Simple answer - ignoring all consequences of doing so and assuming that the management co has failed to meet its obligations regarding visibility of accounts and expenditure - would be to get your solicitor to write a carefully worded letter to the management company. Which is presumably his ltd building co. And then see what happens.
You and the other freeholders should probably sack the management company though if it's not doing what is legally required of it.

A slightly less nuclear option would be to write to him and mention that managing agents are obliged to produce a record of service charge accounts every year and asking when he was planning to do this.
I agree with Howard that anything more formal runs the risk of destabilising things. But this might get something a little less guarded out of him.

The management company will have to file accounts and they should be publicly accessible as I understand it.
They are also obliged to give each leaseholder a breakdown of expenditure each year.
If they are not doing that, can you alongside the other residents sack the management company, who is also the builder?
Set up as you describe it seems weird.
