Financial Reports

Recording is the input; reports are the point

Plenty of businesses record everything diligently and never turn it into anything useful. That is the work done and the payoff skipped.

Bank balance is not profit. A healthy-looking balance can contain GST you have collected and owe, wages due next week, and deposits for work not yet delivered. Owners running on bank balance alone tend to discover this when the quarterly activity statement falls due.

What you get

A monthly profit and loss showing what you actually earned and where it went, your cash position, and an aged receivables summary showing who owes you and for how long. Delivered in a form you can read in fifteen minutes without an accounting background.

What it lets you see

• A job type whose margin has quietly disappeared as costs rose and quoting did not
• Subscriptions nobody has opened in a year
• A supplier price rise that arrived without announcement
• A customer drifting from 30 days to 75

None of these need clever analysis. They need numbers recent enough that the pattern is still worth acting on.
