Reporting that drives operations

Daily takings, wet/dry split, labour-to-revenue and site-level contribution — produced on a cadence that supports the operations team rather than the audit file. We rebuild the chart of accounts where needed so the numbers reflect how the business actually runs.

  • Daily and weekly KPI dashboards
  • Site-level contribution and four-wall EBITDA
  • Labour percentage and gross-margin tracking
  • Multi-site P&L consolidation

Cash through the cycle

Hospitality and retail live and die by cash. Rolling 13-week models, VAT timing and stock-funded growth — managed so cash strain becomes a planning conversation, not a Friday-afternoon panic.

Stock, suppliers and tax

Stock counts, supplier statement reconciliations, shrinkage analysis and the VAT treatment of mixed supplies, marketplaces, drop-shipping and the Tour Operators' Margin Scheme. The detail moves the margin; we sweat it.

People and payroll

Tronc design and operation under the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act, salary-sacrifice schemes, NMW compliance and the multi-site payroll complexity that comes with rapid hiring. Get this wrong and the cost lands as an HMRC adjustment with interest.

Growth, funding and exit

Acquisitions, franchising, refinancing and the eventual exit — modelled with the operational realities baked in. We've worked through enough hospitality cycles to know which cost lines flex and which don't.

FAQs

Common questions.

  • Do you handle tronc?

    Yes — scheme design, troncmaster support, monthly operation and the PAYE / NIC interaction with the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Act.

  • Can you consolidate reporting across 50+ sites?

    Yes — we build the consolidation either in the accounting platform itself or as a parallel BI layer. The right answer depends on the EPOS / ERP stack you already run.

  • Do you support marketplace and e-commerce VAT?

    Yes — including the OMP rules for Amazon and eBay, the post-Brexit IOSS / OSS regime and the partial-exemption questions that follow mixed channels.
