Managing Forecasts Vs Actuals

Moving from feasibility to live project management

Updated this week

When a project moves from feasibility into live management, the question is: what does Feasly handle, and what falls to your accountant?


πŸš€ Moving from Feasibility to Live Project

When a project gets the green light:

  • Duplicate your feasibility (e.g. rename it Live Project) to lock assumptions.

  • Update sales, costs, funding, and timing as the project progresses.

  • Compare your original feasibility side-by-side with your live project in the Summary section.

  • Export Project & GST Cashflows in Excel anytime to reforecast or share with your accountant.


πŸ”„ Feasly = Live Project Visibility

πŸ’‘ Feasly + Accountant

πŸ“Š Accountant = Structure & Tax Optimisation

Your accountant (and accounting software) adds the financial and compliance lens Feasly doesn’t cover.

What your accountant does:

  • Map chart of accounts in accounting software.

  • Apply entity structures (company, trust, JV, etc.).

  • Handle GST credits, depreciation, and tax offsets.

  • Apply corporate tax rates at project or entity level.

  • Manage compliance: BAS, ATO lodgements, statutory reporting.

  • Reconcile Margin Scheme & GST adjustments on settlement.

  • Perform cost reconciliation (invoices, variations, expense coding).

  • Finalise equity distributions and statutory accounts.

Purpose: Compliance and tax efficiency.
​Output: Finalised accounts and profit distributions.
