01 / Business context
The starting point
Draft narrative: The business had accounting support but needed a timely management view of performance and upcoming cash commitments. The engagement should explain how finance leadership complemented the existing accountant and CA.
02 / The challenge
Accounting records existed, but management reporting and forward cash visibility were not arriving in time for decisions.
Draft narrative: Reports arrived after key operating decisions, and near-term collections and payments were viewed separately. Confirm the starting reporting cadence and the decisions that lacked reliable information.
03 / Our approach
How the work takes shape
Proposed engagement narrative — confirm the activities actually delivered.
Establish the reporting baseline
Review source records, reporting responsibilities and the monthly close. Agree the measures that matter to the promoter and identify reconciliation gaps.
Create a connected cash view
Bring expected collections, committed payments and operating assumptions into a rolling forecast. Assign update owners and explain where estimates remain uncertain.
Set a management review rhythm
Introduce a reporting calendar, variance commentary and a monthly review with named action owners. Coordinate with existing advisers on accounting and compliance inputs.
04 / The change
What the evidence should show
Illustrative values only. These are drafting examples, not customer results or promised outcomes.
Monthly management report
- Starting point · example
- Day 25
- Reference result · example
- Day 10
Evidence to confirm: Report issue dates before and after implementation; days measured from month-end.
Forward cash visibility
- Starting point · example
- No rolling forecast
- Reference result · example
- 13-week view
Evidence to confirm: Dated forecast and update history. Forecast coverage does not establish accuracy.
Draft outcome wording: A regular management pack and rolling cash forecast gave the promoter a common basis for reviewing performance, upcoming commitments and corrective actions. Substantiate any claim about savings, margins or better cash conversion separately.
