The five numbers that actually run the business
Management accounting and KPI dashboards built around the decisions you make weekly, not the reports your software prints by default.

Part of the IR Property Group one-roof team
Separate businesses. One roof. One plan.
Reporting is a design problem
Most accounting software can produce forty reports. Almost none of them tell you what to do on Monday. The work is choosing the handful of measures that predict the outcome, then making them visible and current.
For a trades business it might be quoted-versus-won, average job value and gross margin per crew. For a retailer, stock turn and wage cost percentage. For a professional practice, utilisation and work in progress.
We build the pack once, then keep it honest: budget against actual, with the variance explained rather than just printed.
A useful monthly pack
- Cash position and 13-week outlook
- Revenue against budget, with the reason
- Gross margin by service or product
- Three leading indicators for next month

Prerequisites
- Bookkeeping current to last month

How a referral between businesses works
When the right next step sits with another business in the group, we ask you first. You decide whether the introduction happens.
- Client consent first — nothing about you is shared with another business without your agreement.
- Each business advises only within its own licence. IR Property does not give tax or credit advice, GBS advises on tax and accounting only, and Next Step Financing provides credit assistance only.
- Any referral fee, commission or benefit paid between businesses in the group is disclosed to you before you engage.
