We are specialist licensed trade Accountants in London. Running a pub is not the same, as it used to be, it has become a lot harder. Old model of drinking and socialising is changing. A pub needs to be a happening place now to attract and retain customers. Drink sales are down but food sales are going up. We serve our clients in some of the following ways:-

From setting up the Accounting structure on a cloud based platform, integrating with Epos, setting up document scanning facility to making capital allowances claim from HMRC, tax efficient profit extraction, we do everything from start to finish.
    
2. Cash flow management is absolutely vital for all pub businesses. We make sure, our client’s business is never short of cash, to pay its bills. We use cloud based applications such as Fluidly for cashflow projections and planning plus we update cash position every day/week/month.
