Reviewer's note
Software is up on last month after two seats were added mid-month. Revenue includes one milestone invoice that will not repeat next month.
Illustrative. An example of the document, not a client's figures.
Numbers alone do not explain themselves
A profit and loss statement and a balance sheet, handed over with no context, leave you working out what actually changed and why. We attach a short written note calling out the two or three things that genuinely moved the month, phrased for an owner or a non-finance director rather than for another accountant.
What actually lands in your inbox
A monthly profit and loss set against the prior period, a balance sheet with the schedules behind its bigger accounts, a cash position in Saudi riyals, and a commentary section on what drove any real movement. Where the business tracks it, results split across a Riyadh head office and branches in Jeddah or Dammam come through as their own lines rather than one blended total.
Kept apart from what ZATCA and Qawaem see
This report has nothing to do with the audited annual statements a SOCPA-licensed auditor signs and files through the Ministry of Commerce's Qawaem platform, or with the Zakat and corporate income tax return prepared for ZATCA. It runs monthly or quarterly on whatever cadence suits you, and everything in it later feeds those year-end filings rather than duplicating the work.
Who ends up reading it
Usually the owner first, then whoever they report to further up: a bank relationship manager assessing a facility, a MISA-licensed foreign shareholder, or a parent company outside the Kingdom that needs the subsidiary's figures translated into a format it recognises.
Sourced from the same close
The figures come straight out of the same closed ledger used for month-end close, with a senior reviewer reading the pack before it lands with you, so nothing in it needs re-checking against a separate source later.
Questions
Frequently asked questions: Management reports
How is this different from what gets filed through Qawaem each year?
The Qawaem filing carries your audited annual financial statements once a year. Management reports run monthly or quarterly so you see the trend as it happens, well before that.
Can the report be split by branch or city?
Yes, provided your chart of accounts or the location tracking in your software already supports splitting Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam or other locations.
Can the format match what our foreign parent already expects?
Yes, the structure adapts to what a MISA-licensed shareholder or an overseas parent wants to see rather than forcing every reader into one fixed layout.
Who checks the report before we see it?
A senior reviewer reads it against the underlying ledger before it reaches you.
Who actually reads these reports?
Usually the owner or CFO first, then whoever they answer to: a lender, an investor, a board or a franchisor.
Can reports be split by location or department?
Yes, as long as the chart of accounts or the class and location tracking in your software supports that split.
How is management reports priced?
Pricing for management reports depends on your transaction volume, the software you use, and how much cleanup is needed before ongoing work starts. Current ranges are published on the pricing page, and your exact fee is confirmed in writing before anything begins.
What software works with management reports?
Management reports runs inside QuickBooks Online or Xero, whichever you already use. If you are not yet set up in either, we can configure a file in your name so you keep ownership of it once the engagement is under way.
