Every till, every SKU, one clean set of books.

Retail books go wrong in volume: hundreds of card settlements, refunds, gift cards, mixed-rate VAT baskets and stock that never quite matches the system. We reconcile POS to bank daily, keep VAT right across zero-rated, reduced and standard lines, and report gross margin by category monthly, so you know what’s actually selling profitably before the season ends.

What we take off your desk.

POS to bank, daily

Card acquirer settlements, cash banking and refunds matched to till reports every day.

Mixed-rate VAT

Zero-rated, reduced and standard-rated lines coded at the till and checked at the return, including the awkward edge cases.

Stock and margin

Purchases, shrinkage and stocktakes reflected in a monthly margin report by category.

Store payroll

Hourly teams, overtime and seasonal staff paid right weekly or monthly, RTI on time.

Retail: what owners ask us.

We sell in-store and online. One set of books?

Yes, POS and e-commerce channels reconcile into one ledger with channel-level margin visible.

Gift cards and deposits?

Recognised properly as liabilities until redeemed, so your revenue and VAT are right.

Seasonal spikes?

Volume-based fees flex with the season and a dedicated FTE can be added for peak trading, from £1,200/month.

Which POS systems?

Square, Shopify POS, Lightspeed, Zettle and most majors, connected straight into Xero or QuickBooks.
