Auto Tech Miramar Ltd

When we started with Auto Tech, the director was feeling quite stressed about the state of his books, and he was struggling to keep on top of the bills which needed to be paid. Some suppliers were outstanding, and some were overpaid. After we carried out a Tidy My Books! service, we then carried out an audit of where his accounts were at, what he was overpaying for, and what services which weren’t needed anymore. With a few months of clear data, we were able to create a budget with real figures showing where the profit margins were at. With the increasing inflation, we were able to create more accurate pricing for services.
