What Are Management Accounts — And Why Do They Matter?
Unlike statutory accounts, which are prepared annually for HMRC and Companies House, management accounts are internal reports created monthly or quarterly. They’re designed specifically for you, the business owner, to help you make confident, informed decisions based on current financial data.
From understanding daily sales performance to planning your next big investment, management accounts give you the numbers that matter when they matter.
What You’ll Learn in the Video:
- The difference between management and financial accounts
- Key reports you should include:
- Profit & Loss
- Balance Sheet
- Cash Flow
- Aged Debtors
- The role of non-financial indicators like headcount and marketing stats
- Why accurate bookkeeping is critical to meaningful reports
- The best tools and software to streamline the process
We’ll also show you how to tailor your management accounts to your business needs and use them to spot trends, avoid cash shortfalls, and plan for growth.
Why Management Accounts Are Critical for Growing Businesses
In this video, we explain how management accounts support:
- Business Survival – Understand cash flow, profitability, and liabilities to avoid nasty surprises.
- Investment Decisions – Make smart choices about where to allocate resources based on what the data is telling you.
- Future Planning – Forecast growth and set realistic, achievable goals backed by financial insight.
- Boardroom Clarity – Give your team the right numbers to base decisions on and track progress against your strategic objectives.
As we say in the video, “Cash is a simplistic measure, but it’s also one of the most important.” And with good management accounts, you can see exactly where that cash is coming from and where it’s going.
