Rolling forecasts, annual budgets, scenario planning, and variance analysis built by trained offshore analysts – so your firm delivers forward-looking advisory, not just historical reporting.
Firms know forecasting and budgeting is high-value advisory work. But without dedicated analyst capacity, it never gets prioritized – and clients go elsewhere for forward-looking guidance.
Your firm delivers historical financials but clients are asking "what's next?" – and you don't have the bandwidth to answer.
Clients want forecasts but your team is buried in compliance. You can't justify hiring a full-time analyst for advisory work.
Budgets are built once in January and never revisited. By Q2, they're irrelevant – but nobody has time to update them.
Every forecast is built from scratch with no consistent methodology across clients – making it impossible to scale.
From annual budget builds to rolling forecast updates and board-ready packages – handled by trained offshore analysts inside your systems.
Complete annual budget models built from historical data, growth assumptions, and client-specific drivers.
12–18 month rolling forecasts updated monthly with actuals, keeping projections current and actionable.
Best-case, worst-case, and base-case models so clients can stress-test decisions before committing.
Monthly budget-to-actual variance reports with written commentary explaining drivers and recommending action.
Detailed revenue and cost projections using historical trends, seasonality patterns, and growth assumptions.
Polished presentation decks and executive summaries designed for board meetings, investor updates, and lender reviews.
A structured onboarding process that gets your offshore analysts delivering forecasts and budgets fast.

A senior financial analyst in the U.S. costs $95K–$120K in salary alone. Add benefits, software licenses, management overhead, and training – you're looking at $130K+ fully loaded before they build their first forecast model.

Pinnacle's clients kept asking for forecasts and budgets, but the firm had zero capacity to deliver. Partners were too busy with compliance work to build projection models, and hiring a U.S. analyst wasn't in the budget. Two offshore analysts built standardized forecast templates, and the firm now delivers rolling forecasts as a paid advisory service to 40 clients – turning a cost center into a $52K revenue stream.
"We went from telling clients 'we don't do forecasts' to selling them as a $1,500/quarter engagement. The offshore team made it possible."
