In the retail industry, managing finances goes far beyond tracking sales and expenses. Retailers must account for inventory turnover, seasonal trends, supplier payments, point-of-sale data, and VAT compliance. Generic bookkeeping misses these nuances. That’s why at AJM Business Support, we provide retail-specific financial recording and bookkeeping services. We ensure your finances reflect the true performance of your shop - accurately capturing product margins, discounting, stock valuation, and sales analytics to support clear, compliant, and growth-ready operations.

Are You Getting the Help You Need to Review, Analyze, and Evaluate Your Financials from a Performance Perspective on a Regular Basis?
Sales numbers alone don’t tell the whole story. Regular financial analysis is essential to understand what’s really driving (or hindering) your profitability. Our Retail Business Performance Reviews help you go beyond surface-level figures to evaluate cost of goods sold (COGS), inventory movement, profit margins, staffing efficiency, and overall business health. We translate your data into actionable strategies - so you can boost performance and stay competitive in a dynamic retail environment.
