The retail and wholesale sector is one of the most competitive sectors in New Zealand. The capacity for small businesses to compete is affected by competition from major groups, suppliers and importers, changing demographics and new sales channels.
An increased pressure to discount stock while maintaining high levels of working capital can put a strain on cash flow and profitability.
Operating in this sector you need the support of an advisor that understands the key drivers, market trends and regulations unique to the retail and wholesale industry.
Our team works with a variety of businesses, from family owned operations to franchises and larger chains, to provide advice and guidance on the issues that count.
We take a strategic view of your operations to find efficiencies, improve cash flows, increase profitability and navigate through legislative and regulatory changes, which can place a significant time and administrative burden on business owners.
We can assist you with:
- Audit, accounting and tax compliance
- Budgets and cash flow forecasting
- Management accounting and industry benchmarking
- Internal control reviews
- Tax planning and advice
- Structuring and restructuring of groups
