You can be profitable and still feel squeezed when:

• Debtors grow (cash trapped in unpaid invoices)
• Stock/WIP grows (cash trapped in work not yet billed)
• Tax/VAT builds up quietly then lands in one go
A quick control: reconcile the movement in cash to what changed in debtors, stock/WIP, and tax balances.

If you can’t explain the gap, you can’t manage it.

When you have a team, “good bookkeeping” is less about admin and more about control.

Three things I’d expect in a growing business:
• Bank reconciled weekly (so cash isn’t a mystery)
• Clear rules for coding common spend (so reporting isn’t random)
• A month-end close that happens on a date, not “when we get time”
If your numbers arrive late, you end up managing on instinct. That’s expensive as you build a team.

Most “environmental” wins in a business are also profit wins. Less waste. Fewer repeat tasks. Tighter spend.

For World Environment Day, three places I’d look for waste that shows up in overheads:
• Duplicate tools and subscriptions nobody owns
• Rework caused by messy handoffs (sales → delivery → invoicing)
• Poor purchasing control (small spends compounding)
One simple habit: review your top 10 overhead lines monthly and assign an owner to each.

World Environment Day is 5 June. https://www.worldenvironmentday.global/

Most businesses don’t have a profit problem. They have a customer mix problem.

I’ve published a new blog: Client Profitability: How to Find Your Best and Worst Customers Using Your Accounts Data.

It shows a simple way to use what you already have in your accounts to spot:
• Which customers fund growth
• Which customers drain margin (without you noticing)
• Where pricing, scope, or process needs tightening
You don’t need complex spreadsheets. You need straightforward categories and a consistent way to review the same questions each month.

VAT issues are rarely dramatic. They’re usually small inconsistencies repeated for months.

Three preventables:
• Not reconciling VAT monthly (even if you file quarterly)
• Unclear treatment for mixed or unusual items
• “We’ll fix it later” items left sitting in holding accounts
• Consistency is the win. A short VAT rules list for your business avoids repeated judgement calls.

If your management accounts don’t change decisions, they’re just a history report.

A useful monthly pack should answer:
• What happened (sales, margin, overhead)
• Why it happened (the few drivers that matter)
• What we’re doing next (3 actions, owned, dated)
You’re not paying for pages. You’re investing in control.

If your finance system is “everyone has the login”, you don’t have control. You have luck.

With World Password Day tomorrow, three basics that protect your money and your data:
• Unique logins for everyone (no shared accounts)
• Two-factor authentication where available
• Proper permissions: who can raise bills, approve, pay, and change bank details
• Most fraud and errors happen through simple gaps, not sophisticated attacks.

Good bookkeeping isn’t tidy admin. It’s fast, accurate numbers you can act on.

In a growing business, I look for:
• Bank reconciled weekly (not when a VAT return is due)
• Clear coding rules for repeat spend
• A clean month-end close with notes on what changed
• If the books can’t explain movements in margin, debtors, or overheads, the business is flying on assumptions.

Great news if you hate spreadsheets!

Most founders avoid forecasting because they think it means building a massive spreadsheet.

It doesn’t. I’ve just published a new blog: Cash Flow Forecasting for Limited Companies: A Simple Process You Can Run in 30 Minutes a Week.

It’s a straightforward weekly routine that helps you:
• See cash pinch points before they hit
• Make decisions earlier (chase, pause spend, adjust plans)
• Stop getting surprised by “lumpy” payments like payroll, VAT/tax, supplier runs
Forecasting isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being less surprised.

If you want me to show you what a simple forecast looks like for your business (using your real numbers), book a call, the link is in my bio.

Bank holiday weeks create cash surprises when payments and chasing slip.

When you’re back at your desk, do this:
• Bring invoicing forward (today, not “later in the week”)
• Run a 20-minute debtor list: who’s due, who needs a nudge
• Check what’s leaving the bank before next Monday (suppliers, payroll, VAT/tax)
It’s not about micromanaging. It’s about not letting one long weekend create two weeks of firefighting.
