Today we want to celebrate our brilliant new client Hana Westbrook and her business ((BOUNCE)) BED Didcot Limited.

We knew that Hana was aligned to our values from the very first exploratory chat and we were extra excited about helping support a female entrepreneur on our very own doorstep in Didcot.

Hana owns the local franchise of ((BOUNCE)) BED, bringing Reformer Pilates classes to life using choreographed routines moving alongside music, to our local community.

BOUNCEFITBODY started as the world’s leading mini trampoline fitness company, founded in the UK in 2014 by CEO Kimberlee Perry, with the main aim being to make fitness fun and accessible for everyone.

In some ways, exercise is a bit like financials. You either love it… or hate it!

But they’re both essential for health. Exercise and moving our bodies in the right way is essential for our personal health… and properly managed financials are essential for the long-term health of any business.

What Hana offers is a different approach to exercise that makes it more appealing and enjoyable. We offer our clients a different approach too. We can’t promise finance meetings with banging tunes but we can promise real human beings who will help you understand and feel more in control of your numbers.

What actually is cash flow… and why does it matter so much?

At Panthera we try to avoid using accounting jargon as much as possible. To help our clients understand and feel more in control of their business finances.

Cash flow is simply the money moving in and out of your business.

Money in:
• Client payments
• Retainers
• Project income

Money out:
• Salaries
• VAT & tax
• Software subscriptions
• Suppliers and overheads

Here’s the important part…

A business can be profitable on paper but still struggle because of poor cash flow.

We see this a lot with service-based businesses.

You might have lots of work coming in, strong sales months, healthy profits… but if customers pay late, costs increase, or tax bills creep up unexpectedly, cash can quickly feel tight.

Good cash flow gives you:
• Stability
• Confidence in decision-making
• Ability to hire and grow
• Less financial stress month to month

Understanding your cash flow is one of the biggest steps towards feeling in control of your business finances – and we’d love to help you do that.

What are the 3 most common mistakes service-based businesses make with their finances?

We speak to so many SME business owners who are brilliant at what they do and still make the same common financial mistakes – simply because they’re busy juggling everything else.

Here are 3 of the most common ones we see:

1. Looking at the bank balance instead of cash flow

Just because there’s money in the bank today doesn’t mean everything is covered next month.

Quick action: Spend 15 minutes each week reviewing upcoming bills, payroll, VAT, and expected income for the next 30–60 days.

2. Not pricing services properly

Many businesses undercharge without realising how much delivery time, overheads, and team costs have increased.

Quick action: Review your pricing at least every 6–12 months and calculate your true profit margin per service.

3. Leaving the finances until year-end

When bookkeeping and reporting are always “something to deal with later”, important decisions get delayed too.

Quick action: Set aside a monthly finance review date to check:
• Profitability
• Cash flow
• Tax liabilities
• Debtors owed

Small, consistent habits usually make the biggest difference over time.

If your finances currently feel messy, overwhelming, or behind… you’re definitely not alone. Most growing businesses go through this at some stage.

Helping service-based business owners take control of their finances is what we’re great at!

Today, we’d like to celebrate the brilliant Abi Morrison!

Abi first came to Panthera in 2023 for work experience, while studying Economics with Business Management at the University of Southampton. From the very beginning, she impressed us with her attitude, professionalism, and willingness to learn, so much so that we invited her back to work with us during the summer holidays. She then continued supporting the team part-time while completing her degree.

In 2024, Abi joined Panthera permanently as an Accounts Technician. Since then, her hard work, dedication, and commitment have seen her progress to Senior Accounts Technician, and most recently, to the role of Accountant.

Abi is a hugely valued member of the Panthera team, and it has been fantastic to watch her grow and develop within the business. She is a true team player who genuinely cares about delivering the best possible support to both her clients and teammates, always bringing positivity, reliability, and professionalism to everything she does.

Please join us in congratulating Abi on her well-deserved promotion. We’re incredibly lucky to have her as part of the team and can’t wait to see what she achieves next.

“As someone who openly hates numbers – they make me hate them a little less. They always take time to talk to me when something feels unclear. I would highly recommend Panthera to anyone who’s looking for an accountant that goes above and beyond and works hard to go deeper than just ‘compliance.”

We love this Google review from our client, Lisa Russell, as it explains exactly what we do.

Many of our clients comes to us either not liking or lacking confidence around financials. It’s often because nobody has explained them in a way that they understand.

There’s nothing that makes us happier than helping our clients to better understand and feel more confident around their numbers.

Do you know your GPM from your NPM?

Some accountants talk in riddles of accounting acronyms, so that most business owners haven’t got a clue what they’re talking about.

We try to do things differently.

We understand that most business owners are not financial experts, so we explain things in a way they understand and avoid using jargon as much as possible.

We also created ‘Accountancy Terms in Plain English’ guide for you to download, to help you understand some of the most common (and not so common) accounting terms. Find it here on our 'How we Help' page https://pantheraaccounting.co.uk/how-we-help

Hi! We’re Panthera Accounting. We work with service-based Limited Company business owners who are tired of feeling reactive, overwhelmed, or unclear about their finances.

Do you receive regular reports from your accountant?

We believe that receiving regular management accounts is important in helping you understand your business financials.

What are management accounts?

Management accounts are simply regular financial reports (usually monthly) that show you what’s really going on in your business right now. Not months after the fact.

They typically cover things like your income, costs, profit, and cash position… but more importantly, they help you understand the story behind the numbers.

Instead of guessing or going on gut feel, you can clearly see:
• What’s working well
• Where money is being lost
• Whether you can afford to grow

Why is this important?

When you understand your numbers, you make better decisions with confidence.

That might mean:
• Hiring your next team member
• Increasing your prices
• Investing in marketing
• Or simply knowing you’re on the right track

We don’t just send reports, we help our clients to understand them. We send them with a short explanatory video, or if they opt into our Business Improvement Program we have a regular online meeting to go discuss them.

No jargon. No overwhelm. Just clear insight that helps you move forward with certainty.

Because the goal isn’t just to have numbers… it’s to feel confident using them to take your business to the next level.

Are you struggling to grow your business beyond £500K?

There’s a point in many growing businesses where things start to feel unexpectedly heavy.

The business is doing well on paper. Revenue has grown, clients are coming in consistently, and the team has expanded. From the outside, it probably looks like success. Yet behind the scenes, many business owners feel more stretched than ever.

We often speak to business owners around the £300K–£700K turnover mark who say things like:

“We’re busier than we’ve ever been, but I still don’t feel fully in control.”
Or:
“The business has grown, but it doesn’t actually feel easier.”

That stage can be incredibly frustrating because the business is no longer small, but it hasn’t yet become structured or sustainable enough to feel calm either.

Many businesses plateau around this point.

Not because the owner lacks ambition or capability, and not because demand disappears. More often, the business has simply outgrown the systems, habits and visibility that worked in the earlier years.

Growth creates complexity

One of the biggest misconceptions about growth is that bigger businesses naturally become easier to run.
In reality, growth often creates more complexity before it creates more stability.

At this stage, businesses are usually managing:
• a growing team
• higher monthly overheads
• more client delivery pressure
• inconsistent cashflow
• and increasing operational demands

The owner also tends to become involved in almost every decision.

We recently worked with a business owner who described it as:

“The business has grown faster than the way we’re actually running it.”

That’s a very common experience.

Many service-based businesses grow organically over time. The owner is good at what they do, clients recommend them, the workload increases, and new people are brought in to help. Processes evolve gradually and decisions are often made reactively because there simply isn’t time to step back properly.

Over time, the business becomes harder to clearly “see”.
