Management accounts are reports which give you an insight into the future of your business finances. These reports when delivered to you by a professional bookkeeper or accountant will allow you to make more accurate business decisions. As part of your management accounts we will look at:
Cash flow
Profit and Loss
Balance Sheet
KPI’s
Why are these reports important for your business?
With the cost of living rising it’s essential to keep a close eye on your outgoings and make sure you review your own pricing structure. If your costs are rising it may mean you need to reflect this in your own prices.
Your management accounts will highlight areas of your business which require further investment and the areas which are doing really well. You can learn from the areas which are doing well to implement the changes required to those areas which aren’t performing as well.
The more you drill down into the details the more accurate the information will be. This gives you better control of your finances. If you know what your numbers mean, not only can you make better decisions but you can also take necessary risks as and when situations arise.
Comparing historical financial data will show you how far your business has come over the years. This will give you a great sense of achievement, knowing that your business is heading in the right direction and how you’ve built your business up over time. This will give you the motivation you need to drive your business forward to the next level.
Your business will grow successfully when you have the right knowledge of your finances. Mostly this is achieved by having an expert in your team such as a bookkeeper or accountant. It will be much harder without this professional advice and may take you longer to achieve your goals if they don’t have a presence in your team.
Management Accounts also enables you to plan your finances better. It will give you an idea of how much you need to save for your tax and contingencies, how you can improve the health of your cash flow and determine whether you’re hitting all your Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s).
