Is Your Business Leaving
£50K-80K in Hidden Profit
on the Table?
Most £250k-£5m businesses are. Here's how to find yours.
I'm Rebecca Gould — and in 30 years of finance I've seen the same profit leaks in hundreds of UK businesses. The good news? They're almost always fixable.
✓ For UK limited companies
✓ £250k+ turnover
✓ 30 years finance experience
✓ No obligation
THE HIDDEN PROFIT PROBLEM
Most £250k-£5m businesses have 3-7% of turnover
leaking through profit gaps.
That's £15k-£70k for a £500k business.
The issue? Your numbers are looked at once a year,
after it's too late to fix.

THE PROBLEM
THE OUTCOME
LET'S GET STARTED
Sound familiar?
As a business grows, the numbers often lag behind. That usually shows up as:
• Decisions made on instinct or bank balance — because reliable numbers aren't there when you need them
• Reports that arrive weeks after the month ends — too late to change anything
• Uncertainty about profit, cash and whether you can afford the next hire or investment
• Numbers that explain the past but don't help you plan the future
If your business has outgrown basic bookkeeping, you're not alone — and you're in exactly the right place.
When your finance function works properly:
• You know exactly what's driving profit — and what isn't
• Cash flow becomes predictable, not stressful — you see what's coming before it arrives
• Decisions feel calmer and more confident — based on evidence, not gut feel
• You can plan ahead, hire with confidence and invest without anxiety
We don't just produce the numbers.
We explain what changed, why it matters and what should happen next.
Let's have an honest conversation.

Philip
Engineering Company, West Yorkshire
"Having Rebecca as a partner has transformed our company. She's helped us bring in new customers, tightened our margins and identified profit we were leaving on the table every month. A genuinely different approach to what I expected from a bookkeeper."
Russ
Car Retail Company, South Yorkshire
"The paperwork side of running a car dealership used to be a constant headache — receipts, invoices, part exchanges, it all piled up and was almost impossible to keep on top of. Rebecca sorted all of that. Now our books are up to date every month, we can see exactly what each vehicle has cost us and what margin we made on it, and the monthly management accounts mean we always know where the business stands. I wish we'd done this years ago."
Andy
Construction Company, South Yorkshire
"Before working with Rebecca we only ever saw our numbers once a year when the accountant filed our accounts. By then it was too late to do anything about them. Now our books are updated every week, we can see exactly which jobs are making money and which aren't, and every month Rebecca goes through the accounts with us and flags anything that needs attention. I genuinely didn't realise how useful monthly management accounts could be until we had them."

Hiring finance staff isn't just a cost decision — it's a risk decision.
You focus on running the business. We make sure the numbers support it.
Why Monthly Accounts Beat Annual Accounts
Annual accounts tell you what happened last year.
Monthly management accounts help you change this year.
Here’s the difference:
-
Annual accounts are backward-looking and compliance-focused
-
Monthly management accounts are current, proactive and decision-driven
-
Annual accounts highlight issues once it’s too late to act
-
Monthly management accounts highlight issues while you can still fix them
With monthly management accounts, you can:
-
Monitor profit and margins as the business grows
-
Identify cost creep and pricing issues early
-
Understand cash flow pressures before they become problems
-
Make confident decisions around hiring, investment and growth
If profit and growth matter, relying on annual numbers isn’t enough.
Why We Don’t Do Tax or Year-End Accounts
We Work Alongside Your Accountant — Not Instead of Them
We don't do self-assessment tax returns, corporation tax or Companies House year-end accounts.
We deliberately focus on bookkeeping, monthly management accounts and financial insight — because that's where the most valuable work happens during the year while you're still in a position to act on it.
Your accountant handles the compliance. We handle the picture of your business in real time.
Clean, current books handed to your accountant at year-end. No scramble. No surprises.
Ready to find out what's hiding in your numbers?
