Marine
Big transactions. Complex VAT. Serious money. Marine businesses demand a finance partner who understands the sector completely — and doesn't flinch at the complexity. We set it up, we run it, and we keep you in control.
We Understand the Pain Points of Marine Directors Better Than Anyone
Marine operations are complex — long projects, seasonal cashflow and heavy capital costs make financial control difficult.
- Profit by vessel or project completely unclear
- VAT & tax on vessel transactions misapplied
- Bad debts sitting in the ledger with tax already paid
- Gross profit on service lines below where it should be
- Seasonal cashflow creating unpredictable pressure
- Internal finance team diligent but not commercially aware
What changes
- Internal finance team fully replaced — better expertise at lower cost
- Bad debts written off and VAT & CT reclaimed on irrecoverable amounts
- Gross profit analysis across all service lines — unprofitable lines identified
- Mobile dashboard — live bank balances and daily sales, anywhere in the world
- A director who can take a holiday knowing the business is in safe hands
