Management accounting for business owners
I turn your company's raw data into the three reports decisions are actually made on: cash flow, profit and loss, and the balance sheet. I also handle full-cycle bookkeeping, so the numbers you report to the tax office and the numbers you run the business on finally agree.
This is the monthly report you receive. Figures are illustrative.
When it's time
Usually this isn't about weak sales. It's about decisions being made by looking at the bank balance.
Money came in, so we must have earned it. Then taxes, suppliers and payroll all fall due.
Total revenue grows, but which product or location drags it down is anyone's guess.
Filings are submitted on time, yet they never answer the question: how much can I take out of the business?
The data doesn't reconcile, and when a staff member leaves, half the history goes with them.
No payment calendar means no early warning a month before the shortfall.
The regime was chosen once and never revisited; reliefs and deductible costs go unused.
Services
I work both on a one-off basis, setting the system up, and on retainer, running it every month.
I map out how money actually moves through the business and build the data system your decisions will rest on.
I run the system for you and deliver finished figures with a note on what changed and why.
I take on the routine paperwork that eats up the owner's day and the team's.
From the bank statement and source documents through to filed returns — the whole cycle is on me.
For entrepreneurs who want a quiet rear guard without an in-house accounting department.
A move that loses no history and doesn't stop the accounting department.
Lawful ways to pay less: choosing the right regime and treating costs correctly.
How we work
You describe the business, what you want from the numbers and what's already in place — I reply in writing within one business day. I'll tell you honestly whether you need management accounting or simply tidier bookkeeping.
in writing, freeI go through statements, contracts and your current spreadsheets, show you where data is being lost, and send a work plan with timings and a price.
3–5 daysI build the item structure and report formats, migrate the data, configure the software and show your team what goes where.
2–4 weeksEvery month I close the period, send the reports and go through them with you: what grew, what slipped, and what to watch next.

I work personally, no assistants
Who will be handling your accounts
Eleven years in accounting: I started as chief accountant at a manufacturing company, and for the last six years I've been setting up management accounting for small and mid-sized businesses.
What matters to me is that the report gets used, not filed away. So I don't send a spreadsheet and go quiet: I walk you through every figure and say what decision follows from it. And I'm equally comfortable explaining the difference between profit and the bank balance to an owner or to their team.
I work remotely with clients across Russia. Contract, NDA and accountability for filing deadlines — all in writing.

Below are starting points. I quote the exact figure after the audit, before work begins, and I don't revise it midway.
FAQ
Bookkeeping is kept for the state: it answers the tax office and follows its rules. Management accounting is kept for you: it shows what the business actually earned, where the money sits and which line brings in profit. Here you decide the formats and the level of detail, not the law. You need both, but decisions are made on the second.
It depends on transaction volume and on whether you have questions about your numbers. If you can't quickly say how much you earned last month and how much of that you can take out, you already need it. For a small business the answer is often not 1C but a well-built spreadsheet: cheaper and faster.
No. Most often we split the ground: your accountant stays on source documents and tax filings, while I set up and run the management side. If you'd rather hand over the accounting entirely, that works too — I'll take over and reconcile the balances.
Remotely: bank statements, access to your accounting software, a document folder in the cloud. In-person meetings aren't necessary; I work with clients across Russia. We can sign an NDA if you'd like.
I work only with lawful instruments: choosing the regime, treating costs correctly, deductions, regional rates and reliefs. I don't offer or support artificial splitting or fictitious expenses — the risk of reassessment always costs more than the saving.
That's the usual situation. During the audit I assess how far back it's worth reconstructing: often it's enough to establish correct opening balances and keep it clean from there. We decide together, based on what you need.
