We do not require access to your accounting software, bank statements, invoices, payroll records or individual transactions, so we do not examine the day-to-day details of how your business operates. Our review is based only on the final year-end balances shown in your accounts and comparative trial balance. We analyse the overall movements and explain what the figures show in a personalised, plain-English report.
What you receive
An independent companion to your accounts.
A personalised plain-English report containing our comments on the significant movements shown by the final figures. It is not another set of accounts and it is not an audit.

What we bring
A clearer understanding of your numbers.
Completed annual accounts can sometimes leave people running owner-managed businesses unsure about what the figures mean or which movements deserve their attention. This often raises familiar questions, including “Did the business really make that much?” and “Where did the money go?”
What Your Numbers Say provides a private, independent and plain-English explanation of the important movements shown by the final figures. It also explains the main movements affecting cash, helping owners understand why profit and the bank balance differ and what influenced the company’s cash position during the year.
With a clearer understanding of what has been reported, owners can feel more confident about their numbers, identify areas they may want to monitor and approach the year ahead with greater awareness.
