Local results
Hospitality group regained visibility
A independent hospitality group in Sunderland was juggling spreadsheets across three venues and missing supplier payment windows during the offshore engineering rush. We rebuilt bookkeeping in Xero with POS feeds, digital receipt capture, and automated bank rules tuned to offshore engineering seasonality. Our Croydon analysts produced weekly cash and cost dashboards that the founders could review on their phones before service began. Within six weeks manual reconciliation time dropped 18 hours each month and management packs landed three days earlier, giving lenders confidence to fund the next site. The shift freed leaders to double down on digital services growth while our Croydon specialists monitored compliance in the background.
