What this service covers
Regular financial updates give you a clear view of performance and progress, without waiting until year end. This service typically includes:
- A simple goal setting session to agree what you want to measure (revenue, profit, cash, tax reserves, capacity).
- Regular reporting (monthly or quarterly) comparing actuals to targets or budget.
- Clear variance commentary: what moved, why it likely moved, and what to watch next.
- Cash visibility, including expected liabilities such as VAT and Corporation Tax where relevant.
- Action focused recommendations to improve results, protect cash, or reduce risk.
- A short review call to agree priorities before the next period.
Who this is for
This works well for sole traders and limited company owners who want a reliable way to stay on top of performance while keeping admin light. It is particularly useful if you are growing, hiring, increasing ad spend, moving to VAT registration, or finding profits and cash do not match. It also suits business owners who want clearer targets and fewer financial surprises.
How it works
First, you agree the goals and the key numbers that matter most to your business. Your bookkeeping data is then kept up to date and used to produce a regular snapshot, with a comparison to your target and a short explanation of the main movements. Each update ends with clear next steps, so you know what to change, what to keep doing, and what to monitor.
Ongoing value and optimisation
As your business changes, your goals and tracking measures can be refined so they stay relevant. Over time, patterns become easier to spot, which helps you plan ahead, set realistic targets, and make decisions earlier. The result is better control of profit and cash, with fewer last minute scrambles.
