Financial Health Checks: What They Are & Why You Need One

When was the last time you had a good look at your business’s finances? Whether you are a small business owner or sole trader, a financial health check is very important. It is a powerful tool that helps you gain control, improve your business’s performance and make confident decisions.

At BCS Accountants, this month’s blog looks at the importance of financial health checks. For more information, contact us on 01524 824111.

What is a Financial Health Check?

A financial health check is a comprehensive review of your current financial situation. It is designed to help you understand where your money is going and identify any weaknesses. It can include:

  • Cash flow analysis
  • Budgeting & forecasting
  • Debt management
  • Tax efficiency
  • Investment performance
  • Risk exposure and compliance

With a financial health check can help you spot issues early. A review can highlight areas where you are overspending or overcharging, improving profitability. With constantly changing HMRC regulations, a financial health check ensures you are compliant and prepared for audits.

Professional Financial Advice

When Should You Do One?

Financial health checks should be carried out at a minimum of once per year. We recommend a check either at the end of the financial year, or before the self-assessment deadline on the 31st of January.

For growing businesses or those facing financial pressures, a quarterly check may provide better oversight.
