Budget vs Actual Analysis
The power of management accounts lies in comparison. We compare your actual monthly results against your budget, line by line.
This immediately highlights where you are overspending, underperforming, or exceeding expectations. It turns raw numbers into actionable intelligence.
- Line-by-line variance analysis
- Overspend flagging
- Revenue tracking
- Trend identification
KPI Dashboards
Numbers are meaningless without context. We create a custom KPI dashboard that tracks the metrics that matter to YOUR business.
For a retailer, it might be Gross Margin per product line. For a service business, it might be Revenue per Employee. We identify the 5-7 KPIs that drive your business and track them monthly.
- Custom KPI selection
- Visual dashboards
- Monthly trend tracking
- Industry benchmarking
Departmental Reporting
If your business has multiple departments, branches, or product lines, you need to know which ones are profitable and which are dragging you down.
We set up your chart of accounts to enable departmental reporting, giving you a clear view of profitability per segment without needing complex ERP software.
- Segmented reporting
- Profitability per department
- Cost allocation
- Branch comparison
