Sample Answer
At my previous company I inherited forecasting for eight concurrent construction projects with wildly different burn rates and we were missing cash-call deadlines about 25% of the time. I built a rolling 13-week cash forecast in Power BI fed by a normalized project ledger and implemented variance-to-plan analytics using moving averages and Monte Carlo scenarios for riskier projects. I also standardized invoice timing templates and trained four PMs on entering spend drivers correctly. Within one quarter we reduced forecast variance from ±18% to ±6%, avoided two short-term financing draws (saving roughly $45k in interest), and improved on-time cash-call submissions to 98%. The PMs appreciated the transparency and adoption stayed high because reports were automated.
