Accountancy Services for Independent and Community Pharmacies

"We are delighted with the service RA Accountants have offered us.

RA Accountants have designed our internal systems – and on a day-to-day basis deal with all our accounting issues (Book keeping, PAYE, NIC, VAT etc) which allows us to get on with the running of our four pharmacies.

Their tax planning advice has been invaluable – both corporate and personal. Revising our tax structure has reduced our tax burden, plus we have been able to take advantage of various tax reliefs available.

And as we have grown, RA Accountants has helped us with our expansion structure and our planning ahead for the future – and have given us sound advice when we have been making entrepreneurial decisions to grow our business."

RA Accountants can help you manage the day to day financial affairs of your business by offering a full range of accountancy services, including: -

Audit For Pharmacies

Pharmacy businesses with a turnover of £5.6m and a balance sheet of £2.8 million will require an audit. At RA Accountants, we view company audits as a useful opportunity to monitor the level of financial control within your business as well as being compliant with the relevant legislation. We will review your existing systems and suggest ways in which any identified weaknesses can be rectified.

Accounts Preparation for Pharmacies

We can help the preparation of your accounts, ensuring that you receive a tailored, efficient service that complies with current legislation. We can provide you with management accounts and help with your budgeting process.

The law requires that all businesses must keep accurate financial accounts for six years. However, we believe that producing accurate accounts ensures that you are better informed about the performance of your pharmacy business. If required, we can develop a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) suitable for your pharmacy business, which should help you make better decisions. The KPIs will help you have a clear picture of your current position, where your opportunities lie and where you could potentially cut costs.
