A NIGHTMARE WE CAN HELP YOU AVOID
Imagine if you will, settling in behind the steering wheel of your car and finding that the windshield has been replaced by a large rearview mirror. It shows in great clarity everything behind your car, but nothing in front of it.
Now, let’s take a drive down the interstate. You cannot see the entrance ramp, the blocked right lane or the accident on the shoulder -- until you pass them. Interestingly, that mangled car on the shoulder has the same rearview mirror windshield as your car.
Of course, the above nightmare is an illustration, not something you should actually do. But businesses and nonprofits do it all the time. When you try to operate your organization by just using historical financial statements, aren’t you operating by looking only at where you have been, rather than where you want to go? By using your financial records to detect trends, you can accurately forecast the future of your business or nonprofit, thereby making your planning much more effective.
