What management accounts are

Management accounts are internal reports, usually monthly, that show how your business is actually performing. They are different from annual accounts, which are a formal filing for HMRC and Companies House. Management accounts exist to help you make decisions.

What is in your report

A typical pack includes a profit and loss account, a balance sheet, cash flow, and key figures such as gross margin and revenue growth. We keep the layout simple and explain the numbers in plain language, so you understand what to do next.

Who they help

Management accounts are useful when you are growing, applying for finance, planning to hire, or simply want to know where your money is going. Banks and investors usually ask for them.

Getting started

We need your bookkeeping up to date. If it is not, we can take care of that first. Then we agree the report you want and the date each month you would like it by.

The numbers we track

  • Gross profit margin

    How much you keep from each pound of revenue.

  • Net profit margin

    Your bottom line after all costs.

  • Debtor days

    How long customers take to pay you.

  • Current ratio

    Your ability to meet short-term obligations.

  • Revenue growth

    Month on month and year on year trends.

  • Cash burn rate

    How quickly you are using cash reserves.

Questions

Common questions.

What are management accounts?

How often should I receive management accounts?

Monthly is the most useful for most businesses. Some prefer quarterly.

What's the difference between management and annual accounts?

Annual accounts are a formal yearly filing. Management accounts are more detailed, more frequent and built to help you run the business.

Can you compare my performance to industry benchmarks?

We can discuss how your figures compare with typical ratios for your sector. Ask us when you get in touch.

Do I need management accounts for a small business?

They help at any size. If you want to know where the money is going and plan ahead, they are worth having.
