ANNUAL BUDGET PREPARATION SERVICE

An annual budget is a key too for governing and managing your business. A well-planned, accurate budget will help you set appropriate housing charges, analyze and control spending, and meet your targets for special projects and savings. Government funding agencies review annual budgets to ensure your co-op is meeting the terms of lending and operating agreements. Boards, Committees, and members use budgets as tools to guide financial decisions.

Cana provides a variety of flexible services to help. We assist by providing planning tools and accounting data, sharing and coordinating the budget preparation work, analyzing costs and their impact on housing charges, advising on subsidy management, providing options and alternatives, and helping to present and explain your budget to members and outside agencies.

LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING

As you plan for the long term financial success of your business, you may be considering the potential impact of borrowing money for building retrofits or repairs. Cana can assist you in by preparing long range financial forecasts. We can provide information about financial capacity required to borrow the money you need and review the range of options that are in the best long term interest of your business.
