What stays with you afterwards
Profit per line of business
Counted not "for the company as a whole" but by line, by person, by client — the way you actually make decisions.
Cash now and cash ahead
How much there is, how much is coming in and going out. A cash gap is visible before it happens.
A report people read
One page in plain language, regularly. Not a forty-page spreadsheet opened once a year.
When people come to us with this
People start management accounts not out of love for spreadsheets but out of one of these conversations.
You do not know what earns
Revenue is there, the money runs out. It often turns out the most troublesome line brings in the least — but you can only see that by counting it separately.
Cash gaps arrive without warning
There was money, then there was none, and nothing to pay with. A gap stops being a surprise exactly when you start seeing it in advance.
It is all in one spreadsheet, and it fell behind
While the spreadsheet is kept up and decisions are made from it, it works. We come in where it has stopped keeping up.
Partners keep asking for numbers
And every time it is a small operation. A regular report removes the question and disciplines the conversation at the same time.
A clear order, no surprises
1 · A conversation
Half an hour about your business: what you do, which tax regime you are on, who keeps the books today and where exactly it hurts. Without this any review turns into a form.
2 · The review
We look at what is actually there: documents, the ledger, the deadlines, the loose ends. You get the picture and an order of work — what we take on at once, what gets fixed along the way, what the partner accountant handles.
3 · The work and a short summary
We work through the order, and once a period you get a short summary in plain words: what was done, what is coming, what looks odd. Not "all fine" but a list.
The figure is named in a quote for your task, once it is clear how many documents come in per month, which tax regime you are on and what state the books are in. There is no price list here on purpose: a "from" figure without the scope behind it is bait rather than a price, and you cannot compare two offers by it.
What we do ourselves and what we do with partners
We do this ourselves
The management side of our own platform is live: recording operations, cuts by line of business, regular reports to the owner. We steer by these numbers ourselves.
The conversation about WHAT to count. Half the value of management accounts appears at this step: until it is settled what a "line of business" and what "profit" mean in your case, any table will be arguable.
We build this out for you
Connecting your data sources — bank, till, CRM, accounting software — depends on what they are: sometimes a day of work, sometimes a month. We name the time after the review.
We run this with a partner
The statutory side — the books, taxes, filings — runs together with the partner accountant; management accounts do not replace it and cannot.
We do not provide audit assurance over the accounts: it is a licensed activity.
The bookkeeping itself is done by our partner accountant, and we say so plainly rather than hiding it in a footnote. We remain your single point of contact: we pick the person, set the task, watch the deadlines and answer to you for the result. The contract names the performer honestly — no "we do everything in-house".
What people usually ask
Is this not the same as bookkeeping?
Everything is in a spreadsheet. Is that bad?
Where does the data come from?
Can we take this without the bookkeeping?
Let us look at your task
Tell us about the business: what you do, which tax regime you are on, who keeps the books today and what you want to change. We answer during working hours and say where it is honest to start in your case.
We call back during working hours. No figures, statements or documents are needed at this step — words are enough for the first conversation. The company field is optional; if you fill it in, we look up the public records beforehand and come prepared.
