Retail & wholesale

Accountants for retailers and wholesale businesses

The shift to online shopping is proving to be challenging for many high street retailers. The combination of increasing overheads, falling footfall and price pressure from online competitors means retail businesses are having to evolve in order to survive.

Wholesale businesses have considerable challenges too. Pressure on logistics as a result of the pandemic have impacted on the supply chain, inventory and ultimately cash flow, with ‘uncontrollable factors’ making strategic planning difficult.

In both sectors, many businesses have physical and e-commerce sales channels and need to be able to report on volume of sales and profitability for each of these.
