Management Reporting for UAE Businesses

A monthly profit figure is useful. Knowing which project lost margin, why cash is tight and what needs attention is more useful. Finantrics brings those questions into an agreed management pack and review.

We provide boutique finance advice and outsourced financial management for growing UAE businesses. We can work alongside your accountant or include accounting support in the engagement.

What your reporting pack can include

Profit and loss, with comparisons to budget and prior periods where the records support them.
Cash position and a forward-looking cash forecast, with assumptions made visible.
Receivables and payables ageing, upcoming obligations and collection priorities.
Profitability by project, client, product or service line, using agreed cost allocations.
Material cost and performance variances, with written explanations and actions to discuss.

The reporting needs to fit the business

For contracting businesses, including fit-out, that may mean project margins, retention, committed costs and variations. For manufacturing, it may mean production costs, inventory and product margins. Service businesses may need client profitability and billing visibility. Trading and distribution businesses may need customer margins, stock movements and supplier-payment planning.

How we prepare and review the numbers

First we review your records, systems and the decisions you need to make. We agree the pack, cost-allocation approach, input owners and reporting timetable. We then reconcile the available records, flag gaps and explain any provisional figures before discussing the results with you.

The review should finish with a short action list: what needs checking, what management needs to decide and who owns the next step. The following review can track those actions as well as the numbers.

Records we may need

Accounting exports and reconciled bank balances.
Customer and supplier ageing reports.
Budgets, project or product codes and relevant cost records.
Contracts, purchase commitments, inventory records and operating measures where relevant.

We agree responsibilities, fees and timing before work begins. Delivery depends on timely, complete information and the agreed close process. VAT and Corporate Tax support is coordinated with specialist partners under a separately agreed scope.

Can you work with our existing accountant?

Yes. We can use the records your accountant maintains and agree how adjustments, missing information and reporting questions will be handled.

Is this the same as annual accounts?

No. Management reporting is designed around decisions during the year. It does not replace statutory accounts, an audit or tax filings.

Will the same pack work every month?

A consistent structure makes changes easier to spot. We agree the measures that matter and review the format when your business or reporting needs change.
