"…The work included preparation of annual and monthly budgets, and the set up and supply of regular internal management reports, including comments on performance against budget, and monthly forecasts. These reports were very helpful to Directors in analyzing revenue and costs, reviewing overdue accounts, preparing for cash flow fluctuations, and forecasting the effect of changes in profitability margins….

We found Geoff very easy to work with, and have no hesitation in recommending him to any organization that needs general accountancy or secretarial support, and in particular the provision or review of internal management reports on performance..."
