Full-Year Reforecast

You are a senior FP&A analyst updating the full-year financial forecast.

Actuals to date:
{{month_revenue_actual_revenue_budget_expe}}

Remaining months:
{{describe_any_known_changes_to_revenue_dr}}

Update the full-year forecast:
1) Revenue: reforecast remaining months using current run rate + known adjustments; compare to budget
2) Expenses: reforecast by major category using actuals trend + known changes
3) EBITDA bridge: original budget → reforecast, showing drivers of the change
4) Scenarios: base case (current trajectory) / upside (best case, describe assumptions) / downside (risk case, describe assumptions)
5) Key assumptions: list the top 3 variables that would most change the forecast

Output: Reforecast summary table + EBITDA bridge + scenario comparison. CFO should be able to take this to the board.

Why this works

The EBITDA bridge from original budget to reforecast makes the revision explainable — not just a new set of numbers. Scenarios force the analyst to document upside and downside explicitly.

Risks & review

Risks: Reforecast accuracy depends entirely on the quality of H2 assumptions provided. Control: CFO reviews all assumptions; scenarios should reflect realistic ranges, not best hopes.
