Account management is primarily looking forward.

Gilligan Sheppard wants to be concerned with the provisions and use of accounting information for managers within businesses. This is account management and financial awareness.

We want to provide our clients with the basis to make informed business decisions that will consequently allow them to be better equipped in their management and control functions.

It is an area of accounting that involves partnering in management decision making, devising planning and performance management systems. It’s also providing expertise in financial reporting and control to assist management in the formulation and implementation of an organisation’s or businesses strategy.

This is extended into the following three areas;

• Strategic management—advancing the role of the management accountant as a strategic partner in the organisation.
• Performance management—developing the practice of business decision-making in addition to managing the performance of the organisation.
• Risk management—contributing to frameworks and practices for identifying, measuring, managing and reporting risks to the achievement of the objectives of the organisation.
