Bookkeeping, Stock Management & Better Business Insight

Hospitality is our focus

Built around how hospitality really works.

Our service is built around the needs of pubs, bars, restaurants and hospitality operators. Busy trading weeks, multiple suppliers, deliveries, wastage and tight margins all affect your numbers — so your bookkeeping should reflect them.

We keep your records organised, your VAT prepared and your supplier costs visible, so you can spend more time running the business and less time chasing paperwork.

About Derek

Experience from behind the bar and in the stores.

My background includes hospitality management and stores management. That experience shapes how I approach hospitality bookkeeping and stock control — I know how stock moves, how supplier costs add up and why accurate records matter to a busy operator.
