Retail & Hospitality Accountant Limerick

Expert Financial Solutions for Restaurants, Retail Stores, Hotels & Service Businesses in Limerick

Smart Accounting For Retail & Hospitality

Accountant Limerick focuses on retail and hospitality accounting across Limerick and surrounding areas. We understand the fast-paced world of customer service businesses. Whether you're running a busy café on O'Connell Street, managing a fashion boutique in the Milk Market, or operating a guesthouse near King John's Castle, standard accounting misses the mark. Serve your customers with confidence; we'll handle your financial complexities.

Here Are Ways We Can Help You

Daily Sales & Till Reconciliation

Multiple payment methods, cash handling, and card fees - we streamline your end-of-day processes. Our systems automatically reconcile till rolls with bank deposits and identify discrepancies before they become issues.

Inventory Control & Profit Margins

Stock monitoring, supplier costs, and waste tracking help protect your bottom line. We calculate product profitability, identify slow-moving stock, and provide pricing insights that boost margins without losing customers.

Seasonal Cash Flow Planning

Tourism peaks, Christmas rushes, January lulls - we help you navigate the ups and downs. Our forecasting ensures you have working capital when needed and can capitalise on peak trading opportunities.

Staff Costs & Tip Management

Complex payroll with varying hours, tip distribution, and seasonal changes. We manage student workers' allowances to full-time benefits, ensuring compliance while controlling labour costs.

Multi-Location Financial Reporting

Running multiple sites? We provide consolidated reporting showing individual location performance alongside overall metrics, helping you identify your strongest and weakest performers.

Revenue Compliance & Industry Regulations

From hospitality VAT rates to cash register requirements, we ensure full compliance. We handle tourism VAT refunds, licensing documentation, and maintain records for industry inspections.
