Budgeting & financial planning
Realistic financial forecasting and scenario planning. Stay ahead of your burn rate, avoid surprises and invest at the right time.
Get a grip on your figures. Prepare for the future.
In an economy where uncertainty is the only constant, gut feelings and Excel sheets are no longer enough. Companies that plan strategically today will be tomorrow's winners. Budgeting and financial planning not only give you insight into what is coming financially, but above all, control over how you respond to it. No more reactive firefighting, but proactive course setting. Whether you want to remain stable or pursue ambitious growth plans, insight, flexibility, and preparation make all the difference.
Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with planning
What we do for you
Scenario planning that helps you think ahead: We help you map out and calculate multiple future scenarios. This gives you insight into how external shocks and internal choices can influence your results — and how you can anticipate them. No guesswork, just sound strategy.
Revenue, gross margin, and EBIT forecasts: We build realistic budgets and forecasts tailored to your business. No templates, just methodologies that take into account your growth plans, cost structure, and market position. This gives you figures you can really use to make decisions.
Cash flow forecasting: Accurate cash flow planning helps you avoid surprises. We create models that give you insight into your incoming and outgoing cash flows, so you know when and how much money you need to keep your business running and to invest sustainably.
Cash planning that gives you peace of mind: We analyze how much capital you need for your operations—today and in the coming months. This helps you avoid cash crunches and ensures that you can meet your short-term obligations at any time without jeopardizing your growth plans.
Timing investments right, without disrupting your cash flow: You want to grow. But when is the best time to invest? And in what? We help you align your investment needs with your strategy and cash flow capacity. This allows you to invest in a targeted manner, without upsetting your balance sheet.
Strategic financial insight without the cost of a full-time CFO
Not every fast-growing company needs a full-time CFO right away, but most do need strategic financial support at the moments that matter. With CFO-as-a-Service, you get access to experienced CFOs and controllers who integrate into your business either temporarily or continuously.
They don’t just manage your numbers — they translate them into insights and actions for your management and shareholders. This includes cash flow management, forecasting, budgeting, reporting, cost calculations, funding rounds, mergers, and risk management. You can count on flexible support by the day, week, or month, either on-site or remote, and always backed by the full Unikoo team for added strength and specialized expertise where needed.
We offer top-level financial expertise without the need to hire a full-time CFO.
Why our approach works
For startups, scale-ups and SMEs:
Cost-efficient growth: Save significantly compared to a full-time CFO. You only pay for the time and services you need, with no fixed salary or additional overhead.
Tailored flexibility: You can scale up or down based on your needs. This makes it ideal for rapid growth phases, changing market conditions or temporary peaks in workload.
Access to top-tier expertise: You get a CFO with years of experience without having to hire one yourself. For SMEs and scale-ups, this provides access to high-level financial expertise that used to be out of reach.
Strategic thinking and execution: Our CFOs provide more than just advice. They support critical decisions and help turn plans into real results.
Smarter decisions, sharper insights: You can rely on accurate forecasts and thorough financial analysis. This gives you a constant understanding of how your business is performing and where to make adjustments.
Focus on your core business: We take the financial complexity off your hands so you can fully focus on growth, your customers and innovation.
Risk under control: We proactively identify and manage financial risks so your business remains stable and resilient, even in uncertain times.
