01Power BI · Management reporting

Urban Table Dubai — Power BI decision dashboard

02FP&A · Liquidity planning

13-week cash-flow forecasting framework

Leadership needed a forward-looking view of liquidity across payroll, suppliers, operating commitments and owner funding requirements.

Approach

Designed a rolling cash-flow structure with weekly receipts, committed outflows, scenario assumptions, funding gaps and clear ownership of updates.

Business value

Earlier visibility of cash pressure points and a more disciplined basis for payment prioritisation and funding decisions.
