Management Accounts are essential for business leaders to make informed decisions, track performance, and identify trends that can influence business choices. Unlike statutory accounts, which are required for tax and regulatory purposes, management accounts are used internally to help drive business growth and operational efficiency. They are usually prepared on a monthly or quarterly basis, allowing for timely decision-making and swift response to changing market conditions.
Management Accounts are future-oriented and can be flexed to meet the specific requirements of management for planning and controlling purposes. Up to date financial information is vitally important and having regular Management Accounts that report on the here and now allows businesses to make great, informed, strategic decision at, crucially, the right time.
