PIA Group: your trusted retail sector expert

A local bakery, a supermarket or a specialised bookshop? No matter what kind of retail business you run, you face specific challenges. That’s where an accountant or tax-legal advisor with in-depth retail knowledge proves invaluable. With years of experience, PIA’s specialists know what drives retail success and how to make the most of it. We actively contribute to your business journey, pointing out both opportunities and potential pitfalls in good time.

Do you know in detail which VAT rules apply to the products and services in your accounting records? Do you take into account the exceptions, such as VAT exemptions or simplified VAT returns for e-commerce?  And do you know how to handle matters such as your inventory?

Handling all these administrative aspects accurately is far from straightforward. A detailed analysis of your business and its activities is therefore essential. PIA’s experts provide clear insights into your operations and translate them into practical advice, helping you maximise the potential of your business.

Recording your income and expenses at the till is crucial in the retail sector. These figures are stored in your cash register system and are reflected in your accounts. Selecting, purchasing and integrating a system that fits your business perfectly requires specific knowledge that you might not have or prefer not to spend time on. Fortunately, our Digital Transformation experts can provide assistance, not only with cash register systems but also with other smart automation solutions.

Which legal requirements apply to you as a retailer? Are you fully compliant with GDPR regulations? And are you aware of all your supplier obligations? Drafting collective labour agreements and general terms and conditions are also matters you simply can’t afford to overlook. Our legal experts are well-versed in all relevant regulations across a wide range of areas and they closely monitor the frequent changes in the law. Proactive advice is part of PIA Group’s DNA, giving you peace of mind that your business is always fully compliant.
