Statutory accounts keep you legal. Management accounts keep you in control.

Most UK business owners only ever see their numbers once a year — in the statutory accounts their accountant files with Companies House, often nine months after the year actually ended. By then the decisions are already made. Management accounts close that gap.

Statutory accounts
  • Once a year, months after the period
  • Fixed legal format
  • For Companies House & HMRC
  • Backward-looking compliance
Management accounts
  • Every month, days after close
  • Built around your decisions
  • For you and your management team
  • Forward-looking, with commentary

What's in your monthly pack

Every report comes with written commentary — what moved, why, and what to do about it.

Profit & loss with commentary

Revenue, gross margin and overheads against budget and prior periods — with a written explanation of every material movement, not just a grid of numbers.

Balance sheet

What the business owns and owes, reconciled to the penny: debtors, creditors, cash, loans, director's loan account and VAT position.

Cash position and what is coming

Where cash went this month, what is due in from customers and out to suppliers, HMRC and payroll over the next quarter, so a squeeze shows before it arrives.

The numbers that run the business

The five to eight figures that drive your business, such as margin by line, debtor days and run-rate, tracked month on month. A Power BI, Tableau or web dashboard of the same figures is a separate fixed build from £1,495.

Budget vs actual

If you have a budget, a clear read on where you are ahead, where you are behind, and which variances are timing and which are structural.

Aged debtors & creditors

Who owes you, who you owe, and how overdue — so collections and payments stop being a month-end scramble.

Fixed monthly price
from £295/month

The price is set in advance against your transaction volume, bank accounts and number of entities. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices — you know the cost before you commit. Month-to-month after the first 30 days.

Who this is for

  • UK limited companies past the start-up stage that are steering by bank balance instead of by numbers
  • Owner-managed businesses approaching a funding round, a lending application or a sale, who need credible monthly figures
  • Directors whose accountant only surfaces once a year at year-end
  • Businesses with a bookkeeper for data entry but nobody turning that data into decisions
  • Companies that have outgrown the spreadsheet but are not yet ready for a full-time finance hire

How it works

1

Send your details

A five-minute form about the business, your software (Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or FreeAgent) and the decisions you need the numbers for. You get a fixed monthly quote by email within one working day.

2

Onboarding and first pack

I connect to your bookkeeping, agree the figures and format with you by email, and deliver the first pack. If the books are behind, a fixed-price catch-up gets them current first.

Monthly rhythm

Every month, by the 5th working day after close, the full pack lands with commentary and a short recorded walkthrough. A review call if you want one.

Prepared by a chartered management accountant

Management accounting is the discipline — it is literally what the CGMA designation is for. Every pack is prepared and reviewed by Stuart Wilson, ACMA CGMA, with 24 years in finance — including seven years as Group Finance Director for a portfolio of small and mid-sized businesses in London, plus earlier roles at Arle Capital Partners and Bancroft Private Equity. You are not handed a template export; you are handed analysis from someone who has sat on both sides of the board table.

Management accounts — common questions

What are management accounts for a small business?

A monthly set of reports produced to run the business rather than to satisfy Companies House: profit and loss with commentary, balance sheet, cash position, aged debtors and creditors, and a handful of key figures. Statutory year-end accounts look back once a year; management accounts tell you what is happening now, while you can still act on it.

How are management accounts different from statutory accounts?

Statutory accounts are a legal filing prepared once a year, months after the period ends, in a fixed format. Management accounts are produced monthly, within days of the month closing, in whatever format is most useful to you — with written commentary explaining what moved and why. One keeps you compliant; the other keeps you informed.

How much do monthly management accounts cost?

Our UK management accounts service starts at £295 per month. The exact price depends on transaction volume, the number of bank accounts and entities, and whether you need a cash flow forecast and KPI dashboard alongside the core pack. It is a fixed monthly fee agreed in advance — no hourly billing and no surprise invoices.

Do I still need a year-end accountant if I have management accounts?

Management accounts and year-end statutory accounts are separate jobs. We can do both — our UK limited company accountant service handles the statutory filing — or we can produce your management accounts and hand a clean, reconciled package to your existing accountant at year end. Good management accounts make the year-end cheaper either way.

How quickly do I get my management accounts each month?

The pack lands by the 5th working day after month end, once the bank feeds and source documents are in. Numbers that arrive six weeks late describe a business that no longer exists; speed is the point.

Who prepares the management accounts?

Every pack is prepared and reviewed by Stuart Wilson, ACMA CGMA, a chartered management accountant with 24 years in finance, including seven years as Group Finance Director for a portfolio of small and mid-sized businesses in London. No junior associates, no offshore data entry presented as analysis.

Can the numbers go on a dashboard too?

Yes. A Power BI, Tableau or web dashboard fed from your accounting system is a fixed build from £1,495, with an automated monthly refresh from £95 a month, so the pack and the dashboard show the same closed figures.
