Stand alone - Aftersales Managers - making the best impacts from your management accounts

The workshop is full — but the numbers still feel uncomfortable.

If you’re an Aftersales Manager, this is familiar:

• The operation feels flat-out
• Technicians are busy
• Advisors are firefighting
• Yet month-end still brings pressure, volatility, and questions

This guide explains why that happens — and how to regain control.

Not through accounting.
Through leadership clarity.

What This Guide Actually Does

It shows how everyday aftersales decisions — booking, discounting, internal work, overtime, parts flow — quietly shape the management accounts weeks later.

You’ll learn:

• Why busy workshops still lose money
• Where profit leaks without being obvious
• Which numbers actually matter (and which don’t)
• How to reduce firefighting and stabilise results
• How to engage confidently with the accounts without becoming a finance expert

No jargon.
No formulas.
No finance theory.

Who This Is For

Aftersales Managers and Service Leaders who:

• Run pressured, complex operations
• Are accountable for profit, not just activity
• Want predictability instead of monthly surprises

Not written for accountants.
Written for operational leaders.

Why This Pays for Itself

This guide doesn’t add work.
It removes blind spots.

It pays for itself the first time:

• recovery stops drifting
• overtime is challenged
• volatility reduces
• or a defensive review becomes a calm one
