M‑Accounting / Reports & statements

Board pack and audit pack, out of the system.

Statement of comprehensive income, statement of financial position, statement of cash flows, debtors and creditors reports — for any period, from the same ledger you worked in all month. Anything else you are required to produce, we build.

Free while you migrate. Your own figures. Reports on request.
Statement of financial position, straight from the ledger.
Statement of financial position, straight from the ledger.

The current way

Reporting season should not be a project

If the statements are assembled by hand each period, they arrive late, they arrive different, and nobody can say which version is right.

Current way
Statements are rebuilt in a spreadsheet each period.
Consequence
Weeks of work, and two people produce two different answers.
Bigger problem
The board makes decisions on figures nobody will stand behind.
Current way
The debtors list is compiled when somebody asks for it.
Consequence
It is out of date the day it is printed, so collection is uneven.
Bigger problem
Cash you have already earned never arrives.
Current way
The report the bank or funder wants does not exist.
Consequence
Somebody spends a week producing it by hand, annually.
Bigger problem
Funding and facilities are delayed by your own reporting.

How it works with M‑Accounting instead

One ledger, every report

Because every subsystem posts to the same accounts, the statements are a view of your books rather than a reconstruction of them.

Set up
Reports mapped to your accounts
Your chart of accounts is mapped to the statement lines you report on, once, so every period after that is instant.
Mapped once
Your statement lines
Any period
Result
Reports match the format you already present in.
Eliminate
No spreadsheet assembly
Comprehensive income, financial position and cash flows are produced from the ledger for whatever period you ask for.
The three statements
Any period
One source
Result
Month end becomes a review, not a rebuild.
Automate
Debtors and creditors, always current
Receivables and payables ageing update as invoices, receipts, bills and payments land — so the collection list is live.
Debtors ageing
Creditors ageing
Live, not compiled
Result
Chasing happens from a list that is right today.
Output
Whatever else you are asked for
Board packs, funder returns, regulator schedules, departmental or project reports — tell us what you must produce and we build it into your system.

Built on request

You stop producing reports by hand.

Worried about your reports?

Boards, funders and regulators all read them. Here's how M‑Accounting produces the reports you already present, in the format they expect.

You might be thinking
“Our board expects a specific format.”
What we do
We match your format.
Send the pack you present today and the reports are mapped to it, line for line.
Report mapping during setup.
You might be thinking
“We need a report you do not have.”
What we do
Then we build it.
Any other key report can be done on request — it is part of how we work, not a change order.
Reports built on request.
You might be thinking
“Will the figures agree with our accountant's?”
What we do
Run a period in parallel.
Produce a full period both ways and compare the statements before you switch. If they do not agree, you owe nothing.
A full period run both ways, then compared.
