Most businesses now operate in a dynamic environment, hence the reason why out-of-date financial reporting has little use in any progressive organisation. The interpretation of the story behind your accounting figures is as important as the figures themselves. Recognising the patterns and trends which are emerging will help you understand their impact on future performance.
A budget or forecast is a planning tool which will include some speculation and guesswork as well as some time-tested knowledge of seasonal patterns and behaviours. It's important to understand why differences occur so we can see what impact that can have on the company's finances as a result. Are these results a one-off occurrence or are our suppliers proving unreliable in the longer term and can we sustain levels at the forecast margins?

When I set up The Brainminer I could not have had better coaching or business guidance than I got from Aileen. At a scary but exciting point in the evolution of a new business she made everything understandable and simple. She reassured and supported. Her thorough but broad advice ranged from tax and VAT consultation to wider business support like cash flow and client billing.
