In short
What are management accounts?
Management accounts are regular reports, usually monthly or quarterly, that show how a business is performing. They include a profit and loss account, balance sheet, cash flow and key figures such as margins and debtor days, often compared with a budget. Unlike statutory accounts, they aren't filed with HMRC or Companies House. They help owners make decisions, manage cash and report to lenders or investors.

- See your real profit every month or quarter
- Spot cash shortfalls before they happen
- Price your work using real margins
