Sage Forecast Training

About the Course

Hunters Solutions provide either bespoke or formal Sage Forecast training courses.  The course can either be conducted on your premises or at our dedicated training centre. When attending our Sage Forecast training course you will be provided with a training manual, buffet lunch, and a completion certificate at the end of the course. All our courses are fully interactive and each course tutor is a fully qualified consultant.

The Sage Forecast training course gives you the tools needed for creating your business plan and cash flow forecasts, irrespective of whether you use Sage 50 or Sage 200 Accounts.

There is however a real benefit to using Sage Forecasting with Sage 50 Accounts, as you can hotlink your actual data to your forecast for instant variance reporting.

You can also hotlink to live Excel data that may be produced by other departments enabling your Sage Forecast to be instantly refreshed each time it is opened.

Once created, Sage Forecasting can make the task of forecasting so much more straightforward and flexible, and as the data is presented via hardcoded reports, all forecasts have 100% integrity guaranteed – unlike an Excel forecast.

• Learn how to create a new forecast from scratch
