refimprove date May 2009 A financial forecast is normally an estimate of future financial outcomes for a company or country for futures and currency markets . Using historical internal accounting and sales data, in addition to external market and economic indicators, a financial forecast is an economist s best guess of what will happen to a company in financial terms over a given time period which is usually one year. See Financial modeling . Arguably, the most difficult aspect of preparing a financial forecast is predicting revenue. Future costs can be estimated by using historical accounting data variable costs are also a function of sales. Unlike a financial plan or a budget a financial forecast doesn t have to be used as a planning document. Outside analysts can use a financial forecast to estimate a company s success in the coming year.
