Monthly accounting for a consistent financial picture
Bring reconciliations, reporting and outstanding queries into an agreed monthly cycle. Support for owners and finance teams who need current, explainable accounts.
What the work covers
Use this scope to identify what you need. Your proposal will confirm the services, records, reporting frequency and fees for your business.
- Bank and control-account reconciliations
- An agreed set of management reports
- A list of missing records and unresolved balances
- Month-end journals and supporting schedules
- A review of material movements and next actions
What to prepare
Tell us which records are available and where there are gaps. We can then distinguish ongoing work from any initial catch-up.
- Bank statements and access to the agreed accounting records
- Sales, purchase and payroll information for the period
- Loan, asset and other balance-sheet schedules
- Previous closing balances and known outstanding issues
Timing and responsibility
Timing depends on the records, approvals and work required. Tell us about any deadline at the start. The engagement should identify the person handling your work, the review responsibilities and any external specialist needed.
Agree the close before setting a reporting date
Identify when sales, expenses and payroll information will be available. Set a date for client queries and approvals, then agree when the reports can be prepared. Missing records should remain visible in an exceptions list rather than being hidden in a suspense balance.
Read the reports together
Profit and available cash can move in different directions. Review debtor collections, supplier payments, loan movements and owner transactions alongside the income statement. Your reporting pack should explain material changes and identify which balances still depend on information from your team.

Questions before you start
Does monthly accounting include every tax return?
Only the tax types and periods expressly included in the engagement. Confirm annual statements, payroll, tax submissions and historical cleanup separately.
Can you work with an internal bookkeeper?
Yes. Agree who captures transactions, reconciles accounts, prepares reports and approves adjustments so the work does not overlap.
