A monthly reporting pack, a budget you can measure against and a cash flow forecast that shows trouble before it arrives.
Clean books answer the question “what happened?” Owners usually want to know something else: can I afford to hire, why did margin fall, will there be enough cash in eight weeks? I turn the bookkeeping into reports built around those questions.
What is included
- Monthly management reporting pack with commentary in plain English
- Budget build and monthly budget versus actual reporting
- Rolling cash flow forecast based on receivables, payables and payroll timing
- Profitability by location, service line, product or sales channel
- Break-even and what-if analysis for pricing, hiring and expansion decisions
- Key performance indicators agreed with you and tracked consistently
- Consolidated reporting for owners with several entities
- Supporting schedules for lenders, investors and your CPA
How it works
- Agree the questions. We decide what you need to know each month and which numbers answer it.
- Check the foundation. Reporting is only as good as the books. I confirm the data is reliable first.
- Build the pack. Reports are designed once, then refreshed every month.
- Review together. You receive the pack with written commentary, and a call when it is useful.
A good fit if
- You get a profit and loss statement each month but it does not change any decisions
- Cash feels tight even in profitable months
- You are planning to hire, expand or borrow
- You report to partners, a board or a lender
Common questions
Do I need monthly bookkeeping from you as well?
Not necessarily. I can build reporting on top of books kept by someone else, provided they are reconciled and current.
Is a forecast a guarantee?
No. A forecast is an estimate built on stated assumptions. Its value is in showing how results change when the assumptions change.
What tools do you use?
QuickBooks Online for the source data, and Excel, Google Sheets or Power BI for the reporting, depending on what your team already uses.
