Management and year-end accounts, prepared for review

A clean month-end close, reports you’ll actually use, and year-end accounts prepared ready for you or your accountant to review, sign and file.

01. Numbers that tell you what is really happening

Bookkeeping records what happened. Management accounts explain what it means. This service turns your day to day records into clear, timely information you can actually run the business on, and prepares your year end accounts so the final sign off is quick and clean.

Too many small and growing businesses only look at their numbers once a year, long after the moment when a decision could have been made. By then the information is history. We help you close the gap. We prepare regular management accounts through the year and get your year end pack ready for review, so the numbers are working for you rather than sitting in a drawer.

As with everything we do, we prepare and process. We do not sign off, approve or file accounts under our own name. Your management accounts are yours to act on. Your year end accounts are prepared to a review ready standard and handed to you or your licensed accountant to finalise and file. You stay in control of the formal steps, and you get a team of qualified accountants doing the heavy lifting underneath.

02. What we cover

The service spans the full picture, from monthly reporting to the year end pack.

  • Month end close. We tidy and reconcile the books at the end of each period, post accruals, prepayments, depreciation and any adjustments, and lock down a clean set of numbers.
  • Management accounts. A clear profit and loss, balance sheet and cash position, prepared to the schedule you choose, so you can see performance while it still matters.
  • Management reporting and commentary. Beyond the raw statements, we can prepare simple summaries that highlight what has changed and what is worth a closer look, in plain language.
  • Budgets and comparatives. We can present actuals against budget or against the prior period, so trends and surprises stand out.
  • Cash flow views. A straightforward picture of money in and money out, which is often the number owners care about most.
  • Year end accounts preparation. We prepare a full year end pack, with supporting schedules and reconciliations, to a standard that is ready for review and filing by you or your accountant.
  • Working papers. We keep clear, organised working papers behind every figure, so a reviewer can follow how we got there without having to ask.

03. Who it suits

For business owners and finance managers, this service brings the clarity of a proper finance function without the cost of building one. If you are making decisions on gut feel or on a bank balance, regular management accounts change how you run the company. And when year end comes around, the accounts are already prepared, so the process with your accountant is faster and often cheaper.

For accounting firms, we are a white-label preparation partner. We take on the time consuming accounts preparation work, month end close and year end file, so your qualified staff can focus on review, advice and client relationships. You keep the judgement, the sign off and the client. We supply clean, well documented files that are quick to review. This is capacity that feels in-house, delivered under your brand.

It suits businesses that have outgrown a simple bookkeeping only setup, and firms that want to clear an accounts preparation backlog or add dependable capacity in busy season.

04. The tools we work in

We prepare accounts using Xero, QuickBooks and Sage, and we are comfortable working alongside the reporting and working paper tools that firms layer on top. We work in your existing environment wherever possible, so your file stays where it is and your process is not disrupted. If you use a specialist accounts production package, tell us and we will let you know honestly how well we can fit into it.

05. How the work flows between us and you

  1. Agree the scope and calendar. We set out what you want, how often, and by when. Predictable timing is half the value of management accounts.
  2. We prepare. Each period we close the books, prepare the statements or the year end file, and document our working papers.
  3. We hand over for review. You receive a clear pack. For year end work, that pack is ready for your accountant to review and file.
  4. We answer queries. A reviewer can come back with questions and we respond quickly, with the working papers to back up every figure.

For firms especially, the quality of the working papers is what makes the arrangement work. A file that is easy to review saves your senior people the most expensive part of their time.

06. What makes our accounts work reliable

The work is done by qualified accountants, not junior processors, so the judgement calls that accounts preparation involves are handled properly. We are methodical, with consistent working papers and clear schedules behind every number. And we are secure, with a signed non disclosure agreement, controlled access, and a clear account of where and how your data is processed. Our Security and Confidentiality page covers this in full.

07. Ways to work with us

Management and year end accounts can be arranged as a fixed monthly fee for ongoing reporting, as a project for a year end file or a one off piece of work, or through a dedicated resource for firms that want steady, predictable capacity through the year and into busy season. Many firms start with a single year end file to see how we work before scaling up. See our Engagement Models page for the detail.

08. What we do, and what we do not

We prepare management accounts and year end accounts to a review ready standard. We do not approve, sign or file statutory accounts under our own name, and we do not offer any form of independent examination or sign off work. The final review, sign off and filing stay with you or your licensed firm. This is the clean, compliant model that lets us support clients across the UK, EU and US without stepping into regulated territory.
