Management Accounts

Monitoring and controlling the financial performance of your business is vital to your continued success. Despite the best intentions, many small businesses choose to prepare their own management accounts, often creating inaccurate reports.

We can take the headache away from you by providing accurate and timely management information from which you can make effective and well informed decisions. We can either carry out this function in full, or help you set up and maintain internal controls to generate the information.

A countless number of small businesses tend not to prepare periodical management accounts internally or externally at all, and rely solely on the year end accounts to review the business's performance and make management decisions from these results. These figures are historical and can often be out of date for decision making purposes.

Our regular bookkeeping services, that include management accounts, VAT, payroll and as well as specific business project analysis, ensure that we become a valuable and trusted partner to develop and grow your business.

Business Start-Ups

Most people who start up in business do so because they have a good business proposition and the desire, enterprise and commitment to see it through, and not because they are experts in the legal and financial aspects of running a business.

These matters can be daunting and off-putting for entrepreneurs. The good news is you don’t need to be an expert in these matters, all you need is the support of a good team.

Lewis & Co will evaluate your business ideas in a constructive and realistic manner and we can also help you:

  • decide on the most suitable structure for your business – sole trader, partnership, or limited company
  • prepare a business plan, cashflow projections and forecasts
  • complete any registration procedures with Companies House, Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise
  • deal with company secretarial issues

Call Lewis & Co today for a free preliminary evaluation and make sure your new business proposal starts off on a positive footing.
