Retail accountants
The retail industry has many facets that need to be kept on top to ensure they run efficiently and profitably where the help of retail accountants are invaluable. Whether you’re a smaller retailer or a wholesaler, you need to keep track of your bottom line, inventory and cashflow, which is a significant workload to handle when you also have to focus on your day-to-day.
Smith Butler can be there to support you with the financial elements of your business and provide you with business advice if you are looking for it.
Accountants for retailers, shop owners and wholesalers
As mentioned, keeping on top of the ever-flowing stock you have to manage as a retailer is a sizeable job that you can’t afford to get wrong. Inventory systems and a good accountant can make your life much easier, so you know you aren’t spending money and not making a return on your investment.
Similarly, by having a solid inventory system in place, you can keep track of what’s popular within your market and potentially dig deeper into consumer trends, maximising your profit.
On top of that, you also have multiple VAT schemes to contend with, as different products and services have varying VAT rates. VAT rates aren’t only crucial for the products you buy but for setting the rates at which you sell them.
Bookkeeping and stock management
The process of bookkeeping for a retail business such as yours is important so you can keep an eye on your year-end accountancy costs. VAT inspections will be less of a concern and will also make any tax enquiries much less stressful.
Our bookkeeping experts will keep track of your business activities, giving you a clear picture of your processes and finances.
It isn’t just the finances that are essential to keep on top of your retail business. Stock management goes hand in hand with your bottom line.
Without proper stock management, you can easily overspend on new inventory when you could actually have enough to fulfil your customer demand. If you were to order from a supplier blindly, you’re essentially throwing money away, especially if the stock you order isn’t selling as well as you once thought.
