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

A Management Accountant resolves the reporting problems common in owner-managed businesses: late figures, manual reporting, too much reliance on one person and statutory accounts that show what happened last year but not what is happening now. 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. The areas of support typically include:

  • Monthly accounts: profit and loss, balance sheet and cash set out the same way each month.
  • 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 handful of measures agreed with you, reported at each month end.
  • Forecasts: budgets and rolling forecasts, feeding into a three to five year forecast model where the business wants one.

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.

What Owners Notice When The Figures Arrive On Time

Secantor's part-time Management Accountants change how a Basingstoke business sees itself. Profit, cash and performance against plan arrive each month in the same layout, so the owner can compare one month with the next. Confidence follows, because the figures hold up when a bank, a shareholder or a manager asks about them.

Routine does the rest. With reporting on a timetable, owners spend fewer hours hunting for figures and more of them using the figures to decide. For practical detail, see our guide to using management accounts effectively and our piece on key performance indicators in business.

How A Part-Time Management Accountant Works With You

A part-time Management Accountant from Secantor starts in a Basingstoke business by finding out what reporting you have and what is missing. The diagnostic phase is spent with your records, the systems and processes that feed them, the month end routine, and the questions of who produces what and how the reports get used. Together you agree an improvement plan for the reporting and carry it out alongside the first monthly cycles, after which the Management Accountant works agreed days each month to your reporting calendar, producing the accounts and KPIs and taking you through them.

Secantor suggests the Management Accountant best suited to your business and your systems, or more than one for you to choose between. Every advisor is personally accredited by our directors. Your Management Accountant works on the finance side of your team and answers for the monthly reporting.

Building On The Records Already Kept

Frequently Asked Questions About Part-Time Management Accountants In Basingstoke

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?

Begin with a Management Accountant if the gap is reliable monthly figures. A Finance Director joins the picture when you also want those figures interpreted and used to steer the business.

Is a part-time Management Accountant a consultant?

No. Consultants hand over advice and depart. A Secantor Management Accountant joins your team, answers for the monthly reporting and stays on hand to keep it accurate and punctual.

Do you provide bookkeeping?

No. We leave bookkeeping to your bookkeeper or accountant and build the management reporting on the records they hold.

Do you cover businesses outside Basingstoke town?

Yes. Businesses in Old Basing, Chineham, Hook, Tadley, Kingsclere and Overton can use a Secantor Management Accountant, as can those across north Hampshire.
