The UK is one of the biggest online retail markets. The proportion of sales expected to occur online by 2025 is set to increase by over a third. Your business can’t afford to ignore the demand for ecommerce routes from customers.

Whether you’re an online retailer or a provider of ecommerce platforms we can help. We have breadth of experience. We work with businesses like yours. We’re hearing about the common challenges facing businesses with an ecommerce focus. From our clients and partners. Hot topics relating on to online retail include:

Then there’s the complexities of managing cashflow when you’re in a fast-moving environment. Sales are going up. But have you got the stock ready to fill those orders? And what about your marketing costs? Web hosting and security? And then there are tech related costs and challenges. Whether that’s about developing new platforms or security related issues.

It all impacts on your cashflow. Your profit and loss bottom line. Really important if you’re looking for external investment. You need to give potential investors confidence in your vision for the future. Based on accurate and timely financial information.

No more:

• Unreliable financial information
• Loss of trust in accountants
• Being sold a dream
• Reporting that isn’t delivered promptly in an actionable time frame
• Lack of proactive support and direction
• Excessive manual processes that aren’t updated for tech developments

WE WANT TO BE A PERFECT FIT

We work with a whole range ecommerce and retail businesses that are on a growth journey. From companies breaching the audit threshold for the first time to large listed multinational groups. We know you’re in a fast-moving environment. And if want help you need it now. We’re used to turning round projects quickly.

We can help with a particular challenge. Or provide ongoing support. Whether that’s down to a period of rapid growth. An unexpected change or loss of personnel. Or a scenario that you don’t have the knowledge or understanding in-house to deal with such as the transition to a new reporting framework. Or maybe you’re looking to expand your sales overseas.

Our team can be an extension of your finance team as much or as little as needed, tailored to you.

Maybe you have resource issues. Not enough people within your team. Or hours in the day. We can provide technical advice and reassuring guidance when your in-house team is tackling something new.

We can work with you to set up your accounting platform, the bank feeds, the structure, the settings, the reporting framework and the ongoing performance health checks. We also carry out critical finance activity for our clients such as bookkeeping, monthly and year-end management reporting, and VAT returns with HMRC. We can deliver end to end or fit your financial expertise gap.
