Management reporting for product businesses

Know your real margins — every month.

A clear monthly picture of what's actually making money: margin by product and category, profit after overheads, the dead stock tying up your cash — and the three things worth acting on. You send your exports; we do the rest.

No new software. We work from the exports your system already produces.

The problem

Most owners are flying blind.

Turnover ≠ profit

You know what you sold — but not which products actually make money after costs and overheads.

Cash on the shelf

Stock that isn't selling ties up thousands, and nobody's tracking which lines.

No time for the numbers

The report that would tell you lives in a spreadsheet nobody has time to build.

What you get

Clarity, every month — done for you.

Margin by product

See which lines earn and which quietly lose money — so you can reprice with confidence.

Profit after overheads

Not just gross — what each category really makes once rent, wages and the rest are in.

Dead-stock radar

The stock sitting unsold, valued at cost — cash you can free up this quarter.

The watchdog

The 3 things to act on

Every month we don't just report — we flag the exact actions, in £, and what changed since last month.

The monthly deliverable

This lands in your inbox.

Not a 40-tab spreadsheet — a one-page brief your whole team can read in a minute: where the money is, what's leaking, and the three moves that matter this month. Each one quantified in pounds.

Generated automatically from your raw exports — no manual build.

The payoff

Small fixes, compounding.

Repricing a handful of loss-making lines and clearing dead stock doesn't sound dramatic — until you see it month over month. Illustrative, but it's exactly the levers the watchdog surfaces.

FAQ

The questions owners ask.

Do I need to buy new software?

No. We work from the exports your existing system already produces — accounting software, EPOS, or even spreadsheets. Nothing to install, nothing to learn.

My data's a mess — is that a problem?

That's our job, not yours. Send it however it comes out — odd headers, gaps, the lot. Cleaning and mapping it is exactly what you're paying us to handle.

What if I don't track stock?

The margin and profit reporting works on sales and cost prices alone. If you'd like stock and dead-stock insight too, we'll give you a dead-simple way to capture it — and you'll have visibility you've never had.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Your figures are confidential, handled securely, and always yours. We're the reporting service — not your accountant — and you own everything we produce.

Stop guessing at your margins.
