Management Accounting

Quarterly or monthly management accounts that turn your figures into decisions — prepared and interpreted by Philip Barnes & Co Chartered Accountants in Tamworth, Staffordshire.

What we do

Turn your numbers into decisions

Management accounts are the lynchpin of a successful business — the point at which figures become actionable information.

Philip Barnes & Co works closely with clients to prepare and interpret management accounts on a quarterly or monthly basis. The goal is always the same: accounts that are accurate, timely, meaningful, and — crucially — acted upon.

As ICAEW Chartered Accountants, we bring the same rigour to your management reporting that we apply to statutory work. That means you receive numbers you can trust, presented in a way that supports real decisions rather than sitting in a drawer.

What's included

Management accounts services

We tailor the scope to your business — from a lean monthly pack to a full boardroom FD contribution. Core options include:

  • 01

    Quarterly or monthly reports

    Regular management accounts prepared to a timetable that suits your business cycle — monthly for fast-moving operations, quarterly where a broader view is more useful.

  • 02

    Boardroom FD contribution

    We attend board or management meetings to present the numbers, challenge assumptions, and act as a sounding board — giving you the benefit of a finance director without the full-time cost.

  • 03

    Benchmarking

    We compare your financial performance against relevant sector benchmarks, so you can see where you stand relative to comparable businesses and identify where to focus improvement.

  • 04

    Cash flow projections and recommendations

    Forward-looking cash flow modelling built from your actual trading data, with clear recommendations on timing, reserves, and any pressure points on the horizon.

  • 05

    Raising finance support

    When you need to approach a bank or investor, we prepare the management information pack and projections that lenders expect — presented in a format that supports your case.

  • 06

    Company valuation

    Whether you are planning a sale, bringing in a new shareholder, or simply want to understand what the business is worth, we provide a considered valuation grounded in your management accounts.

How it works

Getting started with management accounts

Free 30-minute consultation

We talk through your current reporting, what decisions you need to make, and whether monthly or quarterly accounts are the right cadence for your business.

We agree the scope and timetable

We meet your team, understand your bookkeeping setup, and agree exactly what the management pack will cover — and when you'll receive it each period.

First management accounts delivered

Your first pack arrives on schedule — with a clear narrative alongside the numbers, benchmarking where relevant, and a cash flow view if included in scope.

Ongoing partnership

Each period we review the numbers with you, flag anything that needs attention, and feed the management accounts into your year-end and tax planning work.
