Management accounts · Philip Barnes & Co · Tamworth & Uttoxeter

Figures that tell you what to do next, not just what happened.

We prepare quarterly and monthly management accounts for owner-managed businesses across Staffordshire — accurate, timely, and built to inform decisions, not to sit in a drawer.

Turning figures into decisions

Management accounts that mean something.

Most businesses produce management accounts because their bank asks for them. We prepare them because they are the clearest way to see whether the business is going where you intend.

We handle the preparation and interpretation of quarterly or monthly management accounts. That means the numbers arrive on time, in a format you can read, with a partner who can explain what they are telling you and what, if anything, you should do about it.

The work goes beyond a set of figures. We benchmark your financial performance against comparable businesses, build cashflow projections, and — where the business warrants it — contribute at boardroom level as a part-time FD. The aim is always the same: accounts that are accurate, timely, meaningful, and acted upon.

What's included

The full scope of the engagement.

Management accounts from Philip Barnes & Co are not a single deliverable. The engagement is shaped around what the business actually needs.

  1. 01

    Quarterly or monthly reporting

    Profit and loss, balance sheet, and commentary — on a timetable that suits the business.

    We produce management accounts at the frequency that matches your decision-making cycle, with a partner available to walk through the numbers.

  2. 02

    Benchmarking

    Your performance set against comparable businesses in your sector.

    We benchmark your margins, overhead ratios, and growth trajectory so you know whether the business is performing as well as it should.

  3. 03

    Cashflow projections

    Forward-looking cashflow modelling with recommendations attached.

    We build cashflow projections and tell you plainly what they mean for the business — including where the pressure points are and how to manage them.

  4. 04

    Raising finance support

    Management accounts prepared to the standard lenders and investors expect.

    When you need external finance, we ensure the management accounts present the business clearly and credibly to banks and other funders.

  5. 05

    Company valuation

    For sale, succession, or shareholder purposes.

    We carry out company valuations as a standalone exercise or as part of a broader exit or succession planning engagement.

  6. 06

    Boardroom FD contribution

    A partner at the table when the business needs a finance director's perspective.

    For businesses that need more than a set of accounts, we contribute at boardroom level — attending meetings, challenging assumptions, and helping the business think clearly about its finances.

If your accounts arrive late and nobody explains them, that is worth changing.
