Annual Financial Statements
Year-end statements prepared to a recognized standard — complete with notes, structured for owners, lenders, and filing purposes.
Management Accounts Preparation
Regular interim statements prepared from your books — written clearly enough to actually use when you are making decisions, not just filed away until the year-end.
What this delivers
Management accounts are the statements you use between year-ends — to understand the month just passed, to track whether the business is performing as expected, and to make decisions based on something more current than last year's figures.
This service produces regular interim statements from your bookkeeping records. Each set covers the period in question and is written so the owner or manager reading it can follow what the numbers say — without needing to work through it line by line with an accountant present.
A familiar difficulty
For many owner-managed businesses, the most recent set of accounts is twelve months old. Decisions about staffing, pricing, investment, or distribution are made based on a general sense of how things are going — backed up occasionally by a bank balance — rather than on a structured reading of the current position.
The bookkeeping is usually up to date. The data exists. What is missing is someone to turn it into a coherent set of statements — a document that separates trading performance from balance sheet changes, that shows where margins are sitting, and that can be read in fifteen minutes with reasonable confidence.
Without that, it is difficult to know whether the business is performing as it should, or whether a change that felt manageable is actually showing up in the numbers.
How we approach it
Each period, we take an export from your bookkeeping system and prepare the statements from that. We do not require you to produce a trial balance or restructure anything — we handle the preparation step.
The format stays the same from month to month so that reading this period's accounts feels familiar. Where something has changed, we note it — but the structure itself does not shift arbitrarily.
If the period shows something worth flagging — a margin shift, a notable movement in a balance — we include a brief note. Not an essay, just the observation that a careful reader would want to have.
What the arrangement looks like
At the outset, we agree the period frequency, the format, and which data you will share each month. A short initial call or exchange is usually enough to establish this.
At close of each period, you send an export from your bookkeeping system. We confirm receipt and begin preparation without requiring anything more unless a specific question arises.
We prepare the set and deliver it to you — typically within a few working days of receiving clean records. The document is ready to read without any additional work from your side.
The statements are yours to use — in a meeting, in a lender discussion, or simply to form your own view of the period. If a question comes up, we are available to address it.
Investment
Management Accounts Preparation is priced at USD 360 per month. This covers preparation of one set of interim statements per period from your bookkeeping records, delivered on an ongoing basis.
The fee is the same each month regardless of the period's complexity — we price the arrangement, not each individual set. If your situation changes significantly, we will discuss it with you openly.
There is no long-term commitment required at the outset. You are welcome to start with a few months and continue if the arrangement suits you.
What makes it work
The value of management accounts is partly in the individual set and partly in the series. Once you have several periods of statements prepared in the same format, patterns become visible — the months where margin holds, the periods where a cost category has crept up, the seasonal shape of revenue.
We keep the format consistent so that comparison is easy. The income statement categorisation does not shift between periods without reason. Where we do make a change, we explain it.
The process also becomes simpler over time. Once the initial setup is in place and we understand your chart of accounts and any classification preferences, each subsequent period requires minimal back-and-forth.
Owner-managed businesses and growing companies that want current financial visibility between year-ends — particularly those making regular decisions about costs, pricing, or resourcing.
Monthly is the most common arrangement. Quarterly is also available for businesses where a monthly set would be more granular than useful. We discuss what makes sense for your situation at the outset.
A bookkeeping export at close of each period — typically from your accounting software. We confirm the exact format during setup. Bookkeeping should be broadly current; we are not a bookkeeping service.
Our commitment
If a set of management accounts we prepare contains an error that results from our preparation work — a figure carried incorrectly, a classification that does not match what was agreed — we correct it without additional charge.
We also understand that needs change. If the arrangement is not working well for you, we ask that you tell us directly. We would rather adjust the approach than have you continue with something that is not serving its purpose.
If you would like to understand what the statements would look like before committing, get in touch and we can discuss it. There is no obligation in asking.
Getting started
Use the contact form to describe your business briefly — what you use for bookkeeping, how often you would want statements, and what they will be used for. We respond within one business day.
A short initial exchange to agree the structure, the data format, and any categorisation preferences. This is usually quick — most businesses have a straightforward chart of accounts.
From the first period, we prepare and deliver on the agreed schedule. The process settles quickly, and after a few months it requires very little from you other than sending the period export.
