Do Wholesale & Distribution Companies Need Specialist Accountants?
Absolutely. Whether you’re importing goods, managing warehouses, or handling B2B invoicing:
- Stock Valuation & Turnover: Tracking cost of goods sold (COGS) and ensuring accurate margins.
- VAT Complexity: Especially for companies importing or exporting post-Brexit.
- Cash Flow & Debtor Control: Managing delayed payments from retailers or trade accounts.
Without tailored advice, profits can slip through the cracks—and non-compliance could cost you.
