Every business needs management accounting information in some shape or form - to work without this data is to work blindfolded when making key decisions about your business, making it vital to your ongoing and future success.
Despite this fact, many people starting out in business insist on monitoring and controlling the financial performance of their business themselves, since they enjoy the financial side of things. Marshall & Co can either carry out this work for you on a monthly or quarterly basis using our accounting systems, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your business, or else can help you to set up your own internal systems (tailored to your particular requirements) to generate the most accurate and valuable information possible.
Cash is absolutely key to the success of any business and a lack of cash is the single biggest reason that businesses fail – a profit may be generated at the end of the year, but it is the peaks and troughs of cashflow throughout that year that, if not properly managed, can cause your business to struggle or even go under.
Marshall & Co can assist with preparing a cashflow forecast for your business which will help you to effectively plan in advance for times when you might need to arrange finance in the form of loans or overdrafts. Banks are far more likely to accommodate your needs if they are anticipated and monitored in a controlled and responsible way. Regular cash flow forecasts provide sound evidence to any prospective lender that a business is being well run – there is nothing wrong with seeking out financial assistance, most businesses will need some help, especially in the early years, it isn’t a sign of weakness, rather an indication of sound management.
Managing a business or organisation is far from straightforward. When running your own business, not only you must make daily decisions where you are judged on the outcome, but your personal financial position can be inextricably and immediately impacted.
Thus, preparing regular management accounts provides you with the key information that you need to make informed decisions, monitor financial performance and monitor key performance indicators.
Futureproof your business with accurate management accounts and cashflow forecasting. Call Marshall & Co on
