Financial Control & Risk
Continuous monitoring of margins, cash reserves, debtor days, concentration and unusual spending — problems surfaced early, not at year-end.
Problems announce themselves in the numbers months before they hit the bank account. We watch margins, cash reserves, debtor days and unusual spending continuously — and when something drifts, you hear it from us first, with a plan.
Most financial problems are visible months before they hurt — in a drifting margin, a customer who quietly becomes 40% of revenue, an expense line growing faster than sales. Financial Control & Risk is continuous monitoring of exactly those signals: margins, cash reserves, debtor days and unusual spending, checked against thresholds we agree with you.
When something crosses a line, you get a plain-language alert: what we detected, what we verified, what it means and what we recommend. Problems surface early — not in a year-end post-mortem when the options have expired.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from management accounts?
Management accounts report the past on a schedule. Control & Risk watches continuously and speaks up when something moves — it is the difference between a monthly check-up and a smoke alarm.
What do you actually monitor?
Typical set: gross margin by line, cash cover in weeks, debtor days and ageing, creditor stretch, payroll ratio, customer concentration, unusual or duplicate spending. The exact list is agreed for your business.
Will I drown in alerts?
No. Thresholds are set so you hear from us when it matters — most clients get a short monthly all-clear and an occasional early warning that pays for the service on its own.
Do I need to be a TaxAce accounting client?
It works best on books we run, but we can monitor well-kept Xero records maintained elsewhere after an initial data-quality review.
