Why Last Year’s Numbers Are Not Enough to Run Today’s Business
- 11th February 2026
Annual accounts provide a historic view of performance, but they are rarely sufficient for businesses making regular commercial decisions.
Management accounting and virtual FD support offer timely insight into cashflow, profitability and trends. This enables owners to spot issues earlier, plan with confidence and respond proactively rather than reactively.
Businesses relying solely on historic data often find themselves making decisions without full visibility. Regular reporting and strategic input change that dynamic, providing clarity and direction.
“Good decisions come from good information. Management accounts give business owners that clarity.”
Paul Tofton, Partner, Forrester Boyd
