A company recently asked us to convert their basic profit and loss budget, which they had prepared in an Excel spreadsheet, into a full financial forecast with cash flows and balance sheets. Utilizing our proprietary software package, Up Your Cash Flow XT2-2009, we mapped their numbers from their Excel document and into our program and ran the analysis.
