Know where the business is heading.
We turn last month's numbers into a plan for the next three months. You get forecasts, budgets and reports you can read.
What's included
Numbers that look forward.
Bookkeeping tells you what has happened, and this tells you what comes next. It is the finance team a big company has, without a full-time finance director.
- A forecast of money in and out (your cash flow). It shows you when the tight weeks will be.
- A budget for the year (your plan for what you earn and spend). Each month we check the real numbers against it. You find out early if you are off plan.
- KPI dashboards (the handful of numbers that show how the business is going). We keep them up to date, so you can check them any time.
- A report pack each month or every three months. We explain it in plain English, not in a spreadsheet.
- Reports for your bank or a grant body, in their format and by their deadline. This includes covenant reports (the numbers a lender checks each period). It also covers forecasts for a loan review. Grant acquittals (proof of how you spent the grant money) are covered too.
- A finance team you can ring before a big spend. Ring us before you hire someone, sign a lease or change prices.
The difference
Bookkeeper vs finance management.
Clean books are the start, but someone still has to plan from them.
| Bookkeeper | Finance management |
|---|---|
| Records the past | Plans the next quarter (the next three months) |
| A monthly report | A forecast and a budget |
| Answers what happened | Answers what to do |
Owners usually come to us at one of these points.
- Nobody says if you can afford the next hire, or where cash will be in March.
- A second site, a new lease, a price rise or buying out a partner. You want the numbers worked out before you commit, not explained afterwards.
How it works
From the first call to the first report pack.
You know what you get, when it comes and what it costs.
-
We read the books you already have
We ask what you need to know each month and which decisions are coming. We check what the bank or grant body has asked for. Then we go through your current books and reports.
-
You get a list of reports and a price
We write down which reports you get, how often and who gets them. The price is on the same page. You agree to it in writing before any work starts.
-
The first pack lands, then we talk it through
The same person builds your forecast all year and knows your numbers. You can reach them by phone, text or WhatsApp. Ask before you sign the lease, and you get the answer the same day.
