Creating clarity for confident decisions
Cashflow modelling is one of the most powerful tools in financial planning. It turns abstract goals into tangible numbers, helping you see how your finances might evolve over time - and what decisions you can make today to shape a more confident future.
At its core, cashflow modelling is about mapping your income, expenses, assets, and liabilities across your lifetime.
Cashflow modelling helps answer key questions:
By exploring different scenarios, you can test the impact of major decisions before you make them, bringing clarity and control to complex choices.
If you’d like to understand how financial forecasting could bring clarity to your long-term planning, start with a conversation.
Financial forecasting brings your plan to life by modelling real-world factors such as inflation, investment returns, tax changes, and life events. It’s not about predicting the future with certainty, but about creating a evidence-based framework to test choices and understand how different decisions could shape your long-term outcomes.
At Chadwicks, we use cashflow modelling to make complex financial situations easier to understand. It supports succession planning, pension strategy and intergenerational wealth transfer, helping you quantify future liabilities and opportunities.
We use “what if” forecasting to test real life scenarios – early retirement, market downturns, or changes in spending habits, so you can plan with confidence, not guesswork.

Rob Smith
Chadwicks has made it easy for me to take a hands-off, long-term approach to my investments, which suits me perfectly. I feel well-informed through their regular email update . The team is flexible and accommodating when it comes to scheduling reviews, and while I haven’t taken full advantage of their webinars or social events yet, but hope to soon when my schedule allows.
Alex Robinson
When I set out to find an investment adviser, I thought I needed someone who could talk numbers. The first adviser I met did just that, for two hours straight. But it felt transactional, not personal. Then I spoke to Richard at Chadwicks. We spent two hours talking about my goals, my life, my family, what I wanted, not just my money. The conversation made it clear, I didn’t just want someone to manage my portfolio, I wanted someone who listened. Richard did. That’s why the choice was obvious.
Alison Beech
From the beginning, Chadwicks delivered exactly what was promised, no surprises, just solid, personal service. It’s the kind of firm where you feel like an individual, not a number, and the culture reflects that. Communication is spot on, relevant, timely, and never overwhelming. I trust them to manage my investments without needing to check in constantly, and I’ve even recommended them to friends. I’ve recently asked for help with my daughter financial planning, and I really appreciate their willingness to support us both, even though she’s not yet a client.

Importantly, cashflow modelling isn’t a one-off exercise. Life changes – and so should your plan. That’s why we revisit your model regularly, adjusting for new priorities, market conditions, and legislation.
Ultimately, cashflow modelling and financial forecasting give you a clearer view of your financial journey. They help you move from uncertainty to understanding – and from reactive decisions to proactive planning.
If you’d like to see how forecasting fits within your wider financial planning process, our team can guide you through the steps – from visualising your future income to creating a plan that adapts as life evolves.
What is cashflow modelling?
Cashflow modelling is a visual way to show how your income, spending, and assets might change over time. It helps you see whether you’re on track to meet your financial goals – and what to adjust if not.
How does financial forecasting differ from cashflow modelling?
Cashflow modelling is the engine: it maps money in and money out over time – income, spending, assets, liabilities – to show whether your plan is sustainable. It’s essentially a structured projection of your financial life.
Financial forecasting is the weather layered on top: inflation, market returns, tax changes, interest rates, big life events. It adds the external forces that influence those cashflows and tests how resilient your plan is under different conditions.
How accurate is financial forecasting?
No forecast can predict the future perfectly. But by testing different scenarios -such as market changes, early retirement, or higher spending – you can prepare for uncertainty and make informed choices.
How often should my cashflow forecast be updated?
We recommend reviewing it annually, or sooner if your circumstances change. Life evolves, and your plan should evolve with it.
