Three Excel templates for everyday finance work: a 13-week cash flow forecast, monthly management reporting and a budget vs. actual comparison with forecast. Ready-made formulas, sample values and instructions. Free, no sign-up, direct download. The files are in German.
Every file starts with an instructions sheet (“Anleitung”). Yellow cells with blue text are inputs, everything else calculates automatically. The sample values are made up and only show what it looks like.
The templates work best in a fixed rhythm: update the cash flow forecast every Monday, and the reporting and budget vs. actual comparison after every month-end close.
The templates are deliberately lean. If you need more, DerStartupCFO, also run by Sebastian Janus, offers more detailed models. And if you would rather hand the work over, nugrow sends you a suitable profile within 24 hours.
Yes. No form, no email address, no subscription. You download the file directly and may use and adapt it freely within your own company.
No. You only enter numbers in the yellow cells. Totals, warnings and KPIs calculate automatically. Each file explains step by step what to do on its instructions sheet. There are no macros. The files are in German.
If liquidity is an issue, the 13-week cash flow forecast. If investors or the bank want regular numbers, the management reporting. If there is a budget nobody tracks, budget vs. actual. Not sure? The Finance Maturity Check shows you the biggest gap.
The nugrow templates are lean working tools for day-to-day operations. DerStartupCFO offers more detailed models, such as a 12-month cash flow controlling sheet and an integrated financial model with balance sheet and cash flow.
