Test multiple financial scenarios before making decisions

Pro forma statements are most powerful when you can compare different scenarios. LivePlan makes it easy to create, save, and compare up to 10 'what-if' scenarios:

  • Model best-case, worst-case, and expected scenarios
  • Test different pricing strategies or cost structures
  • See how timing changes affect your cash position
  • Evaluate different financing options
  • Compare multiple growth strategies

Each scenario automatically updates all three pro forma statements, giving you a complete financial picture for any potential business decision.

“I started using LivePlan two years ago and I think that it's one of the most amazing tools that I have ever used for forecasting. Not only for that, but you can create a lot of scenarios. I would definitely recommend it.”

Frequently asked questions

What is a pro forma financial statement?

Pro forma financial statements are forward-looking projections that show what your business's finances might look like under specific scenarios. Unlike historical statements, they help you plan for the future, make informed decisions, and show potential investors or lenders where your business is headed.

Which pro forma statements does LivePlan create?

LivePlan automatically generates all three essential pro forma statements: income statement (P&L), balance sheet, and cash flow statement. These comprehensive statements include all the projections banks, investors, and business planning best practices require.

How accurate are pro forma financial statements?

Pro forma statements are projections based on assumptions about the future. LivePlan helps maximize accuracy by providing industry benchmarks, guided inputs, and automatic calculations that eliminate formula errors. The true value comes from testing different scenarios and tracking actual performance against projections.

How long does it take to create pro forma statements in LivePlan?

Most users create their first complete set of pro forma statements in less than 15 minutes. LivePlan's guided forecast builder walks you through the process step-by-step, allowing you to create professional financial projections without spreadsheets or expertise.

Do I need accounting knowledge to use LivePlan for pro forma statements?

No. LivePlan is specifically designed for entrepreneurs and business owners without accounting backgrounds. The guided interface uses simple business terms rather than complex accounting jargon, while still producing professional-quality financial statements.

How does LivePlan's pro forma builder differ from spreadsheet templates?

Unlike static spreadsheet templates, LivePlan automatically performs all calculations, links your statements together, creates professional visualizations, and allows easy scenario comparison. You never have to worry about broken formulas, formatting issues, or version control problems.

How far into the future can I project with LivePlan's pro forma statements?

LivePlan allows you to create pro forma projections for up to five years, with monthly detail for the first year and annual projections thereafter. This range is ideal for both short-term operational planning and long-term strategic forecasting.
