Retail
The retail sector has always been one of the most competitive business environments to operate in, but with the rapid growth of direct marketing, telephone sales, Internet trading, and overseas competition, more than ever retailers need sound financial advise and the support of a team of professionals who can help them maintain their market share.
We have considerable experience acting for the retail sector, and understand clearly their special requirements – especially the need for real-time proactive advice on how to maintain and improve their position.
In addition to our core services of accountancy, taxation, payroll, book-keeping and audit, we can help you maximise your profitability through improvements in your stock control and purchase re-ordering systems, reconciliation procedures, cashflow forecasts, and where appropriate advice on and assistance with the installation of computerised systems.
Perhaps the biggest bane of a retailer’s life is the stringent demands of the VAT regime. We can relieve you of a lot of unnecessary time and expense by advising on the most appropriate scheme, and handling your VAT planning and administration.
We can also help you to fulfil your future plans, be they to grow, through acquisition, or to sell on for profit.
Whether you are a small shopkeeper or a High Street retailer, a mail order company or an Internet trader, our team of experienced professionals is here to help you achieve your business objectives.
