Cashflow and Profitability Planning
It’s common for owners of well established businesses to experience frustration around the various financial challenges within their business. Proper cashflow planning can provide the focus and security to deal with those challenges.
Is your business established but underperforming? Or maybe your business is growing, but turnover isn't translating into profit as well as you think it should be?
If any of these apply to your business, then expert cashflow and profitability planning could be part of the solution to achieving your goals.
You could even go one step further and consider some of our other profitability planning services, such as goal setting and vision days or a full re-draft of your business plan.
Whatever your challenge, MWA Accounting can assist you with the right expertise to help manage your cashflow and profitability planning needs.
Cashflow and profitability planning is about more than just compliance. It’s about establishing profit leaks, helping you prepare for fluctuating seasonal trading or just dealing with the ebb and flow of your business's tax and vat payments.
At MWA Accounting, our cashflow and profitability planning services aim to stabilise cash flow, improve decision making and increase owner shareholder pay.

Case Studies
MWA helps to better structure a business for continung growth
"MWA have been providing cash flow and profitability services to an established restaurant business for 10 years. Recently, a strategic decision has been made to increase the number and variety of sites. By carefully planning each site, its impact on cash and staff resources within the wider portfolio and how its profitability can be maximised quickly, it has allowed the expansion to feel controlled and manageable for the owner and his team.
As a result of our cashflow and planning services, the business owner’s anxiety was removed and targeted business growth was achieved; the group has grown from 3 to 6 sites and is less reliant on one commercial format and better structured for stability and future growth."

What do MWA Accounting's cash flow and profitability planning services look like?
The first thing we do is establish what your business's specific challenges are and how our cashflow and profitability services can help address them. We also want to know what your personal goals are as a business owner and make sure we are helping you to achieve those. This process can be done virtually or in-person.
We use existing financial data and make sure it is accurate and up to date, and then we start applying that to the operational challenges of the business and begin creating plans and models and the impact on the numbers.
Then it is a case of working through the models with you to work out which plan represents the best method for your business.
Our main goal is to work in a way that is convenient to you and your business and achieve impactful bottom-line results for you.
