Numbers you can run the business on, by the tenth of every month.
Statutory accounts tell you what happened last year. Management accounts tell you what is happening now: gross margin by product line, cash runway, which customer is late and which channel is quietly losing money.
The whole job, not the visible half.
Everything below is in scope on the plan that includes management accounts & reporting. Nothing on this list is an add-on.
- Monthly P&L against budget and prior year, with variance commentary
- Balance sheet with every line reconciled and explained
- Cash position, cash movement and a rolling forecast
- Gross margin by product, channel, entity or project
- A KPI page built around the five numbers that actually move your business
- A 30-minute review call each month, or each quarter on the Growth plan
Three situations we see every week.
Founders making decisions on a bank balance
Cash in the bank is not profit, and profit is not cash. Management accounts show both and the gap between them.
Businesses with a board or investors
A consistent monthly pack ends the scramble before every board meeting and builds the track record a future round will be priced on.
Multi-channel sellers
Amazon, Shopify, wholesale and retail can each be profitable or not. Blended figures hide which.
Four steps, then a rhythm.
Define the pack
We agree the five KPIs, the segmentation and the format with you in the first month, then keep it stable so trends are visible.
Close the books
The pack is only as good as the ledger. Monthly close comes first.
Build and review
Accounts are prepared, reviewed by a senior accountant and annotated with what changed and why.
Decide
The review call is for decisions: pricing, hiring, spend, funding. Not for reading numbers aloud.
The rules differ. So does the work.
The same service, applied to each jurisdiction's law. Figures checked September 2026.
Presented in GBP with VAT excluded from revenue so margins are true. Corporation tax is accrued monthly at the marginal rate so the year-end bill is already in the numbers.
Everything about the UK ↗Presented in AED with the 9 percent corporate tax accrued above the AED 375,000 threshold, so the first return under the new regime holds no surprises.
Everything about the UAE ↗Presented in USD with state sales tax kept as a liability, estimated federal and state taxes accrued quarterly, and 1099 contractor costs tracked separately.
Everything about the USA ↗One senior accountant. One flat fee. Three countries.
Group figures are Shaazford Global LLC's published numbers across all its service lines.
How is this different from bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping produces a correct ledger. Management accounts interpret it: margins, trends, variances and a forecast, with someone senior explaining what they mean.
Can you build a budget?
Yes. An annual budget is set with you before your financial year starts, then the monthly pack reports against it.
Do you consolidate group companies?
Yes, including intercompany eliminations and currency translation for groups trading in the UK, the UAE and the US.
What if I only need this quarterly?
The Growth plan includes a quarterly pack and review call. Monthly is standard on Scale.
