How to Use
Written documention on this is coming, at the moment consult the video above, which covers how the actuals section in the

Common Modifications
You can use the model with or without using historical financials, it's purely optional. Initial setup to use actual results from your accounting software typically takes one hour. Once the model is setup to use actual results, it should take 15 minutes to roll over the forecast each month with new financials.
