Management accounts, cash flow forecasting, business planning and start-up advisory support from a chartered accountancy practice with over 20 years of professional experience.
Most accounting services focus on what has already happened. Accounts are prepared after the year has ended. Tax returns are filed after income has been earned. VAT returns are submitted after the quarter has closed.
Advisory services are different. They focus on what is happening now and what is likely to happen next.
Management accounts give you a clear picture of your current financial position. Cash flow forecasting helps you plan ahead and avoid problems before they arrive. Business planning support helps you structure your thinking and test your assumptions before committing to a course of action.
At Qestor, we provide advisory services for business owners who want more from their accountant than a set of year-end accounts and a tax return. We help you understand your numbers, identify where improvements can be made and make better decisions with more confidence.
We prepare regular management accounts for business owners who want to understand their financial performance throughout the year rather than only at year-end.
Management accounts typically include a profit and loss account, balance sheet and key performance metrics for the period. We present them in a format that is easy to understand and explain what the figures mean for your business.
Monthly or quarterly management accounts give you the information you need to make timely decisions and spot trends before they become problems.

Cash flow is one of the most common causes of financial difficulty for small businesses. A business can be profitable on paper and still run into problems if cash is not coming in at the right time.
We prepare cash flow forecasts that show projected income and expenditure over a set period, helping you anticipate shortfalls, plan for large payments such as tax bills and make informed decisions about spending and investment.
Whether you are starting a new business, considering a significant change or preparing for growth, a clear business plan helps you test your thinking, identify risks and present your plans to banks, investors or partners.
We help business owners develop financial projections, review assumptions and structure their plans in a way that is realistic and well-supported by the numbers.
We review the financial performance of your business to identify where profit is being generated, where costs are higher than they should be and where improvements could have the most impact.
A profitability review gives you a clearer picture of which parts of your business are working and which may need attention.
Starting a business involves a range of financial and tax decisions that are easy to get wrong without proper advice at the outset.
We help new businesses choose the right structure, understand their tax obligations from the beginning, set up accounting records correctly and plan their finances for the early months of trading.
Getting these foundations right saves time and money later.
Our advisory services are relevant to the following types of clients.
Many business owners can read a bank balance but find it harder to understand what their profit and loss account or balance sheet is telling them. We bridge that gap.
As a business grows, the financial decisions become more significant. Advisory support helps business owners make those decisions with better information.
Whether you are taking on new staff, moving premises, launching a new product or considering an acquisition, advisory support helps you plan the financial impact before committing.
Early-stage businesses benefit most from getting their financial foundations right. We help start-ups set up correctly and understand their obligations from day one.
Year-end accounts tell you what happened. Management accounts tell you what is happening.
For a business owner making decisions about pricing, staffing, investment or cash flow, information that is six months old is often too late to act on. Regular management accounts give you current, relevant financial data to work with.
Businesses that review management accounts regularly are better placed to spot problems early, take advantage of opportunities and plan ahead with confidence.
