Key advantages of using Management Accounting services
Trusted by growing businesses as their outsourced management accountants.
Rely on Better, Faster Decision-Making
LYA delivers timely, relevant, and detailed information (including forecasts, cost breakdowns, customer satisfaction or production efficiency).
This helps you make informed choices on pricing, product mix, investments, resource allocation and market expansion.
Optimised Planning, Budgeting and Forecasting
Management accounting is forward-looking. It supports the creation of realistic budgets, cash flow projections, analysis and long-term strategic plans.
This allows businesses to anticipate challenges and opportunities rather than just reacting to past results.
Stronger Cost Control and Efficiency
We help identify cost drivers, analyse variances (actual vs. budgeted) and use techniques like activity-based costing.
This helps reduce waste, optimise processes, renegotiate with suppliers and improve overall operational efficiency and productivity for your business.
Enhanced Performance Monitoring & Accountability
Through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), balanced scorecards and regular variance reports, you will track how well departments, products or projects are performing.
This enables corrective actions and motivates teams by linking performance to clear targets; a service particularly valuable for small businesses (SMEs) that need enterprise-level insight without an in-house finance team.

FAQs
As independent accountants in Epsom, we offer a genuinely personal service that larger practices simply can't match. You'll always deal directly with a member of our team who knows your accounts inside out, no more talking to 6 different people depending on whether your question is related to VAT, bookkeeping, accounts, personal tax or payroll.
Not at all. While we're proud to be based in Surrey and support plenty of local business owners, our cloud-based approach means we work with clients right across the UK. Wherever you are you'll get the same proactive, jargon-free service. Don't just take our word for it, take a look at our accountant reviews below or on Google.
The best way is to hear from the businesses we already support across Surrey and beyond. We see ourselves as a genuine finance partner rather than a once-a-year compliance service, and we'd love to show you what that looks like. Leave your details on our contact us page and one of our team will arrange a call to discuss how we can free your time and work with you to help grow your business.

Rob Young their CFO is particularly thoughtful!
Simon Irwin
During a tumultuous year when Covid and pandemic response packages from the government made following your finances even more difficult than usual, Andy and his team have kept us informed and up to date at all times, making 2020 less chaotic than it would have been without their assistance. Cannot recommend them highly enough, this is a great team to have in your corner.
Susannah Marriott
John and team have been brilliant as we've grown the company, and most important to us, fun to work with and interested in what we do. Our company motto is 'We only work with nice people' and John couldn't be nicer.
Daisy Terry
Our company has more than doubled in the last 2 years and it quickly became clear that the existing accountancy set up we had wasn't going to work as we continue to grow. We were really nervous about changing accountants as it is such an integral part of our business but Rob and the whole team at LYA have been with us every step of the way, helping not only to get things straight but advise us with how we can improve and grow. Nothing is too much for these guys which is exactly what we need! We are delighted with how it is going
Patrick Land
Changing accountants can be a daunting prospect for a small business owner, especially after a bad experience with current/previous accountants.
The team at LYA made the change as painless and efficient as possible and have spent considerable time with me either via email, Whats App or MS Teams talking me through the process and educating me in the use of Xero.
I can't speak highly enough of the service I have received so far and wish I had made the change much sooner.
Steve Philcox
My wife need some assistance and Rob Young at LYA could not have been more helpful. He listened, understood and came back to us extremely quickly with the answers that was then followed up in writing. The service was extremely efficient, professional and seamless. I cannot recommend this organisation enough.
Kim Farmer
I started working with LYA when I first started my business. Launching a business can be a daunting and uncertain time, but having LYA's support and expertise has been invaluable during this process. Now we are over 3 years into the business and LYA continue to play a strong role enabling us to understand and follow the growth of the company and to help us navigate any financial decisions along the way. Josh Clarke and Rob Young have been wonderful to work with and although we rarely meet in person, we definitely consider them as part of the team.
Jules Fuller

Justin Girdler
LYA have been my accountancy firm for the best part of a decade - I think that probably speaks for itself. Rob and Josh are a wonderful duo who complement each-others approach so well and we feel truly looked after, listened too and challenged. They go far beyond previous firms I have worked with and have the expertise to offer a wide range of support across the financial elements of our business and how they intersect with our mission. Perhaps most importantly, we look forward to our calls with Rob and Josh.
