Accounting · Financial reporting

If it does not balance, it does not leave the desk.

Statement of financial position work, prepared from your trial balance and adjustments with every figure traceable to a working paper. The accounting equation is recomputed independently by a second reader from the face of the statement — not trusted to the preparer’s own spreadsheet formula.

Send the trial balanceWhat it costs

The task types we are asked for most.

Prepare a balance sheet from a trial balance · Undergrad 1–2

The core task: adjusted trial balance to classified statement of financial position, with the workings that earn most of the marks. Delivered as an editable spreadsheet plus a clean statement for submission.

What you get

  • Classified statement of financial position, submission-ready
  • Working papers, one tab per adjustment, cross-referenced to each line
  • Adjusted trial balance showing the route from your data to the statement
  • A short explanation of each judgement taken

What we need from you

  • The trial balance and the list of adjustments
  • The question paper as issued, not a paraphrase
  • Any template or pro forma your module requires

Where the marks go

Adjustments posted to one side only. It balances in the student’s head and not on the page, and the marker sees the difference immediately — most of the credit for the question goes with it.

Year-end adjusting entries and their effect · Undergrad 1–2

Accruals, prepayments, depreciation, bad debts, closing inventory and provisions — posted as journals, then carried through to the statement so the effect of each is visible rather than merged.

What you get

  • Journal entries with narrations, in posting order
  • A schedule showing the effect of each adjustment on assets, liabilities and equity
  • Revised statement of financial position after all adjustments
  • Notes on any adjustment where the treatment is arguable

What we need from you

  • The unadjusted trial balance
  • The adjustment information exactly as given
  • Depreciation policy and rates if your module sets them

Where the marks go

Treating an accrual as a prepayment, or netting a provision against the asset without disclosing it. Both are small errors that cascade through every subsequent figure.

Consolidated statement of financial position · Undergrad 3+ / Master's

Group accounts: fair value adjustments at acquisition, goodwill, non-controlling interests, intra-group balances and unrealised profit — with a consolidation schedule showing every elimination.

What you get

  • Consolidated statement of financial position
  • Goodwill calculation and the fair value adjustments behind it
  • Non-controlling interest working, with the method stated
  • Consolidation schedule listing every elimination and its counterparty

What we need from you

  • Both entities’ statements and the acquisition details
  • Shareholding percentage and acquisition date
  • Any intra-group trading, balances or unrealised profit information

Where the marks go

Eliminating an intra-group balance on one side, or measuring the non-controlling interest on a different basis than the question specified. The goodwill figure then carries the error into everything below it.

Ratio analysis and interpretation · Undergrad 3+ / Master's

Liquidity, gearing, efficiency and return ratios computed from the statement, then interpreted — which is where the marks actually are. A page of correct ratios with no argument scores poorly and often surprises students.

What you get

  • Ratio computations with formulae shown, two or three years where data allows
  • Written interpretation tied to the specific business, not textbook generalities
  • Limitations of the analysis, proportionate to the data available
  • Comparison against industry or prior year if the brief asks for it

What we need from you

  • The financial statements, ideally two or more years
  • The specific ratios required, if your module prescribes a list
  • Any industry benchmark data you have been given

Where the marks go

Describing the movement instead of explaining it. "Current ratio fell from 1.8 to 1.3" is not analysis — the marks are in why, and what it means for this business.

IFRS treatment and disclosure questions · Master's

Narrative and computational questions on how a specific item should be recognised, measured, presented and disclosed — with the standard cited and the reasoning shown rather than the conclusion asserted.

What you get

  • Recommended treatment with the relevant standard and paragraph cited
  • The computation, where measurement is part of the question
  • Disclosure wording where the question requires it
  • The competing treatment considered and rejected, with reasons

What we need from you

  • The scenario exactly as issued
  • Which standards your module has actually covered
  • The edition of the framework your course uses

Where the marks go

Asserting the conclusion without the reasoning. Examiners award the reasoning, and a right answer with no route to it typically loses more than half the available marks.

Check and correct my own attempt · Any level

You have prepared it and something does not balance, or you are unsure of a classification. We find the break, explain it, and mark what would change — without rewriting your work for you.

What you get

  • The specific error identified, with the corrected figure and why
  • A note on each classification we would treat differently
  • Your file returned with comments rather than silent edits
  • The corrected equation check, so you can see it resolve

What we need from you

  • Your working file, spreadsheet preferred
  • The question paper
  • Where you think the problem is, if you have a suspicion

Where the marks go

Nothing on your side. Worth knowing: this is charged at roughly half the preparation rate and most institutions permit it more readily than commissioned work — so ask about it first.

