Accounting support for retailers in Israel

One of the first tasks of a chartered accountant is to draw up your balance sheet.

Once a year, a retailer must produce his annual accounts to declare his sales and calculate his profit.

It's also the time to take stock of your business over the past twelve months, and to receive advice for your future projects.

How much cash did you manage to generate over the past year?

Can you invest in new equipment?

Can you release credit for a marketing budget?

Retailers are often "alone" in their decision-making process. A chartered accountant can be at your side throughout the year, helping you draw up interim balance sheets and management charts, or simply meeting with you to advise you.

The chartered accountant can also help and advise you on drawing up your invoices and estimates, and on the choice of invoicing software.

In Israel, several companies offer cash register solutions. Ask us about the best accounting software for your needs!
