Our core specialist services
We help owners and management teams understand financial performance, manage risk, plan expansion and prepare clear, credible financial information for lenders and potential investors. Our particular focus is UK hospitality, with selected services also available to other UK businesses.
Financial oversight for pubs, bars, coffee shops, restaurants and multi-site hospitality operators. Understand site profitability, protect margins and make better-informed commercial decisions.
Decision-ready financial models to evaluate trading performance, cash requirements, new sites and alternative growth scenarios.
Bring the financial case behind an expansion, acquisition or funding proposal into focus with clearly presented figures, realistic assumptions and transparent risks.
Prepare reliable management figures and forecasts to support discussions with a finance provider or appropriately authorised adviser.
Practical support with UK accounting and statutory reporting obligations, connecting compliant records with useful business information.
Financial modelling and funding-readiness work concerns financial analysis and the preparation of supporting information. It does not guarantee funding or investment. We do not offer investment brokerage, regulated investment advice or regulated credit broking through these services.
Our specialist services are supported by comprehensive day-to-day accounting: bookkeeping, payroll, VAT, year-end accounts, HMRC compliance and management reporting. Explore the individual services below.
One accounting partner. Complete financial oversight. Reporting requirements and service scope vary by business. Exact inclusions, reporting frequency and fees are agreed individually in writing; specialist services and statutory filings may be quoted separately.
Xero is our preferred accounting platform. However, if your business already uses QuickBooks or Sage and you are happy with it, there is no need to change systems simply to work with us. We can discuss continuing with your existing software, subject to its suitability and the scope of services required.
Both directors, Ludmila Trocjuka and Varsha Lonkar, are Xero-certified.
Software setup, migration, integrations and licence charges are agreed individually.
From site-level margins, staff costs and cash flow to seasonality, tax and statutory reporting, our experience is centred on the commercial realities of UK hospitality and travel businesses.
Daily sales reconciliations, cash and card takings, supplier invoices, staff costs, VAT and margin reporting.
Wet and dry gross profit, till and supplier reconciliations, payroll, VAT, promotions and stock reporting.
Client receipts, supplier payments, commissions, refunds, specialist VAT treatment and multi-currency reconciliations.
Deposits, deferred income, event profitability, supplier costs, staffing and VAT support.
