Sample bookkeeping case study for a growing small business with books two months behind, incomplete reconciliations, scattered documentation, and reports the owner didn’t trust.
I cleaned up the books, reconciled accounts, standardized transaction coding, organized supporting documentation, and built a repeatable month-end workflow. I also created an owner-friendly monthly snapshot so the numbers could actually support better business decisions.
Fictional client scenario created for portfolio demonstration.

I build websites and web apps for small businesses, and here's a 1-minute look at one of them.
Bookrightly is a booking platform I designed and built end to end for barbers, hairdressers and personal trainers: public booking pages, deposits to cut no-shows, and a dashboard for the diary and clients.
If you run a small business and your website isn't pulling its weight, or you have an app idea you'd like built, I do:
Small business websites: fixed price, about a week
Custom web apps and business tools: fixed scope, agreed before I start
I'm UK-based and you work directly with me, with no account managers and no handoffs.
Message me with a few details about what you need and I'll tell you honestly what it would take.
Hi everyone,

Can someone Help me on what Points shall be emphasized on my Case Study.
Title: Annual Budget with Scenario Planning: From Assumptions to a Board-Ready Model
Description:
Built an annual budget model with worst/base/best-case scenarios, driven by a small set of editable assumptions rather than hardcoded projections — designed to be reforecast quarterly against actuals without rebuilding the model each time.
Challenge: The business needed an annual budget the board could approve with confidence, but a single-point forecast hid how sensitive the outcome was to a handful of key assumptions — and any change meant rebuilding numbers from scratch.
Approach: Structured the budget around a small set of core drivers (revenue growth, cost ratios, headcount timing) that flow through to revenue, opex, EBITDA, and cash runway. Built worst/base/best cases as three versions of the same driver set, not three separate models, so scenarios stay consistent and auditable.
What I did: Designed the driver architecture, built the scenario toggle logic, and set up a quarterly reforecast cadence so actuals feed back into the model and next-quarter assumptions adjust automatically rather than through manual overrides.
Outcome: Gave the board a budget with visible downside and upside, not just a single number — and turned each quarterly review into a 30-minute update instead of a rebuild.
