If you’re new to budgeting, you may not know where to begin. A budget is crucial to understanding and directing your financial flow. Whether you’ve struggled to make one in the past, or are new to financial planning, these tips can help you out:

1. Preparing your Budget
Start off by creating specific timelines for each step along the way to create a sense of urgency, which is important for any service business. You may want to involve your management team for input on specific budget numbers for every section of your business. While at it, be sure to access any historical data for building your business plan and budget.

2. Getting Buy-ins
Budgeting is much more than just crunching the numbers. You are also budgeting people, so you need to hold a meeting with your staff to get buy-ins. Let them know what you have in mind for business, or them, going forward, and any other goal you have.

3. Building the Budget
Since the budget isn’t a business plan in any way, you need to be sure it provides direction for your next financial year. It helps you set goals, and be able to measure them in due time. It becomes your daily guide that leads you to your long-term goals.

4. Budget Implementation
A budget you can’t implement would be of no use to your business. It requires you to set realistic goals that can be achieved within a given timeframe. You should also be ready to make any adjustments along the way since some goals may change, or unforeseen eventualities happen.

5. Budget Execution
If you know your business has enough financial muscle to stay the course, you can begin to execute the budget. It’s during the execution that you review the cost-benefit analysis, decide how best to achieve your goals, and coordinate and communicate the budget.
