Bookkeeping Reporting & Summaries

What bookkeeping reporting and summaries cover

Once your bookkeeping is up to date, reports are generated and explained so you can use them with confidence. Depending on your setup and what you need to track, this typically includes:

• Profit and loss for the period (with meaningful categories)
• Balance sheet highlights (what you own, owe, and are owed)
• Cash position and key cash movements
• VAT position indicators and checks (where applicable)
• Aged debtors and creditors summaries
• Variance notes on unusual movements or spikes in costs
• A short action list of queries, fixes, or next steps

Who this service is best for

This is a good fit if you:

• Want regular visibility of profit and cash, not just year-end accounts
• Need to keep an eye on VAT, expenses, or margins as you grow
• Are time-poor and want the numbers explained without jargon
• Want to spot errors early (coding, missing invoices, duplicate entries)
• Need cleaner figures to support decisions like hiring, pricing, or investment

How the service is delivered

The reporting is built from your bookkeeping data, usually held in cloud accounting software.

1. Your records are checked for completeness (bank reconciliations, sales, purchases, key postings).
2. The reporting period and any priority metrics are agreed.
3. Reports are generated and reviewed for reasonableness and consistency.
4. You receive a clear summary of performance and any items that need your input.
5. Any corrections or reclassifications are applied so the next report is more accurate.

Ongoing value after the report

Over time, regular reporting makes trends easier to see and decisions easier to justify. It also supports smoother VAT returns and year-end accounts because issues are dealt with earlier. Where needed, the summaries can feed into cash planning, tax set-asides, and practical next steps for improving profitability or control.
