Your accounts already know where the money goes

Most businesses have the data and no time to interrogate it. Financial analysis turns the records you're already required to keep into decisions about pricing, cost, working capital and expansion.

Financial Analysis

Numbers are evidence. Analysis is the argument.

Financial data is the foundation for decision-making, but a balance sheet prepared for statutory purposes rarely answers the questions a business owner is actually asking. Which product line earns its shelf space? Why is a profitable year producing no cash? What would a second branch cost before it starts contributing?

We analyse financial statements, business performance, cash flows, profitability and operational efficiency for startups, MSMEs, manufacturers, traders, service providers and corporate organisations — and present the result as recommendations rather than as another report.

Financial Analysis at Ratnesh Thakur & Co.

This page is for you if

  • The business is profitable on paper but cash is always tight
  • You're considering an expansion, a branch or a significant purchase
  • A lender has asked for projections and you need them defensible
  • You suspect a product line or department is losing money and can't prove it
  • You want a monthly number that tells you something you can act on

What we handle, end to end

We examine the balance sheet, profit and loss account and cash flow statement to evaluate profitability, liquidity, solvency and operational efficiency.

The output identifies where the business is strong, where it is exposed, and what practical steps would improve performance — written for the person who has to act on it rather than for a file.

Liquidity, profitability and solvency ratios, debt-equity analysis, working capital ratios, inventory turnover, debtor and creditor analysis, return on investment, return on capital employed, and gross and net margin analysis.

Ratios are only useful in context — against your own trend and against what is normal for your sector. We present both.

Profitable businesses fail on cash. We analyse inflows, the operating cash cycle, receivables, payables and inventory to find where funds are trapped.

The recommendations are specific: which debtors to chase, which terms to renegotiate, how much inventory is financing itself and how much is financing your bank.

Annual budgets, departmental budgets, revenue projections, expenditure estimates and longer-range forecasts built on historical performance and stated business goals.

Forecasts are used to evaluate funding requirements, profitability expectations and expansion plans — and to see how far the plan can be wrong before it becomes a problem.

Improving profit is often about cost and mix rather than volume. We analyse revenue streams, direct and indirect costs, production expenses, overheads and operating margins to find where margin is actually being made and lost.

Recommendations cover cost optimisation, pricing, expense control, break-even analysis and resource utilisation.

Customised management information covering sales performance, monthly profitability, cash position, expense analysis, budget versus actual, department-wise profitability, working capital, debtor and creditor ageing, financial KPIs and trend analysis.

Presented so that the significant number is the one you see first.

Before committing to a project, we assess projected costs, expected returns, investment risk, funding requirement and profitability — for new projects, branch expansion, machinery purchases, acquisitions and diversification.

The answer is sometimes that the project does not work at the assumed price. That is a useful answer.

Understanding what the business is worth matters for investment, mergers, succession planning and fundraising. We perform financial health assessments and performance evaluations using standard techniques, and set out the strengths, operational risks, growth potential and sustainability that sit behind the number.

How it works

The shape of the engagement

Step one

Scoping

We establish the decision you're trying to make. Analysis without a question attached produces a report nobody reads.

Step two

Data assembly

Financial statements, management accounts, ledgers and whatever operational data is relevant. Gaps are identified here, not later.

Step three

Analysis

Ratios, cash flow, cost and margin work, benchmarked against your own trend.

Step four

Findings and recommendations

Presented in a working session rather than emailed, so the assumptions can be challenged.

Ongoing

Monthly MIS, if useful

Where the value is in the trend rather than the snapshot.

Common questions

Before you get in touch

Two to three years of financial statements, the current year's management accounts, and whatever operational data bears on the question — sales by product, by branch, by customer. If some of that doesn't exist yet, that's often the first finding.
An audit asks whether the statements are true and fair. Analysis asks what they mean and what you should do about it. Different question, different output, and one doesn't substitute for the other.
A full analysis annually, or before any significant decision. Monthly MIS is worth it once the business is large enough that the trend matters more than the snapshot — usually where you're managing multiple lines, branches or a meaningful working capital cycle.
Yes — that's CMA data and project report work, which we handle under Bank Finance Assistance. The analysis and the projections use the same underlying model, which is why lenders find them consistent.
Yes, and we prefer to. Assumptions get challenged in the room, which usually improves the analysis and always improves whether it gets acted on.
