Accountants for shops and retailers
Stock, card takings, VAT retail schemes and staff: we keep your shop's numbers clean so you can focus on your customers.
What makes retail accounting different
Independent shops juggle stock, suppliers, cash and card takings, and often sell goods with different VAT rates. Getting stock and VAT right is the difference between a healthy profit and a surprise bill.
How we help retailers
VAT retail schemes
If you sell a mix of standard-rated, reduced-rated and zero-rated goods, a retail scheme can work out your VAT from your takings. We help you choose the right one, from point of sale to apportionment and direct calculation, and keep it compliant.
Stock and margins
We help you value stock correctly at the year end, track margins by product group and spot losses from waste or theft early.
Takings and card payments
Daily takings, card terminal settlements, cashback and refunds matched to your bank, so your sales figures are complete and HMRC-ready.
Payroll for shop staff
Weekly or monthly payroll for full-time and part-time staff, including holiday pay and pensions.

Common questions
Which VAT retail scheme is best for my shop?
It depends on your mix of goods and how your till records sales. Point of sale suits shops whose EPOS records the VAT rate per item. We review your set-up and recommend the scheme that is accurate and simplest for you.
Do I need to count stock every year?
Yes. Your year-end accounts must include the value of stock on hand, so you need a stock count or reliable stock records at the year end.
