Most profit leaks aren’t big. They’re “small extras” that never get billed.

If you sell projects or retainers, tighten three things:
• What’s included (in plain English)
• What counts as a change (examples, not vague wording)
• Who approves changes before the work happens
You can be great at delivery and still lose money if scope is loose.

Good bookkeeping isn’t something your admin assistant can do. Sure, they can chase the paperwork but good bookkeeping means numbers you can make decisions from.

In practice, that means:
• Bank reconciled weekly (so cash isn’t a mystery)
• Clear coding rules (so reporting isn’t random)
• A month-end close that happens on a date, not “when we get time”
If your figures arrive late, you end up managing on instinct. That gets expensive once the team grows.

Turnover can go up while profit goes down.

Three reasons it happens in growing businesses:
• You sell more low-margin work (or discount more often)
• Delivery costs rise and prices don’t move with them
• Overheads creep in small monthly chunks
A simple check: compare gross margin % this month vs the same month last year. If it’s down, you don’t have a sales problem. You have a margin problem.

Most business owners don’t need more reports. They need a small set of numbers they actually use.

I’ve published a new blog: A Simple KPI Dashboard for Limited Company Owners: The 8 Metrics That Drive Profit.

It’s built for real operators:
• A handful of metrics that show performance and cash movement
• A simple way to spot margin drift early
• A cadence that turns numbers into decisions (not screenshots)
• If you’ve got 5+ staff, “gut feel” stops scaling. You need signals you can trust.

Overheads rarely explode. They creep. ☔

A simple monthly control: review your top 10 overhead lines and ask:
• Do we still need it?
• Is it being used properly?
• Who owns it?
The goal isn’t cutting for the sake of it. It’s being intentional so profit doesn’t get diluted as you grow.

Cashflow doesn’t improve because you “try harder”. It improves because you collect on time. 💴

A debtor rhythm that works without drama:
• Invoice the same day delivery is complete
• Confirm the payment date in writing
• Chase weekly, same day/time, owned by one person
Consistency keeps it professional. It also protects relationships because it is a process.

If your management accounts don’t lead to decisions, they’re just a history lesson.

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

If you don’t track job profitability, you’ll keep winning work that makes you busy and poor.

You don’t need perfection. You need consistency:
• A standard way to tag income and direct costs by job/client
• A habit of reviewing the bottom 3 jobs every month
• A rule for fixing the cause (pricing, scope, delivery process)
Most margin leaks repeat because nobody labels them early.

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.
