MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTS AND BOOKKEEPING

A combination of efficient bookkeeping and management accounts is the best way to steer your business and increase your profitability.  It is also very handy for those individuals who are VAT-registered.  Remember, you must be VAT registered if your turnover is over £90,000 a year and you need to submit a VAT return every quarter.

Digital accounting can make bookkeeping more efficient while giving you greater control and visibility over your finances. It also enables us to produce meaningful management accounts that help you understand how your business is performing and where attention is needed. Rather than simply recording what has already happened, management accounts give you useful information to help you plan ahead and make informed decisions.

Management accounts are typically produced monthly or quarterly and can include:

  • A balance sheet
  • A profit and loss account (income statement)
  • A cash flow forecast

‍

Together, these reports give you a clearer picture of where your profit is being generated, how your cash is moving through the business and whether your current performance is aligned with your plans. A cash flow forecast can also provide early warning of potential funding or cash-flow pressures, giving you time to take action rather than reacting when problems arise.

These vital management accounts allow you to:

  • Identify and report on key performance indicators that drive your business.
  • Compare actual performance against budgets and forecasts.
  • Provide meaningful management information to lenders and investors.
  • Monitor costs, including your break-even turnover level.
  • Identify potential problem areas and take action before they become more significant.
  • Identify and strengthen profitable areas of your business.

We can also help you understand and use your management accounts effectively, so that the information becomes a practical tool for planning, improving performance and supporting sustainable business growth.
