Advisory HQ
A forecast that moves
with the deposit curve.
We build your forecast from the deposit curve, enrollment by session, and camper weeks, then keep it current as families register, so you know by February what July will look like.
- Who it is for
- Owners who want to know where the season is heading before it arrives.
- On its own?
- Yes. You do not have to move your accounting to us to do this work with us.

Built from camp numbers
Sessions, deposits, and camper weeks.
A camp budget built from last year plus a percentage misses how camp actually fills. We start from enrollment by session and the pace deposits usually arrive, then build staff, food, and program costs from there.
Kept current
Updated as the season fills.
Every month we compare deposits and enrollment to where they usually are by now, and update the forecast. If a session is filling slowly, you know in time to do something about it.
How it differs from Fractional CFO
The forecast, without the seat at the table.
Budgeting and Forecasting is the model and the monthly update. Fractional CFO is a senior person using that model with you to make decisions on pricing, growth, and financing.
Many camps start with the forecast. When the decisions get bigger, the same numbers carry straight into Fractional CFO work.
What the forecast tracks
Four numbers, every month.
01
Deposits to date
Against where they usually are at this point in the year.
02
Enrollment by session
Which sessions are full, which are filling, which need help.
03
Camper weeks
The number that drives staffing, food, and revenue.
04
Cash ahead
The months between now and opening day, and the low point.
