistic model of income and expenditure, grounded in your current trading figures. We build in the assumptions clearly — revenue growth rates, cost inflation, headcount plans — so the output is defensible, not just optimistic. You will know exactly what drives each line.
Included as standardCash Flow Modelling
A profit forecast and a cash flow forecast are not the same thing. Your cash flow model shows when money is actually in the account — accounting for payment terms, tax liabilities, loan repayments and seasonal patterns. That is the number that determines whether the business survives a bad quarter.
Included as standardScenario and Sensitivity Analysis
A single projection assumes everything goes to plan, which it rarely does. We model at least three scenarios — base, upside and downside — so you can see the range of outcomes and make decisions with your eyes open. Stress-testing a plan before committing to it is considerably less costly than discovering the flaw afterwards.
Included as standardClients across Torquay and beyond
From sole traders to limited companies, the feedback tends to land in the same place: clear communication, fast turnaround, work done properly.

Fantastic Service, No Further Comment Needed

Transparent Fees, Fast and Thorough Work
“Fees were transparent, turnaround was fast, and the work was done thoroughly and accurately. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Daniel to anyone needing reliable accountancy support, particularly where deadlines really matter.”
Why Torquay businesses choose Daniel
There are plenty of accountants who will file your returns. Fewer who will build a projection you can actually use.
Projections grounded in experience
Daniel has worked across airlines, construction, manufacturing and entertainment over 20 years. That means he has seen the assumptions that hold up and the ones that do not — across a wide range of business models. Your projection is built by someone who knows what realistic looks like.
Reports you can actually explain
A financial projection is only useful if you understand it well enough to defend it in a meeting. Every report comes with plain-English commentary on the key assumptions and what drives the numbers. No unexplained cells, no mystery formulas.
Answers when you need them
Projections often come with a tight deadline — a lender waiting, an investor meeting scheduled, a decision to be made. DG Accountancy is known for fast turnaround and same-day replies. You will not be chasing progress updates while the clock runs down.
Up and running in four steps
Most clients have a working projection within a week of the initial call. Here is what the process looks like.
Book a free discovery call
We talk through your business, what the projection is for, and what level of detail you need. No sales pitch — just an honest conversation about scope, timelines and whether we are the right fit.
Receive your fixed-fee quote
You get a clear, written quote covering exactly what is included. Everything is agreed upfront, so there are no surprises when the work is done.
We build the model
We gather your trading history, agree the assumptions and build the projection. You will review a draft before anything is finalised, and we will walk you through the numbers so you understand every line.
A projection you can use
You receive a clean, lender-ready output with supporting commentary and scenario analysis. From that point, your compliance runs alongside ongoing advisory — with a responsive accountant available whenever a question comes up.
“Absolutely recommend Daniel for all and any accounts related matter. Would use his expertise again. He is the most amazing person, very professional, explaining every detail meticulously in order to finalise our accounts.”
Things people usually ask first
What is actually included in a financial projection — and how is it different from a cash flow forecast?
A financial projection typically covers a profit and loss forecast, a balance sheet projection and a cash flow model over a defined period — usually one to three years. A standalone cash flow forecast focuses specifically on the movement of cash in and out of the business. For most purposes, such as a bank application or a business planning exercise, you need both, and we build them together so the figures are consistent rather than prepared in isolation.
What does a financial projection cost, and how is it priced?
Projections are quoted at a fixed fee agreed before any work starts. The fee depends on the complexity of your business, the period being modelled, and whether scenario analysis is required. All quotes are written and transparent — no hourly rates, no surprises at invoice. For ongoing advisory clients, projection work is often included or discounted within their monthly package.
My existing accounts are a bit of a mess — does that affect the quality of the projection?
It can, because a projection is only as reliable as the historical data it is built from. If your books need tidying before we can build a credible model, we will tell you that upfront and quote for catch-up bookkeeping separately. Working from unreliable figures and presenting the result as a credible forecast would not be doing you any favours.
Is there a long-term contract, or can I just commission a one-off projection?
One-off projection work is available at a fixed fee with no ongoing commitment required. If you subsequently want ongoing advisory support — management accounts, cash flow monitoring, tax planning — that is available on a monthly basis with no long-term lock-in. You can leave with a month’s notice.
Can you build projections in a format lenders or investors will accept?
Yes. The output format depends on what your lender or investor requires — some have specific templates, others are flexible. We ask about the intended audience at the outset and build accordingly. If a lender later asks for adjustments or additional commentary, that is a normal part of the process and we handle it without additional charges for reasonable revisions.
How far ahead should a financial projection look?
For most bank lending applications, a three-year projection is standard. For internal planning and decision-making, a rolling 12-month model updated quarterly is usually more useful than a static three-year document. We will advise on the appropriate horizon based on what the projection is actually for — there is no single right answer.
Stop planning on gut feeling alone.
