The message most accountants miss
A year-end tax bill you first hear about weeks before it is due leaves you no time to plan. We keep a live estimate of your corporation tax, VAT and personal or dividend tax, updated with every pack, so you always know what is coming and have months to act on it.
Each pack updates your running tax position from live numbers, not a guess at year-end.
You always know roughly what to set aside, so the money is there when the bill arrives.
Pension timing, dividend planning, allowances and reliefs, all decided in good time, not too late.
Three levels, one standard
The same senior attention whichever you choose, and rolling tax estimates in all three. You simply decide how deep the pack goes.
Level 1
A clear quarterly read on how the business is really doing.
Level 2 · Most chosen
A monthly steering pack for owners actively growing and watching cash.
Level 3
A full board pack for groups, funding rounds and businesses that report upward.
Numbers that answer real questions
See the true cost against your margin and cash runway before you commit to a salary.
Margin split by product, service or site, so you back what works and cut what quietly drains you.
A forward view of cash, so you see a squeeze coming and plan round it instead of scrambling.
A rolling estimate updated every period, so the money is set aside and the timing never catches you out.
We track whether rising turnover is adding profit or just cost, month by month.
Board and lender-ready numbers, so a funding conversation is backed by evidence, not a scramble.
More than a PDF
A pack that lands in your inbox and is never explained changes nothing. Our team of Chartered Certified Accountants has worked to the standards of top-tier audit and corporate finance, and brings that judgement to owner-managed businesses, so the value is in what you do with the numbers.
Who gets the most from this
Management accounts earn their keep the moment your decisions get bigger than your year-end numbers can answer: established, scaling, or simply done running on guesswork.
Past the start-up scramble, with real decisions to make and the turnover to justify getting them right.
Groups, several locations or brands, where one blended figure hides what is really happening.
Adding headcount, inventory or ad spend, where a wrong call gets expensive quickly.
Raising, borrowing or planning an exit, where clean, current numbers change the outcome.
Anyone reporting performance to people who expect it done properly.
Where a single point of margin is the difference between a good year and a hard one.
Scoped, fixed, agreed up front
Each level is scoped to your business and priced up front, monthly or quarterly. You get the insight and judgement of a senior finance team, and its tax planning, for a fraction of the cost of hiring one, and you know the figure before you commit.
Your fee depends only on the level, frequency and complexity you need. No bare number here, because it should reflect your business, not a template. See yours in a couple of minutes.
See your fixed fee in minutesAnswered clearly
At every level, each pack updates a live estimate of your corporation tax, VAT and personal or dividend tax from your real numbers. You always know roughly what to set aside, months ahead, so there is time to plan pension contributions, dividend timing and reliefs rather than react at the last minute.
Year-end accounts are a statutory, historical record filed once a year, mainly for HMRC. Management accounts are for you: a monthly or quarterly view of your live performance, margin, cash, KPIs and tax position, so you can make decisions now rather than months later.
Financial Health suits businesses wanting a clear quarterly read. Business Performance suits owners actively steering, growing and watching cash, and is the level most choose. Strategic Advisory suits groups, funding rounds and businesses reporting to a board. We will recommend honestly rather than upsell.
Fast-growing, multi-site or cash-sensitive businesses usually benefit from monthly packs. Steadier businesses often find quarterly is enough. We recommend the right rhythm rather than sell you more than you need.
Yes. We prepare board-ready and lender-ready reporting, tailored to what a specific bank, investor or funder expects, so those conversations are backed by current, credible numbers.
We talk it through. A pack that is never explained changes nothing. Each period we walk you through what the numbers mean and what to do about them.
Both. We can produce your management accounts on top of records kept elsewhere, or bring your whole finance function in-house with us. We are Aberdeen-based and fully cloud-based through Xero and QuickBooks, so we work with owner-managed businesses right across the UK.
Scoped to the level, frequency and complexity you need, and agreed up front before you commit. It is a fraction of the cost of hiring a financial controller or part-time finance director. Use the instant fee estimate to see your figure.
