Management Accounts are reports which tell you more about your business finances in detail. If you have a bookkeeper managing your finances they will be able to produce these insightful reports which give you a glimpse into the future of your business. 

The reports will give you further information about your cash flow, profit and loss, your balance sheet and will identify Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s). All of this information combined will give an indication of where your business is heading.

Why they are important

If growing your business is your ambition then you can no longer bury your head in the sand when it comes to your business finances. You need to face up to your financial position in order to make the appropriate changes to drive your business forward.

Your management accounts will highlight areas of your business that are excelling and those which aren’t doing as great. By highlighting this you can take appropriate action. Investigate why some areas of your business are doing better than others and make the changes in the areas which are impacted the most. 

The cost of living is rising and prices are going up here, there and everywhere! Only last week we received notification that the subscription prices for 2 of our biggest suppliers are going up. Both Dext and Xero are increasing their prices. It’s the same in any industry, prices are on the increase and we need to make changes in our businesses to reflect this. That means reviewing your prices! 

Take action

You may have been charging the same amount for your products and services for quite some time now. But the problem with that is that your expenses are increasing but your income is remaining the same. In order to balance this out you need to review your pricing structure. When growing your business it’s important you keep your cash flow nice and healthy and this will make a huge difference.

In order to produce your management accounts your bookkeeper will use your historical financial data. This will also highlight how far you’ve come since beginning your business. It will give you the motivation you need to smash your new business goals.
