How we cater to takeaway businesses
Some of the services we offer to takeaways:
Digital sales integration
With takeaways often relying on multiple online platforms for order management, we seamlessly integrate these digital sales channels with your accounting system, ensuring real-time tracking and efficient financial management.
Inventory management
Given the quick turnover in takeaway businesses, we offer tailored inventory management solutions. This ensures minimum wastage, optimal stock levels, and precise cost-per-dish calculations.
Dynamic cash flow monitoring
The cash flow in takeaways can vary considerably day-to-day. Our proactive cash flow monitoring tools ensure you're always in tune with your financial health, helping you make timely decisions.
Tax and compliance
Navigating the specific tax regulations for takeaways, from VAT on certain foods to employee-related deductions, our specialised knowledge ensures maximum benefits while maintaining full compliance.
Profit margin analysis
With insights into the most profitable dishes, delivery times, or even sales platforms, we empower you to focus on what works best, driving profitability.
Business growth consultation
Planning on expanding or diversifying your menu? Our experts offer data-driven insights, helping you make informed decisions for your takeaway's growth trajectory.
Our accounting services for takeaways
Some of the key accounting services we offer at MSF Associates include:
VAT and taxation management
In the UK, VAT applies to many goods and services, including those sold by takeaways. At MSF Associates, we assist your business in determining the correct VAT rates for various products, ensuring accurate VAT returns and managing other tax liabilities. This service encompasses end-of-year tax return preparations, capital allowances on takeaway-specific equipment, and guidance on potential tax reliefs and deductions, such as those related to business rates or employee benefits.
Payroll and employee management
Given the variable nature of working hours in the takeaway industry, especially with the inclusion of part-time staff, seasonal workers, or delivery personnel, managing payroll can be complex. We offer comprehensive payroll services that consider these dynamics, including calculating wages, handling National Insurance contributions, managing employee benefits, and ensuring that the business adheres to the UK's employment and wage regulations, including compliance with the national minimum wage.
Financial reporting and business advisory
We prepare regular financial statements, such as profit and loss accounts, balance sheets, and cash flow forecasts. These give you insights into the financial health and performance of your takeaway, advising on areas like cost control, pricing strategies, and investment opportunities. For those looking to expand or secure loans, we also help in preparing financial projections and business plans to aid in securing funding from banks or investors.
I’ve been with MSF for the past few months and what can I say, they’re levels up from my previous accountant! Manaf is easy to get to know and also helped me implement a lot of new software to streamline my restaurant financially.
