Sound familiar?
Still guessing what next year looks like?
Most Manchester business owners have a rough sense of where things are heading — but not much beyond that. Without a proper financial projection, decisions about hiring, pricing, or investment get made on instinct rather than evidence. That tends to work until it does not.
- No clear view of revenue or costs three to six months ahead
- A lender or investor asking for forecasts you do not have ready
- Significant decisions made on gut feel because the numbers are not mapped out
What having clear projections looks like
A well-built financial projection gives you a reference point for every significant decision. Revenue targets, cost assumptions, and cash flow all mapped out — so you can tell whether a plan makes sense before you commit to it.
- Revenue, costs, and margins forecasted months ahead in plain English
- Lender and investor-ready projections prepared when you need them
- Scenarios tested before you commit — decisions backed by numbers, not instinct
- Fixed fee agreed upfront — no surprise invoices for forecast updates

What makes the difference here
There are plenty of accountants in Manchester. Here is what sets Edward Harris apart when it comes to financial projections.
Projections You Can Actually Use
Financial projections are only useful if you can understand them. Every forecast from Edward Harris is written in plain English, with assumptions clearly explained. You will not receive a spreadsheet you need an interpreter for.
Kept Current, Not Just Produced Once
A projection built in January is usually wrong by March. Proactive year-round support means your forecasts are revisited as your business changes — so the numbers stay relevant. No waiting until year-end to find out whether the plan held.
An Accountant Who Asks the Right Questions
Building a useful projection requires understanding how your business actually works — your margins, your seasonality, your plans. Hasan takes time to understand your situation before putting numbers to it, which is how forecasts end up reflecting reality rather than wishful thinking.
Up and running in four steps
The first conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Most clients are set up and working within a week of getting in touch.
Get in touch
Call, email, or use the contact form — a reply comes the same day. Tell us roughly where you are and what you need. No lengthy forms to fill in before speaking to anyone.
Free initial conversation
We discuss your business, your current numbers, and what you want to know. You will leave the call with a clear picture of what a financial projection would cover and what it would cost — no pressure to proceed.
We build your projections
Once you are on board, Hasan works through your numbers and builds the forecast. You do not need to have everything perfectly organised — that is partly what the process sorts out.
Know where you stand
You receive a clear set of projections you can use for planning, lending conversations, or simply making better decisions. From that point forward, forecasts are updated as part of your ongoing support — treated as a live tool, not a one-off job.
“We have been working with Hasan for almost a year. He’s been very helpful providing us with knowledge as new business owners. It’s great we can WhatsApp for general queries, making communication more efficient.”
Things people usually ask us first
What does a financial projection from Edward Harris actually include?
A projection typically covers a revenue forecast, cost assumptions, gross and net margin estimates, and a month-by-month cash flow model. The timeframe depends on the purpose — twelve to eighteen months for internal planning, three to five years for lender or investor use. Every assumption is documented so the figures can be revisited when circumstances change.
How much does financial projections work cost?
Pricing depends on the scope and complexity of your business. A straightforward one-off projection for a small business is quoted as a fixed fee agreed before any work begins. Ongoing forecast updates are included within advisory support packages. There are no surprise invoices mid-project.
My current numbers are in a bit of a state — can you still build projections from them?
Yes, and this is not unusual. Most clients do not arrive with everything perfectly organised. If your bookkeeping needs tidying first, that can be addressed as part of the engagement. Building projections from incomplete data is possible — it just requires being transparent about the assumptions being used and where the gaps are.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. There is no minimum term. If you need a one-off projection, that is what you get. For clients on ongoing advisory packages, you can leave with reasonable notice. You will always leave with clean, up-to-date files regardless of when you go.
Can the projections be used for a bank loan application or investor pitch?
Yes, and this is one of the most common reasons Manchester businesses come to us for projections work. Lenders and investors want to see assumptions clearly stated and numbers that hold up under scrutiny. The projections are built in a format they expect, with supporting schedules included where required.
How does financial projections work fit alongside tax planning?
The two sit naturally together. A forecast shows what profits are expected to look like, which informs what can be done about them. If tax planning is something you want to look at alongside projections, that can be built into the conversation from the start rather than treated as a separate exercise later.
Stop guessing what next year looks like. Let’s map it out.
