Management accounts

Management information plays a pivotal role in successfully managing your business and moving it forward. The WMT approach goes beyond data evaluation and focuses on value creation.

You can choose to have monthly or quarterly management accounts, depending on how closely you want to monitor your business and the information available from other sources.

As a minimum, management accounts include a profit and loss account and a balance sheet.

We will recommend additional performance measures that are best suited to help you monitor and develop your business

Your management report will be easy to understand, making it simple for you to check your progress as well as supporting decision making and planning.

How we help

Our management accounts service helps you keep your finger on the pulse of your business. By monitoring and promptly assessing the impact of the changes you introduce, you can connect the dots and stay on track in various important business scenarios, such as:

You want to improve your cash flow without jeopardising supplier and customer relationships.
We can estimate the timing and amounts of cash inflows and outflows to find potential pinch-points, and identify ways to overcome them.

You have set budgets for the year and want to make sure you stay on track.
Your management reports will show how your business is performing against your expectations for expenditure, income, and profits, so we can discuss what adjustments could be made.

You see some patterns emerging in your business, and you want to understand their effect.
Through analysing your financial data over time, we can identify trends in your business, assess if they are having a positive or negative impact and help you decide how to respond to them.

Management reports produced by our expert advisers take an in-depth look into your business dynamics. This helps you determine the direction to take your business by answering vital questions such as:

• How well are different products or services selling?
• Has a promotion worked?
• What is the best pricing strategy?
• Who are your best sales people and how can you continue to motivate them?
• Which stock should you order more or less of?
• Is a new process saving you money?
• What is no longer working and what effective changes can you make?
• Where should you make further investment in your business?
• What new opportunities are there for growth and improvement?
