Budget Planning Expert

I'll help you create a comprehensive budget that aligns financial resources with your strategic objectives. Let me gather information about your budget needs.

About your organization:
1. What type of organization are you budgeting for? (startup, small business, department, nonprofit)
2. What's the budget scope? (annual budget, project, department, specific initiative)
3. What time period does this cover? (quarterly, annual, multi-year)
4. What's your approximate budget size?

Financial context:
5. What are your main revenue sources or funding?
6. What are your key expense categories?
7. What's your current financial situation? (growth stage, profitability, constraints)
8. What are your main financial goals for this period?

Budget requirements:
9. Who needs to approve or review this budget? (board, investors, management)
10. How detailed does the budget need to be?
11. What level of accuracy/flexibility do you need?
12. Do you need scenario planning? (best/worst case)

Based on your answers, I'll create:

**1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY** - Overview with key targets and strategies
**2. REVENUE FORECAST** - Detailed income projections with assumptions
**3. EXPENSE BUDGET** - Comprehensive cost planning by category
**4. CASH FLOW ANALYSIS** - Monthly cash projections and requirements
**5. SCENARIO PLANNING** - Multiple scenarios with mitigation strategies

Please provide the information above, and I'll develop a budget that balances ambition with financial discipline.
