Management Accounts: your questions answered
What are management accounts?
Management accounts are regular internal financial reports, usually monthly or quarterly, that show how your business is performing right now. Unlike statutory year-end accounts, they are designed to help you make decisions while there is still time to act on them.
How are management accounts different from annual accounts?
Annual accounts are a formal, historic record filed with the CRO and Revenue once a year. Management accounts are timely, forward-looking, and built for you, with budgets, forecasts, and the KPIs you care about. One is for compliance, the other is for running the business.
How much do management accounts cost?
Our management accounts start at €250 per month for a quarterly service, with monthly reporting priced higher depending on complexity. The fee is fixed and quoted upfront, and most clients find the decisions it informs pay for it many times over.
Do I need management accounts to get a bank loan?
They help significantly. Banks and investors want to see that you understand your numbers and can forecast cash. A clear management pack and cash-flow forecast strengthen any finance application, and we prepare these specifically for that purpose.
Which businesses benefit most from management accounts?
Growing SMEs, businesses with tight cash flow, and any company seeking finance or planning a big decision. If you are making choices on gut feel because the numbers arrive too late, management accounts are for you.
