Management accounts & reporting

Accounts Management (Ongoing Support)

Accounts Management (Ongoing Support) keeps your day-to-day finances organised and up to date, so you always know where you stand. Instead of scrambling at quarter or year end, your transactions are kept tidy, reconciled and coded correctly throughout the year, giving you clear numbers and smoother compliance.

More information

What ongoing accounts management covers

Your accounts are maintained as a working system, not a once-a-year file. Support is tailored to your setup and reporting needs, but typically includes:

  • Bank, card and payment platform reconciliations
  • Correct coding of income and costs for accurate reporting
  • Maintaining clean records for expenses and receipts
  • Handling sales and purchase invoice records (where relevant)
  • Keeping the chart of accounts organised and consistent
  • Basic debtor and creditor visibility to reduce surprises
  • Regular management figures so you can track performance
  • An orderly audit trail so VAT returns and year-end accounts are simpler

Who this service is for

This is a good fit if you are time-poor, want confidence your records are correct, or need reliable figures to run the business. It is especially useful if you have frequent transactions, multiple income streams, VAT registration, or you are preparing for funding, growth, or a new hire.

How the support is delivered

We agree what “up to date” means for your business (for example weekly or monthly), then set up a simple routine for records and queries. Transactions are reconciled, issues are flagged early, and you get clear updates rather than a list of unexplained adjustments at the end of the year.

What you get over time

As your records stay clean, your reporting becomes more useful and compliance work becomes less disruptive. Ongoing accounts management also helps spot trends, cashflow pressure, and tax-sensitive items earlier, so decisions are based on current information, not estimates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to provide for ongoing accounts management?
You will typically provide access to your bank feeds and accounting system, plus receipts, invoices and any key notes on unusual transactions. A simple routine for sharing documents keeps things moving and reduces back-and-forth.
How often will my accounts be updated?
Update frequency is agreed based on your transaction volume and reporting needs, commonly weekly or monthly. The aim is to keep figures current enough for decisions and deadlines, not to let work build up.
Can you work with my existing cloud accounting software?
In most cases, yes. If your current setup is not giving clean information, we will recommend improvements so reporting and compliance are easier going forward.
Will this help with VAT returns and year-end accounts?
Yes. Keeping reconciliations and coding up to date means VAT figures are based on complete records, and year-end accounts are faster and less stressful. It also reduces the risk of missed transactions and avoidable corrections.
What happens if something looks wrong in the accounts?
We raise queries as they come up and agree the correct treatment before the error becomes embedded. You get clear explanations in plain English, with practical options where judgement is needed.
