Follow activity across the month-end boundary
A trade job can use materials before the customer invoice is issued. A wholesale delivery can be received before the supplier bill arrives. We identify those timing questions instead of treating the bank feed as a complete account of the month.
The scope can include account reconciliations, customer and supplier balances, payroll entries, tax controls and reporting. We agree which schedules matter to the decisions you make and who supplies the evidence.
Review the items that need an owner
An exceptions list separates missing receipts from unapproved costs and collection issues. Each significant item should have a responsible person and a next step. That keeps unfinished administration from becoming a permanent balance in the accounting file.
Illustrative example: a supplier and a contractor
A Surrey installer owes a wholesaler $9,000 while awaiting $13,500 from two completed jobs. Showing those balances together gives the owner a more useful payment conversation than the current bank balance alone. The report can distinguish an overdue customer invoice from an amount still awaiting sign-off.
Questions about this work
What records should we provide each month?
Statements for every account, sales and settlement records, supplier invoices, payroll reports and explanations for unusual items. We tailor the list to the business.
Can we add job reports later?
Yes. We first confirm that the coding and source documents support the detail, then agree the extra reporting scope.
