Why this matters
Statutory financial statements are for the taxman and the bank. Management accounts are for you — they tell you, in your own words, how the business is really going and what to change before month-end.
What to expect
1. We pick the numbers that matter
Together we choose 5 to 8 numbers that actually drive your business — gross margin per product, days to collect cash, cost per unit, occupancy, cash runway.
2. Monthly pack
A short PDF: this month vs last month vs same month last year, budget vs actual, and a 90-day cash forecast.
3. Monthly call (optional)
A 30-minute call with your accountant. We walk through the pack and agree three actions before the new month starts.
What you provide
- Access to your books (or let us do them — see Bookkeeping)
- Your budget or targets (we can build one if you don't have any)
- Non-money numbers that matter: units sold, staff count, hectares planted, etc.
Monthly. Pack in your inbox by day 12 of the following month.
- Management accounts PDF (5–7 pages)
- KPI dashboard with trend arrows
- 90-day cash-flow forecast
- Action list from the review call
Real example
Farai knew his total sales but not his cost per bird by house. Feed was 68% of his cost and climbing.
The new pack broke feed cost down per house. House 3 was 14% worse — a broken feeder was replaced. He got his money back in 11 days.
Jargon buster
- KPI
- Key Performance Indicator — a single number that tells you if things are on track.
- Gross margin
- What's left after you take the direct cost of a sale away from the price you charged.
