INDUSTRY 03

Retail & E-commerce

Stock, VAT, and cash-flow expertise for ambitious online and high-street businesses.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INDUSTRY

Clear visibility on true margins and cross-border VAT.

Retail and e-commerce businesses live and die by cash flow, margin, and stock control. Add in multi-channel sales, marketplace fees, and cross-border VAT for online sellers, and the accounting quickly becomes more complex than a standard small business.

We help you keep a clear view of true margin after fees and returns, and stay compliant as you sell across different platforms and regions.

Stock and cost of goods sold (COGS) tracking

WHY FIRMS CHOOSE CONSULTAX

Accounting built around real-world retail channels.

Generic bookkeeping often misses the detail that matters in retail — true margin after platform fees, the cash impact of holding stock, or VAT obligations that shift as you expand into new markets. We build reporting around how your business actually sells, so the numbers reflect reality and support better buying and pricing decisions.
