Moreover, you can have a better understanding of whether your strategies and plans were according to the budget or not. Additionally, you can share the numbers with your team in order to boost their confidence in your plans as well. Having a monthly overview of the numbers with everyone onboard can help a lot in moving forward or cutting down on your plans.
Management Accounts are “a set of tailor-made and standard financial reports” that help business management make key decisions and provide a clear insight into the business situation.
Unlike Statutory Accounts that are mandatory requirements set by HMRC and Government and are prepared after the year end, Management Accounts are focused on your business requirements. So, the business can decide the level of detail, the frequency, the layout and the accounting period you wish to analyse.
Management accounts can play a vital role in growth planning, for instance if you needed a loan, such reports would help provide Banks with insights on how your monthly financial situation has been. It, therefore, acts as a token of guarantee and assurance that you hold a strong financial standing, resulting in winning you the loan.
