Management Accounts
What are Management Accounts?
Management accounts are internal financial reports tailored specifically for a company’s managers. These reports provide detailed insights into various aspects of your business’s financial health, showing you, for instance, which areas of your business are currently profitable. Unlike statutory accounts, which can be months out of date, management accounts can provide data that is only a few weeks old.
Why are Management Accounts Important?
- Decision-Making: Management accounts can be used to guide decisions, budgets, and strategies. Whether you are looking to expand, or need to cut costs, management accounts can help with the answer.
- Performance Monitoring: Management accounts let you monitor performance closely. If your profit margin starts to fall, you’ll know it’s time to adjust.
- Trend Spotting: These reports reveal accounting trends. Monitoring trends in sales and costs makes for better planning and smarter business.
What is Included in Management Accounts?
- Profit and Loss (P&L) Statement: This shows your revenue, costs, and overall profitability over a specific period.
- Balance Sheet: A snapshot of your company’s assets, liabilities, and equity at a given moment.
- Cash Flow Statement: Tracks the movement of cash in and out of your business.
- Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): These metrics help you gauge performance – whether it’s sales growth, customer acquisition costs, or employee productivity.
- Trends and Targets: Compare actual performance against your goals.
- Industry Benchmarking: How does your business stack up against competitors?
- Departmental Analysis: Breakdown by cost centres or business units.

I have used [Phinch] services for many years. [The] team have guided me through the complicated processes of US taxes as an expat, and stayed on top of any changes in filing rules. Highly recommended.
Larissa Bulla
[The Phinch] team have been incredibly helpful in the preparation and filing of my US tax returns and FBAR submissions, even when I have been less than fully organised. The team are always prompt and professional. They stay abreast of changes in annual tax rulings and have helped me secure rebates or stimulus payments where these are due. I highly recommend this company.
