Accounts preparation for pharmacists is a specialist’s task…

Make sure you have a detailed understanding of this sector before you start. Obtaining a unique understanding of the problems of retail pharmacists can take years to gain the necessary experience – the new contract, the claw back of discounts, the emphasis on services such as non-smoking sessions and medicine use review.

You should expect accountants to understand your pharmacy business and deliver same high-level cost-effective services as you do for your customers, who, with a prescription in their hand, need to be handled with understanding and compassion.

Cartwrights experience in retail pharmacy and the many pharmacists we work with provides us with a unique understanding and the credentials to address and solve the problems that pharmacists face. We have many retail pharmacists as clients and additionally we are auditors and accountants to one of the largest buying group of retail pharmacists.

With this understanding, we are able to promise our retail pharmacists the service levels they expect so that the following objectives are achieved:

• Accurate accounts produced in a timely manner.
• Up to date VAT and Tax advice.
• Long term tax planning.
