[…] going on about the speed in which I have been able to let a few pubs of late. This has really only been possible as a result of the help and support of the Partner Accountant I use these days.
This company is Roslyns. I have known Martin Roslyn for many years now and he has been writing as an expert in the Morning Advertiser and Publican for over 10 years. His right hand man is Geoff Temperton who again I have worked alongside since 1998 and more recently worked alongside as an Operation Manager in Punch Taverns.
They employ their own stock-takers who are extremely proactive in not just doing stocks but actively advising using examples and local knowledge as to how to develop GP’s and reduce costs.
Their standard annual cost is £2,940 which compared to others offers very good value when every penny counts.
Though an exception when I recently had an RPA expire without much warning. From the initial phone call to Geoff he had a full business plan, P&L, cash flow and YPBPS back to me in 4 days. This was done quickly, professionally and face to face with the publican and their existing service provider. It really was quality – but also meant that I was able to start the process and let it within 10 days! Having worked on both sides of the fence and being able to compare all the current crop of Partner Accountants, I genuinely wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Try it for yourselves.

I have worked with Roslyns as an Area Manager and as the Contract Manager for Star Pubs & Bars. Their experienced Accountants, Stocktakers, Business Development Managers and support staff always provide excellent additional support on the ground, and the confidence that the correct advice is being given to operators across a large variety of different businesses. Roslyns are always very professional, and have the ability to take on work at short notice; importantly in the same professional manner as they would any other account. They continue to hit all KPI’s and SLA’s, and more often than not exceed them. It is a great comfort knowing that we have the support of an accountancy and stocktaking firm that supports their clients to the lengths that Roslyns do.

I have been using Roslyn’s Accountancy and Stocktaking for the past 10 years and have found them both professional and efficient. Being an ex-qualified stock-auditor it is keen for me to use a company that takes the time to produce accurate and legible information. It’s also key the information is in a format that is easy to understand with their recommendation’s to help streamline the business. I have no reasons whatsoever not to give them my full support in any venture that they tender for. I know the works undertaken by Martin, Geoff and their team will be accurate, professional and conducted in a timely manner.

I have dealt with Roslyns for the last 2 years and have been hugely impressed with their knowledge of the business. They have not only provided the stocktaking service but have gone above and beyond in the advice given. Specifically identification of large wastage issues with cask ales and how this can be reduced resulting in an increase in margin. I am now looking at expanding into different sites and will make sure Roslyns are part of my team from the start.

Running a multiple operation it is essential to have all the controls in place. Roslyns stocktakers have provided me with excellent service and their understanding of how my business operates sets them apart. They have also gone beyond my expectation of stocktaking providing additional support and advice to my managers on the day to day running and separately to myself regarding the control and manager performance. I have also recommended Roslyns services to other friends and operators.

For the past two years Roslyns have provided the independent stock audit for BPL Trading Limited across our seven different catering units. These audits are for Liquor and Catering Food.
Due to frustrations in the timing and accuracy of our prior provider, we offered our contract to tender. Through this process Roslyns were the successful provider.
Roslyns offer a consistently accurate audit which is timely and proficient. Their auditors really get to know the business, and understand each unit’s quirks and differences. The auditors are professional at all times and do not disrupt customer service. The reports provided are accurate, and provide useful action points and statistics to assist the businesses improve margins. In many ways the auditors are my eyes on the ground in the outlets, and keep me informed of any bad practice.
Communication of audits and scheduling of audit dates is the best that I have experienced, and Roslyns always understood should audit dates need to be amended due to business demands.
I would not hesitate to recommend Roslyns.Michael Hirst – Barnsley Premier Leisure
Cranfield Students’ Association has been using Roslyn’s as our monthly bar and café stock checkers since April 2014. They also carried out the CSA’s annual stock count for the retail operation in 2014.
During that period, Roslyn’s have expanded our stock checking and provided very helpful advice on stock holding and management. I am confident in saying that both our stock control and the quality of reporting has improved markedly since they assumed that role.
The CSA’s regular stock checker is very helpful and understanding. She is easy to work with and provides relevant and practical suggestions for improvement within the scope of the business.
I am pleased to be able to recommend Roslyn’s to any other Students’ Union or similarly sized business.Martin Davey – Cranfield Students’ Association
Over the last few months I have felt that the service I have been receiving from the company have been exceptional.
