A monthly business advisory meeting reviews your latest numbers against plan, works through cash flow and your tax position, and ends with clear decisions and actions for the month ahead. It is a working session, not a report reading. The point is to catch problems while they are small and make decisions while they still have time to matter.
How a Well-Run Monthly Session Is Structured
Most sessions open with the numbers: revenue, margin and cash against what was expected. Because the figures are only weeks old rather than months, the conversation is about what is happening now, not an autopsy of last financial year. Cloud accounting makes this practical, which is why firms like ours run clients on platforms such as Xero.
From there, the meeting moves to cash flow and commitments. What is due, what is coming in, whether the next quarter’s BAS, super and tax obligations are provisioned, and whether any timing pressure is building. This is where year-end tax surprises get eliminated, because the position is watched all year.
The third block is decisions. A hire you are weighing up, a piece of equipment, a pricing change, a structure question, a property opportunity. Talking these through with someone who knows your numbers, before you commit, is where advisory earns its fee.
Every session should close with actions and owners. Some sit with you, some with the advisor, and the next meeting opens by checking them. At MYC Partners Accountants, this is a real working rhythm: some clients meet with Managing Director Kylie Baker every month for exactly this kind of business and financial planning.
