Product Description as reviewed
by PC World in the article* "Top-21 Add-ons"
FastCast For Ventures easily does what all successful
businesses do; it prepares financial forecasts for twelve monthly
periods, four quarterly periods, or five annual periods with supporting
schedules and graphs to satisfy any inquiring reader.
FastCast For Ventures is a financial forecasting program for all
businesses large and small no matter what product or service they
provide. It is equally useful for existing companies that need
to forecast their future financial needs and start-up companies
seeking capital from banks or venture capital organizations. FastCast
calculates cash and other financial needs five years into the
future based on any assumptions about the future you make. If
you change one assumption changes are automatically made in all
future forecasted balance sheets, statements of income and retained
earnings, and statements of cash flow. Changes are also immediately
reflected in supporting schedules and graphs of significant financial
ratios.
Many companies project future financial needs by using esoteric
economic models. These models are widely available but they often
ignore the interplay between financial components. They produce
pretty charts and graphs but do not display real time forecasts
in the format financial people are accustomed to seeing. FastCast
is gimmick free. Financial forecasts are presented in generally
accepted financial statement formats. Readable, coherent, financial
forecasts into the future are essential to the survival of any
business.
FastCast For Ventures was developed by a certified public accountant
and certified financial planner with more than thirty years of
practical experience. Millions of dollars have been raised based
on forecasts utilizing the principles incorporated into the program.
FastCast combines the power and convenience of the personal computer
with accepted forecasting techniques. The result is a fast and
accurate way to peer into your business financial future. You
will know when and how much money you will need to meet your growth
objectives and when and how you will be able to repay the debt
or provide a satisfactory return to investors.
FastCast is based on "turnovers", an expression familiar to most
financial forecasters. Before entering hard data the program asks
you enter turnover periods (in days) for accounts receivable, inventory,
accounts payable, accrued payroll, and accrued expenses. For instance
if you turn over your accounts receivable six times a year you will
enter 60 in the "Days sales in receivables" category. FastCast provides
flexibility for seasonal businesses. For instance a business with
high sales in the summer months may have a greater number of days
sales on the books at the end of July, August, and September than
it does in January. FastCast allows you to project financial needs
on a monthly basis as your business grows or sales vary for other
reasons.
After entering the beginning balance sheet and assumptions regarding
the future you then proceed to enter income and expenses you expect
to incur on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis depending on the
module you elect to use. You can also enter assumptions about acquisition
and disposition of fixed assets, and distributions to investors.
FastCast will also calculate federal and state income taxes if you
so elect. The end product is a potpourri of financial data that
can be used to guide your business. The following is a list of financial
data automatically produced by FastCast:
Balance Sheets: FastCast prepares balance sheets that reflect your
financial condition at the end of each forecasted period.
Statements of Income and Retained Earnings: FastCast prepares statements
of income and retained earnings that reflect your financial progress
for each forecasted period.
Stockholders' Equity: FastCast prepares statements of stockholders'
equity that reflect the changes in equity from the end of each forecasted
period to the end of each succeeding forecasted period.
Statements of Cash Flow: FastCast prepares statements of cash flow
reconciling the changes in the cash balance at the end of each forecasted
period to the end of each succeeding forecasted period.
FastCast prepares supporting schedules to support key components of the forecasted balance sheets and statements of income and retained earnings:
- Sales and Cost of Sales
- Operating Expenses
- Operating Expenses
- Long Term Debt
- Fixed and Intangible Assets
- Sales of Fixed Assets
- Income Taxes
FastCast has a unique tax computation feature. You can elect to
have the template compute income taxes applicable to each forecasted
period or you can elect not to have taxes computed. With this feature
you can select the best form of business entity to suit your business
needs. You can see what future financial statements will look like
as a "C" corporation, or an "S" corporation or partnership at the
touch of a button.
Key Ratio Calculations: With no additional effort FastCast computes the following key ratios:
- Debt to Equity
- Times Interest Earned
- Net Working Capital
- Working Capital To Assets
- Current Ratio
- Quick Ratio
- Days Sales Outstanding
- Inventory Turnover (month end)
- Return On Sales
- Return On Total Assets
- Return On Equity
FastCast also prepares the following bonus presentations:
- Forecasted Balance Sheets (As % of Total Assets)
- Forecasted Statement of Income (As % of Sales)
- Forecaasted Statements of Cash Flow (As % of Cash provided from Operations)
- Sales and Cost of Sales (As % of Sales)
- Expenses (As a % of Sales)
FastCast automatically prepares the following graphs. You can choose the ones you want to include in your presentation:
- Debt to Equity
- Income Statements
- Returns on Sales, Assets, and Equity
- Working Capital to Assets
- Current Ratio
- Quick Ratio
FastCast For Ventures is an excellent investment for any business
large or small, new or old. FastCast builds forecasted financial
statements in an organized and concise manner. There is no better
program to prepare financial forecasts for internal use or external
presentation. The beauty of the program is the ease of making changes.
Arithmetic calculations are eliminated forever. Create as many scenarios
as you like by merely changing one or more variable assumptions.
Run FastCast over and over until you arrive at a forecast you consider
achievable. FastCast is a program that will pay dividends for years
to come.
