What Does A Part-Time Management Accountant Do For A Basingstoke Business?

Secantor's part-time Management Accountants give Basingstoke businesses numbers they can run the business on. Each month they close the figures, set them against budget and explain what has changed, so the owner is not left to interpret a spreadsheet.

  • Monthly accounts. Profit and loss, balance sheet and cash in a consistent layout.
  • Budget comparison. Results against plan and the same month last year.
  • Cash visibility. Debtors, creditors and the cash position in one place.
  • Profitability. Where the business earns its margin, by customer, product or contract.
  • KPIs. A short list of measures agreed with you and reported every month.

For a view on what the numbers mean, add a Part-Time Finance Director, and for funding and strategy a Part-Time CFO.

When Does A Basingstoke Business Need A Part-Time Management Accountant?

Secantor's part-time Management Accountant service suits a Basingstoke business that is making decisions without current numbers. Typical signs are accounts that arrive long after the period they describe, no budget to measure against, no KPIs, bank requests you cannot answer, or an owner relying on instinct. The need is the same at any size; only the detail grows. Our blog on the benefits of management accounts makes the case.

How Does A Management Accountant Help A Business?

Secantor's part-time Management Accountants help Basingstoke businesses by putting reliable numbers in the owner's hands every month. The first change is clarity: profit, cash and performance against plan, month by month. The second is confidence, because the figures stand up when a bank, a shareholder or a manager asks about them.

The third is time. Reporting runs to a routine, so the owner can stop chasing figures and start acting on them. For practical detail, read our guide to how to use management accounts effectively or our article on key performance indicators in business.

How Does A Part-Time Management Accountant Work With You?

Secantor starts a part-time Management Accountant engagement in Basingstoke with a visit to your premises, to see what reporting you have and what you are missing, and then recommends the Management Accountant who suits your business and your systems. After that they work agreed days each month to your reporting calendar, producing the accounts and KPIs and going through them with you.

How Is A Part-Time Management Accountant Priced In Basingstoke?

A part-time Management Accountant from Secantor is priced for each Basingstoke business, according to its size and the reporting it needs. We agree the cost after the first visit and before any work begins, and many businesses start small and build up as the reporting matures. The Free Business Review is the place to start that conversation.

Which Arrangement Suits A Basingstoke Business?

Secantor's part-time Management Accountant is the natural first step for a Basingstoke business whose monthly figures are missing or untrustworthy. If the numbers also need interpreting for the board, add a Part-Time Finance Director. For funding, strategy or a sale, look at a Part-Time CFO, and for a board that lacks an outside voice, a Non-Executive Director. The differences between the models are set out in Fractional vs Part-Time vs Interim CFO.

How Does A Part-Time Management Accountant Work With Your Existing Team?

In a Basingstoke business, Secantor's part-time Management Accountants work beside the bookkeeper, accountants and finance staff and do not replace them. Their reports are built from the records your bookkeeper or accountant keeps. We do not provide bookkeeping or outsourced accounts.

What Is The Free Business Review?

Secantor's Free Business Review costs Basingstoke owners nothing and suits anyone who wants to know what their figures could be telling them. It starts with a chat, followed by a visit from a couple of our team to see how you report today, and ends with an independent view and our recommendation. See the Free Business Review.

Next Steps

Secantor's first step in Basingstoke is a visit. Our Free Business Review opens with a conversation and continues on site, where we look at the reporting you have and the reporting you need. You receive an independent view with no obligation. To talk first, book a discovery call with a Secantor Director.

What Do Basingstoke Business Owners Ask About A Part-Time Management Accountant?

What is the difference between a Management Accountant and my accountant?

A Management Accountant looks forward and your accountant looks back. Your accountant prepares tax, compliance and statutory accounts for past periods. A Secantor Management Accountant gives you the monthly reporting, budgets and KPIs to steer the business now.

What are management accounts?

Management accounts are the monthly reports a business uses to run itself, typically a profit and loss, a balance sheet and a cash position set against budget and previous periods.

Should I start with a Management Accountant or a Finance Director?

A Management Accountant is the right start when the gap is reliable monthly figures. A Finance Director comes in when you also want those figures interpreted and used to steer the business. Plenty of businesses have both.

Do you provide bookkeeping?

No. Your bookkeeper or accountant keeps the records and Secantor builds the management reporting from them.

Do you cover businesses outside Basingstoke town?

Yes. Our Management Accountants visit businesses in Old Basing, Chineham, Hook, Tadley, Kingsclere and Overton, and across north Hampshire.
