Management and cash-flow reports

Each month you get a set of reports from your own books, showing where the business stands and how it compares with earlier months. If you'd like to look ahead, we can also put together a cash flow forecast from your own numbers.

An optional cash flow forecast

What's included

Reports produced from your accounting software once the month's books are reconciled. They show the numbers, and the decisions stay with you and your accountant.

  • A profit and loss report for the month and the year to date
  • A balance sheet as at the end of the month
  • Your cash position: what's in each bank account at month end
  • An aged list of who owes the business
  • An aged list of the bills the business owes
  • This month set beside earlier months, so changes are easy to spot
  • A short plain-English note on what each report shows
  • A cash flow forecast built from your own figures, if you want one

Not included

Advice of any kind. The reports describe what's in your books, and what to do about it is a conversation between you and your accountant.

How monthly reporting works

Reports are only as sound as the books behind them, so reconciliation comes first.

  1. 01

    Assess

    We check that your books are reconciled and current. Any months that are behind get caught up before the first reports.

  2. 02

    Agree

    We agree which reports you'd like each month and whether you want a cash flow forecast as well.

  3. 03

    Report

    Once the month is reconciled, we produce the reports from your books and send them with a short note on what each one shows.

Reporting questions

Which reports will I get each month?
A profit and loss, a balance sheet, your cash position, a list of who owes the business and a list of what the business owes, with this month compared against earlier ones. A cash flow forecast can be added if you want one.
Do my books need to be up to date first?
Yes. Reports drawn from books that haven't been reconciled can paint the wrong picture. If yours have fallen behind, catch-up bookkeeping brings them current before the first set of reports.
Do the reports come from my own accounting software?
Yes. We work from your Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks Online file, so every figure in the reports traces back to transactions in your own books.
Can you explain what the numbers show?
Yes, in plain words. We describe what each report shows, such as why the bank balance moved or which costs went up compared with last month. What to do about it is your decision, with your accountant's advice where you need it.
How is a cash flow forecast put together?
From your own figures: the bills and sales invoices already in your books, plus the regular income and costs you tell us to expect. As each month's actual figures come in, we update the forecast. It's an estimate drawn from your numbers, not a promise of what will happen.
Who else can get the reports?
Whoever you choose. If you'd like, we can send each month's reports to your accountant as well as to you.
