Performance and margins
A reporting pack covering profit and loss, balance sheet movements and relevant margins, with comparisons against budget and prior periods.
Management accounts that explain performance
For established businesses whose reports arrive late, hide margin pressure or leave directors uncertain about cash. Accendo helps turn financial information into a consistent reporting pack that supports the decisions ahead.
Discuss your requirementsTHE CHALLENGE
You have the figures. You need to know what they mean.
Sales may be rising while cash is tightening. A profitable business may contain loss-making contracts or services. If reports do not explain these movements, owners and directors are left making decisions from an incomplete picture.
HOW Accendo HELPS
Reporting built around your business decisions.
We agree the reporting timetable, key measures and level of commentary with you. The aim is to show what has changed, why it matters and where management needs to act, using reconciled information and clearly stated assumptions.
Support shaped around your requirement.
Cash and working capital
Visibility over customer collections, supplier commitments and cash movements, with forecasts included where separately agreed.
Entity and business-unit reporting
Consistent reporting across entities, services, projects or departments where the underlying records support meaningful analysis.
GETTING STARTED
A clear scope before work begins.
We start with a recent reporting pack, your accounting system, the month-end process and the decisions you need to make. We agree who closes the ledgers, prepares reconciliations, supplies operational data and reviews the final pack. This service is designed to work with an established finance function, rather than provide standalone basic bookkeeping.
YOUR PARTNER RELATIONSHIP
Direct involvement. Clear responsibilities.
Accendo is a London-based firm of Chartered Certified Accountants supporting organisations across the UK. Asif Rafique, FCA, leads the partner relationship, bringing experience in audit, advisory and strategy across practice and industry.
We agree responsibilities, deliverables and fees before work starts. Engagement acceptance includes conflict and applicable audit independence checks. Management retains responsibility for its decisions and financial information.
Before you decide.
How is this different from outsourced CFO support?
Management accounts provide the recurring financial reporting and agreed commentary. Outsourced CFO support adds senior financial leadership, forecasting, scenario analysis and ongoing challenge around business decisions. You can engage us for reporting alone or agree a wider scope.
Can you work with our existing finance team?
Yes. We can complement your team’s preparation work or take responsibility for agreed reporting outputs. Responsibilities and review points are set out at the start.
How frequently should we receive reports?
Monthly reporting often suits businesses making regular staffing, pricing and cash decisions. The right frequency depends on your business, the quality of the data and how quickly management needs to respond.
Can you show profitability by customer or service?
Where the records and allocation methods support it. We first assess whether revenue, direct costs and shared costs can be attributed meaningfully, so the report does not create false precision.