What a delivered statement looks like.

Assets equal liabilities plus equity

tested independently by the second reader, not just by the preparer’s own spreadsheet.

Every figure traces to a working

each line carries a W-reference, so a marker can follow the number back to its calculation.

Current and non-current split correctly

the classification most commonly marked wrong, and the easiest for a marker to spot.

Adjustments posted both sides

a one-sided adjustment is the usual reason a statement fails to balance.

Presentation matches your framework

IFRS or US GAAP ordering and terminology, as your module specifies.

Notes cross-referenced to the face

where the task requires notes, each is numbered and pointed to from the statement.

Presentation your marker is looking for.

Non-current before current

IFRS presentation commonly runs least liquid first. US GAAP practice usually reverses it — check which your module expects, because the ordering itself carries marks.

Every line carries a W-reference

W1 to W7 are working papers delivered alongside. A figure with no traceable working is a figure a marker cannot award full credit for.

Subtotals shown, not implied

total non-current, total current, total assets and total equity and liabilities all appear explicitly. Omitting them costs presentation marks in most rubrics.

The equation is checked last

the second reader recomputes it from the face of the statement rather than trusting the preparer’s spreadsheet formula.

IFRS

Statement of financial position, non-current items first, IFRS terminology throughout — inventories, trade receivables, provisions. This is the default unless your brief says otherwise.

US GAAP

Balance sheet, current items first, US terminology — inventory, accounts receivable, accrued liabilities. Tell us on the brief and the whole statement is re-presented, not merely relabelled.

Who prepares accounting work here.

A qualification or a teaching record

ACA, ACCA, CPA, CIMA or equivalent, or a record of teaching financial reporting at the level of the brief.

Assessed on a real task, blind

the entry test is a consolidation with a deliberate inconsistency in the data. Candidates who post around it rather than querying it are not offered work.

Framework-specific matching

IFRS and US GAAP briefs go to specialists who work in that framework, not to whoever is free.

Workings are part of the deliverable

a specialist who submits an answer without traceable workings has the piece returned, regardless of whether the answer is right.

A smaller panel than essay subjects

which is why we quote accounting briefs slightly longer and decline more of them at the short end.

What we will not do on an accounting brief.

Accounting is the subject where a plausible-looking deliverable could be put to a use it was never prepared for. These are refusals, not preferences.

Anything for a real filing or decision

accounts for an actual business, a loan application, a tax return or an investor. This is academic work only, and no output may be relied on commercially.

Timed online accounting tests

invigilated or not, if it requires your login or is sat under exam conditions the answer is no. This includes professional-body exams.

Fabricated figures

if the task only works by inventing data that was not supplied, we say so rather than filling the gap and hoping.

Making the numbers say something they do not

no favourable classification to improve a ratio, no netting to flatter gearing. The treatment follows the framework.

Work on an employer’s live data

if the "assignment" is your job, we are the wrong service and there is a professional-liability problem we will not enter.

Questions on balance sheet work

Will the statement actually balance?
Yes, and it is checked twice: the preparer’s own reconciliation, then an independent recomputation by a second reader from the face of the statement rather than from the spreadsheet. An out-of-balance statement is the one defect that cannot be argued about, so it is the first thing tested — and if one ever reached you, that is a refund under the published policy without discussion.
Do I get the workings, or just the answer?
The workings are the deliverable as much as the statement is. Each line carries a W-reference to a working paper, and in most rubrics the workings carry more marks than the final figures. If your module also requires a written explanation of judgements, ask for the walkthrough option.
IFRS or US GAAP — how do you decide?
You tell us, or we look at your module handbook. If neither is specified we default to IFRS presentation and say so in a note. Tell us on the brief and the statement is presented properly in your framework, with the right terminology and ordering — not simply relabelled.
Can you work from a photograph of the question paper?
We can read one, but we ask for the file where possible. Accounting data transcribed from a photograph is where transcription errors enter, and a mistyped figure invalidates every subtotal after it. If only a photo exists, the manager will read the figures back to you before work starts.
What if the data in my question contradicts itself?
That happens more often than you would expect, sometimes deliberately as part of the assessment. We tell you before starting rather than posting around it and hoping — and where the contradiction is intentional, the answer includes how we resolved it and why, which is usually what the examiner is testing.
I have attempted it and it is out by a small amount. Is that cheaper?
Yes — roughly half the preparation rate. Send your working file and the question paper and we find the break, explain it and mark anything we would classify differently, returning your file with comments rather than silent edits. Most institutions permit this more readily than commissioned work, so it is worth checking your policy and asking about this option first.

Send the trial balance and the adjustments.
