Back at your desk after the summer? September is a genuinely useful month if your financial year ends in December.
You have about four months left to change how the year turns out. That is enough time to chase the invoices that have been sitting since spring, look at costs that crept in without anyone really deciding to add them, and work out whether profit is anywhere near where you assumed it would be back in January.
It is also the right time to think about cash in the new year rather than cash this month. A quiet December followed by supplier payments and a tax bill is what catches out businesses that were profitable the whole way through.
Leave all of this until November and you are not managing the year anymore; you are just watching it finish.
If your numbers are arriving too late to be much use, we can help with that.
