Precanto’s Predicted Financial Statements 

Precanto harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to deliver precise financial predictions for your Income Statement, Cash Flow, and Balance Sheet with little to no manual effort required. Precanto's Predicted Financial Statements offer an on-demand, comprehensive view of one’s financial situation, enabling FP&A analysts to make informed, proactive decisions.

Predicted Income Statements allow users to anticipate favorability or unfavourability and evaluate potential options to either opportunistically invest or course correct to achieve intended revenues and expenses. With this foresight, businesses can strategically plan for growth and profitability within the requirements of budgets and communicated earnings. This predictive capability allows companies to allocate resources effectively, prioritize investments, and align their strategies with financial goals. It also provides a framework for performance evaluation, enabling businesses to measure actual outcomes against predicted targets, refine their strategies, and continuously improve financial performance. 

Precanto further enhances this process by breaking down the numbers into Actual, Committed, and Predicted categories. Actuals represent figures that have already occurred, Committed numbers are those contractually obligated with limited flexibility, and Predicted figures offer insights that can be used to make course corrections or trade-offs. This structured approach enables more precise financial planning and strategic decision-making.

Predicted Balance Sheets provide anticipated assets, liabilities, and equity, assisting businesses in assessing future financial stability and capital structure. By understanding how their financial position is likely to evolve, businesses can plan for future financing needs, manage debt levels, ensure compliance with covenants, and optimize their asset allocation. This proactive approach to financial management enhances risk assessment, supports compliance with regulatory requirements, and builds confidence among investors, creditors, and other stakeholders. It enables businesses to make strategic decisions that align with their long-term objectives and maximize shareholder value.

Predicted Cash Flow Statements offer predictions of cash inflows and outflows, supporting effective cash management and ensuring that businesses are well-prepared to meet liquidity needs. With Precanto’s predicted cash flows, businesses can avoid cash shortages, optimize their working capital, and seize investment opportunities without disrupting operations. This foresight enables better planning for both short-term and long-term financial stability.
