Numbers that help you decide
Annual accounts look at the past. To steer a business, you need regular indicators and a view of the future. On request, we build tools proportionate to the size of your company:
Dashboards
Revenue, margin, costs, available cash, receivables: the key indicators, presented simply, at the frequency that suits you.
Budgets and forecasts
A forecast income statement built on realistic assumptions, for a launch, a hire, an investment or a new financial year.
Cash flow plan
Anticipating pressure points, tax and social security deadlines and financing needs, rather than suffering them.
Financing
Files for your bank or investors: forecast, commented history, figures that support your case.
Management in four steps
- Budget Your goals for the year turned into figures: revenue, costs, investments.
- Regular follow-up On request, a monthly or quarterly dashboard compared with the budget.
- Cash forecast Receipts and payments for the coming months, to anticipate rather than react.
- Decisions Hiring, investing, financing: choices based on reliable numbers.
Your goals, our answers
“I want to see my cash coming”
On request and on quotation, a three- or six-month cash flow plan including your tax and social deadlines. It is updated at the frequency you choose: the more frequent the updates, the higher the budget.
“I want to convince my bank”
Forecast, financing plan and commented history: a clear, consistent file.
“I want a few key indicators”
As an option, a simple monthly dashboard focused on what matters for your business.
The forecasts, cash-flow plans, dashboards, simulations, studies and analyses mentioned above are additional engagements, provided on request and quoted in advance in your engagement letter: the more frequent they are, the higher their cost.
Frequently asked questions
Is a forecast useful if I am not applying for a loan?
Yes. It is first a decision tool for you: it checks the viability of a project, sets targets and tracks variances during the year.
How often should we review the figures?
Depending on your business: monthly for a growing company or tight cash, quarterly for a stable activity. We agree the frequency together, on quotation: the more frequent, the higher the budget.
Which indicators should I track first?
Revenue and margin, payroll costs, available and forecast cash, customer payment times. The rest depends on your business model.
Can you help us obtain financing?
We prepare the financial information and help you present it. The decision rests with the bank or investor.
Is a forecast included in the accounting engagement?
No. Forecasts, cash-flow plans, dashboards and simulations are additional services, on request and quoted. Their budget depends on their frequency and level of detail. See how we set our fees
