Dashboard/Financial statements/Financial modelling

Financial modelling templates

Multi-year projection models (1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years) with the same statement structure as IAS 1 and IAS 7-style cash flows. Sector presets set management-planning assumptions (CIMA-style cost and working-capital drivers). Select a time horizon to open the model.

Presentation follows common IFRS-style structures (for example IAS 1 for the primary statements and IAS 7 for cash flows) when your chart of accounts and line mappings are set up for that purpose. Outputs depend on your data, mappings, and judgments; they are not audited financial statements and are not a substitute for professional accounting advice.

Industry preset

The three statements use the same IAS 1 / IAS 7-style layout for every sector. Industry presets only set default drivers for planning and sensitivity (management accounting — similar to CIMA cost and working-capital thinking), not audited statutory numbers. Data prepopulated from "General" preset.

Presentation follows common IFRS-style structures (for example IAS 1 for the primary statements and IAS 7 for cash flows) when your chart of accounts and line mappings are set up for that purpose. Outputs depend on your data, mappings, and judgments; they are not audited financial statements and are not a substitute for professional accounting advice.

Load assumptions from your financial statements (trial balance / P&L / SFP / cash flow) for a period. Same period as in Financial statements.

Assumptions guidelines

How to populate each assumption for the model.

Show guidelines
  • Base revenue (Year 0)(Currency)

    Use prior-year actual revenue or management’s budget for the first year. If using revenue lines, ensure the sum of all streams equals total revenue. Management view (CIMA-style planning): baseline for budgets and variance analysis.

  • Revenue growth %(%)

    Use management forecast, strategic plan, or industry benchmark. Consider volume and price; keep consistent with market and capacity. Supports long-range planning and scenario stress tests.

  • Cost of sales %(% of revenue)

    Historical gross margin or budget. Vary by product mix and input costs; benchmark against peers where relevant. Classify direct vs indirect costs for internal margin decisions (management accounting).

  • Operating expenses %(% of revenue)

    Sum of salaries, rent, marketing, admin, etc. Use budget or prior-year ratio; can be built from opex lines by category. Useful for controllable vs fixed-cost framing in management reports.

  • Finance cost %(% of revenue)

    Interest as % of revenue. Link to debt schedule and average borrowing rate; use drawn debt and applicable rate. Align with financing cash outflows in liquidity planning.

  • Tax rate %(%)

    Applicable statutory corporate tax rate (e.g. Uganda 30%). Adjust for incentives or losses if modelled separately. Statutory rate — distinct from transfer pricing and deferred tax (IAS 12) in full compliance work.

  • Depreciation % of revenue(% of revenue)

    Derive from capex, useful lives and opening PP&E. Keep aligned with depreciation supporting schedule. Ties to IAS 16-style charges in statutory accounts when policies match.

  • Capex % of revenue(% of revenue)

    Planned capital spend as % of revenue. Use budget or maintenance + growth capex; link to depreciation schedule. Cash planning for investing activities (IAS 7).

  • Receivables days(Days)

    Days sales outstanding (DSO). Use historical collection period or target; consider payment terms and credit policy. Core working-capital driver (CIMA performance).

  • Payables days(Days)

    Days payables outstanding (DPO). Use historical or supplier terms; align with working capital policy. Pairs with receivables and inventory days for the cash conversion cycle.

  • Inventory days(Days)

    Days inventory held. Use historical or target turnover; adjust for seasonality or supply chain changes. For IAS 2 inventory, management uses the same days for throughput planning.

  • Opening cash(Currency)

    Cash and cash equivalents at the start of Year 0. Use latest balance sheet or closing actuals. Opening position for the cash flow bridge.

  • Opening equity(Currency)

    Total equity at the start of Year 0. Use latest balance sheet; include share capital and retained earnings. Anchor for statement of changes in equity (IAS 1).
