Retail Bookkeeping & Sales Reconciliation
Books that keep up with how your shop actually trades.
Daily takings reconciled. Card payments matched. Supplier costs accounted for. All without adding anything to your evenings — just clear, current records you can open any time and trust.
What this delivers
A set of books you can open on a Tuesday morning and actually read.
That might sound straightforward, but for most retail operators it isn't. Between the till reports, card terminal data, and supplier invoices, pulling everything together takes time that most shop owners don't have. This service handles that reconciliation — consistently, without fuss.
Daily clarity
Every trading day reflected accurately in your records, not weeks later.
No evening admin
Your time after hours stays yours. We handle the number-matching.
Decisions grounded in fact
When you need to know where the business stands, the answer is already there.
Where things get tricky
Running a shop is already a full day's work.
The trading day ends and there's still the till to reconcile, the card payment report to check, a couple of supplier invoices to log. It piles up quietly. Some shop owners do it late at night. Others let it slide until the end of the month — and then spend a Saturday sorting it out.
Either way, the books are never quite current. And when something looks off — an unexplained variance, a supplier discrepancy — tracing it back is harder than it should be.
It's not about lack of effort. Retail finance just has a particular rhythm that generic bookkeeping tools and general accountants don't always follow well.
Does any of this sound familiar?
-
Till data, card reports, and supplier invoices live in different places and never quite line up.
-
Catch-up sessions eat into weekends that should be resting time.
-
When someone asks "how did last week go?", the honest answer is "I'm not entirely sure yet."
-
Year-end is always more stressful than it needs to be because the records aren't as tidy as hoped.
How we approach it
Bookkeeping built around the retail trading cycle, not around a generic template.
We work from your actual data — till reports, card terminal summaries, supplier invoices — and reconcile them into a clean set of accounts that reflects what genuinely happened in your shop each day. No assumptions, no placeholders.
The accounts are structured around how your business trades: by payment type, by supplier, by category if that's useful. So when you open them, you're looking at your business, not a generic chart of accounts that was never really designed for retail.
And because we work consistently through the month, there's no backlog to clear. The records stay current, and so does your picture of the business.
Daily reconciliation
Takings, card payments, and costs matched and logged as trading happens — not in one big catch-up.
Supplier cost tracking
Purchase invoices logged and matched to payments so your cost side is as clear as your sales side.
Readable reporting
Monthly summaries written in plain language, showing what actually happened — not just a P&L that needs interpreting.
Year-end readiness
Because records are maintained consistently, handing over to your accountant at year-end is straightforward — no last-minute scramble.
What working together looks like
Simple to get started. Consistent once underway.
01
We get to know your setup
A short call or exchange of messages to understand your till system, card terminal, main suppliers, and how you currently record things. No forms to fill — just a conversation.
02
We structure your accounts
We set up a chart of accounts that reflects your business — payment types, supplier categories, whatever makes the most sense for how you trade. You review and confirm before anything is processed.
03
We handle the daily work
You share data in whatever format works best — a forwarded email, an uploaded report, a shared folder. We take it from there. Most clients settle into a routine within the first two weeks.
04
You get regular, readable updates
Monthly summaries land in your inbox, written to be read rather than filed. If anything needs your attention between reports, we'll flag it promptly.
The investment
Straightforward pricing for a consistent service.
Retail Bookkeeping & Sales Reconciliation is priced at $240 per month. That covers daily reconciliation, supplier cost tracking, and monthly reporting for a single retail location.
There are no setup fees and no long-term contracts required to get started. We work month to month, and if you need to pause or stop, you simply let us know.
If you run more than one location and would like consolidated reporting across sites, that's covered under our Multi-Store service — we're happy to talk through what a combined arrangement might look like.

How we know it works
A methodology built on retail reality, not generic principles.
Most bookkeeping processes were designed around service businesses or manufacturers. Retail has its own rhythm: daily cash positions, card settlement windows, supplier credit terms, seasonal stock fluctuations. Our reconciliation process accounts for all of that.
We use a three-way match for every trading day — till records, card terminal reports, and bank credits — before anything is posted to the books. That way, discrepancies are caught quickly, while the data is still fresh and traceable.

Our commitment
We stand behind the quality of our work.
If you're not satisfied with the clarity or accuracy of your records in the first month, we'll review everything together and make it right at no additional cost. That's not a marketing line — it's how we'd want to be treated ourselves.
We also offer a no-obligation initial conversation before you commit to anything. If after talking it through you decide it's not the right fit, that's genuinely fine. We'd rather you find the right support than feel pushed into something that doesn't suit you.
There are no contracts requiring months of notice. If your circumstances change, you can adjust or stop the service with reasonable advance notice.
First-month quality commitment
If the records aren't right, we review and correct them together, at no extra charge.
No-obligation initial call
Talk through your situation before committing to anything. We'll tell you honestly whether this service is likely to help.
No lengthy notice periods
If circumstances change, you can adjust or end the arrangement without complicated exit processes.
