THE WHOLE BUSINESS, IN CONTEXT
Understand reported margins, examine spending and identify which assumptions need checking before cutting a cost.
Keep profit separate from cash. Review overdue payments, upcoming commitments and the evidence needed before investing.
Find bottlenecks and dependencies. Compare process improvements, tools, outsourcing and hiring where the evidence supports them.
LESS RETYPING. MORE USEFUL CONTEXT.
Enter your business name and website. We research what you do and relevant competitors; goals and private context can be added later through Edit.
Add a PDF, spreadsheet or photo of your accounts, or enter a few figures manually. A P&L and balance sheet are useful starting points.
Validated figures feed into your whole-business review and saved action plan. Conflicting or uncertain figures appear as specific corrections for you to check.
Companies House helps establish your registered company and directors, with a short match check where identity is ambiguous. Xero and QuickBooks connections are awaiting activation; upload reports exported from your accounting software in the meantime. Public company accounts are historical and may omit operating detail.

Your review may recommend delaying a hire, keeping a cost that protects quality or testing a simpler process before buying software.
