The problems we are usually asked to solve
Statutory accounts tell you what happened a year ago. Management accounts tell you what is happening now. They are the difference between steering a business and reading about it afterwards, and they are the first thing any serious lender or investor asks to see.
Profit on paper, no cash in the bank
Growth, stock and slow-paying customers drain cash even when the P&L looks healthy.
How we fix itWe add a cash flow statement and a rolling forecast so you see the squeeze coming.
A funder wants a monthly pack you do not have
Banks and investors increasingly require monthly reporting as a condition of funding.
How we fix itWe build a standard lender-ready pack that meets covenant and investor reporting needs.
The numbers differ in every system
Sales shows one figure, finance another and the bank a third, so nobody trusts any of them.
How we fix itWe reconcile to a single source of truth and agree one definition for each key metric.

Questions we are often asked
How quickly can you deliver monthly accounts?
Once your records are up to date, we typically deliver within ten working days of month-end and can agree a shorter timetable for funder reporting.
Can you work from our existing bookkeeping?
Yes. We review the ledgers first, correct anything that would distort the reports and then build the pack on top of your existing system.
Do management accounts replace statutory accounts?
No. They serve a different purpose. Management accounts guide decisions and funder reporting, while statutory accounts satisfy Companies House and HMRC. We prepare both from the same records.
