Business Decision Support (Numbers Explained)

What the service covers

This service is designed to help you use your numbers day to day, not just file them away. You will leave each review with clarity and agreed next steps.

• Plain-English explanation of your latest figures and key movements
• Focus on cash flow, profitability, and working capital
• Identification of risks (cash pinch points, margin erosion, rising costs)
• Identification of opportunities (pricing, cost control, product or service mix)
• Short, prioritised actions for the next period
• Tax-aware decision support, so choices are made with likely tax impact in mind
• Simple tracking of progress against previous actions and targets

Who this is for

This is a good fit if you are time-poor, make regular business decisions, and want to feel in control of the financial side without becoming an accountant.

Common situations include:

• You are profitable but cash feels tight
• You are unsure what you can safely take from the business
• You want to hire, raise prices, invest, or reduce hours but need the numbers to back it up
• You have VAT or tax bills that feel unpredictable
• You want to understand which clients, jobs, or channels are driving profit

How it works

You get structured, repeatable reviews built around your management information and what is happening in the business.

Typically this includes:

• A short agenda agreed in advance (what you want to decide or improve)
• Review of recent performance and key drivers, not just totals
• A focused discussion on your options and trade-offs
• A written summary of decisions, actions, and what to monitor before the next check-in

What happens after the review

Decision support is most valuable when it improves the next month, not just explains the last one. You will have a simple set of priorities to implement, plus the key numbers to watch so you can spot issues early and adjust quickly.
