      A chartered accountant reviews and signs every position we publish. Nothing described as an opinion leaves this firm unreviewed.

      Why daily matters

      Most owners find out too late

      A client last saw real numbers eight months before we met him. He lost a sale because due diligence found what the year-end couldn't explain.

      Another discovered three unprofitable clients were quietly funding the other nine. The year-end accounts had never put it that way.

      Neither owner was careless. Their accountant just wasn't looking until it was time to file. We look every working day. If something needs your attention, you hear about it that week, not at year-end.

      Monthly InsightsJune 2026

      June closed at £9,140 profit on £41,220 revenue, £2,300 ahead of May. The improvement is explained by the Fenwick project completing without the subcontract costs May carried.

      Debtor days rose from 31 to 44. £18,400 of receivables is now over 60 days old. Chase the three balances that account for most of it before the quarter end.
