How to Align Sales and Finance Forecasts: Shared Definitions, the Reconciliation Bridge and HubSpot Setup

How to align sales and finance forecasts: why bookings and recognised revenue differ, the bridge that reconciles them, and the HubSpot fields it needs.

Read it
One annual contract, three close months: the booking lands on the close date, the revenue over the next twelve monthsA $120,000 one-year contract is drawn three times, closing in July, August and September. In each row a diamond marks the close month, where HubSpot's forecast places the whole $120,000. Revenue follows at $10,000 a month for twelve months, starting the month after the close. The third-quarter columns, July to September, are shaded. The contract closing in July contributes August and September to the third quarter, $20,000. The contract closing in August contributes September, $10,000. The contract closing in September contributes nothing to the third quarter: all twelve of its months fall between October and the following September.ONE $120,000 ONE-YEAR CONTRACT, THREE CLOSE MONTHSQ3Q4Q1 next yearQ2 next yearQ3 next yearJulAugSepOctNovDecJanFebMarAprMayJunJulAugSepQ3 revenueCloses in JulyBooked: $120,000$20,000Closes in AugustBooked: $120,000$10,000Closes in SeptemberBooked: $120,000$0Booking: HubSpot's forecast places the whole $120,000 on the close dateRevenue in Q3Revenue in later quarters, $10,000 a month
