Our commentary
- Revenue grew 8.7% on last month and profit grew faster, because costs rose more slowly than sales.
- Two customer invoices are more than 30 days old. We suggest sending a reminder this week.
- Marketing is 14% of operating expenses. It is worth comparing it with the enquiries it brought in before setting next month's budget.
What we need from you
- Review and approve the VAT return draft
- Send receipts for 3 bank transactions
- Confirm whether the overdue invoices should be chased or written off
