A regular Profit & Loss (P&L) Review isn’t just for accountants — it’s a tool every business owner should use to:
✔ Spot rising costs before they eat into margins
✔ Keep cash flow healthy and predictable
✔ Make smarter, data-driven decisions
✔ Plan growth with confidence

Whether monthly or quarterly, reviewing your P&L helps transform raw numbers into strategies that protect and grow your business.

I’ve put together a step-by-step guide for SMEs on how to master the P&L review process. Check it out — link in the comments 👇

What You Don’t Track Could Be Costing You (More Than You Think)

Running an events business is non-stop—clients, venues, suppliers, last-minute changes. It’s easy to stay focused on delivery and overlook what’s happening behind the scenes financially.

But here’s the truth: some of the busiest events are also the least profitable.

If you’re not tracking the right numbers, you could be working harder for less. Start with these three:

📦 Cost per event – Include everything: time, staff, travel, overhead—not just direct expenses.

📉 Profit margin per client or event type – Some events bring in revenue but burn out your team.

💸 Cash flow timing – Are you getting paid before your big costs are due?

When you understand this data, you can make smarter decisions—what to price better, where to cut back, and what to double down on.

You don’t need a big finance department—just a good system and someone who knows what to look for.

Are you tracking profitability per event yet? If not, what’s holding you back?

Running an Events Business? Don’t Let Finances Be an Afterthought
You’ve got the creativity, the client relationships, the hustle…
But if your finances aren’t being managed strategically, you could be working hard for little reward.

👉 It’s not just about having a bookkeeper or doing taxes once a year.
You need someone who can help you:
✅ Price your services profitably
✅ Forecast cash flow between deposits and big expenses
✅ Track what event types or clients are actually making you money
✅ Plan for growth without running out of cash

🎯 I worked with an events agency that was consistently booked and delivering high-quality events, but still struggling to see the profits they expected.
After reviewing their financials, we discovered that one of their most time-consuming events was actually running at a loss—draining both time and resources.
Just having that visibility allowed them to make better decisions about where to invest their energy going forward.

💬 If you're running an events business and want to take control of your finances (instead of reacting to them), send me a message. Happy to help.

Numbers don’t lie—but are you using them to make smarter business decisions?
Many business owners, see finance as just an admin task—bookkeeping, invoices, tax filing. But in reality, finance is the ultimate data supplier that helps you optimize pricing, manage cash flow, and maximize profitability.
💡 Think of finance as your business’s GPS, or the Owners copilot:
📍 Profitability Analysis – Are your services priced correctly, or are hidden costs eating into your margins?
📍 Cash Flow Trends – Are you prepared for cash gaps between deposits and event expenses?
📍 Cost Insights – Where can you cut unnecessary spending without affecting quality?
📍 Growth Indicators – Can you afford to expand, hire staff, or take on bigger events?
🚀 Example: I worked with an events company that was underpricing their services because they weren’t tracking overhead costs properly. After a financial analysis, we gave the owner an oversight of how much each event was actually costing and he was able to adjust the pricing and/or cut the losing sites where necessary.
Finance isn’t just about keeping records—it’s about making better business decisions.

The #1 Financial Mistake I See in SMEs? No Cash Flow Planning! 🚨
Over the past 12 years in finance, working for companies in hospitality, telecom, rail, and infrastructure, we’ve seen profitable businesses struggle—not because they weren’t making money, but because they didn’t manage their cash flow properly.
Here’s a real example:
📌 A fast-growing tech startup had £500K in revenue but struggled to pay suppliers.
📌 Why? Most of their clients paid in 90 days, while expenses were due in 30 days.
📌 Solution: We built a rolling 12-month cash flow forecast, renegotiated supplier terms, and set up a better invoicing system.
Key Takeaways for SMEs:
✅ Always forecast at least 3-6 months ahead.
✅ Negotiate longer payment terms with suppliers.
✅ Offer incentives for early payments from customers.
✅ Use cloud accounting tools (like Xero/QuickBooks) to track real-time cash flow.
Cash flow is the lifeblood of any business—manage it well, and you’ll avoid unnecessary financial stress.
