Management accounts
management accounts made simple
Management accounts take the form of financial reports which are used by business owners and management to inform day-to-day and longer-term decision making. They are not a legal requirement and can therefore comprise different elements depending on the needs of the business. However, they are usually produced on a monthly or quarterly basis and provide insight into the current financial health of a business by tracking various key performance indicators.
In contrast to Statutory Accounts, management accounting services provide more timely information, which has the potential to make a difference to future business plans as opposed to just reflecting on older accounting figures.
Why are management accounts important?
The primary function of management accounts for small business owners is to provide clear insight into the financial position of the business. This insight helps by:
- Providing a cost analysis of your existing expenses
- Identifying pinch points and improving cashflow
- Measuring the performance of your business
- Identifying opportunities for internal savings
- Defining your future budgets and investments
- Helping to plan tax and dividend payments
- Demonstrating transparency to potential investors
- Providing a better understanding of your target market
