How We Helped a Growing Delivery Business Stay on Track
When this London-based delivery company launched in 2019, the directors hit the ground running. Partnering with a global e-commerce giant, they quickly built up their own fleet of vehicles and drivers to ensure thousands of packages reached customers on time.
Like many fast-growing businesses, their focus was clear: maintaining smooth operations and meeting customer demand. However, behind the scenes, another challenge lay in setting up the right financial and administrative processes to support such rapid expansion.
The Challenge
For the directors, this was their first experience working with an accountant. On top of standard accounting needs, there were significant administrative pressures linked to the delivery partner’s strict compliance requirements.
In the very first month, more than 20 drivers were onboarded — each needing contracts, compliance checks, tax registrations, and regular payroll processing. Managing weekly payslips, handling driver queries, and staying on top of HMRC requirements quickly became a major burden.
How We Helped
We stepped in to take the pressure off. Beyond looking after statutory accounts, corporation tax filings, VAT returns, and personal tax submissions, we provided hands-on support with the company’s unique operational challenges.
- A tailored cashflow plan ensured driver wages could be paid in line with incoming payments, avoiding unnecessary strain.
- We built a bespoke invoicing tool to generate weekly invoices automatically and store them securely for each driver.
- We streamlined payroll processes, reducing errors and saving the directors valuable time.
By combining traditional accounting services with practical, customised solutions, we gave the business the back-office structure it needed to grow with confidence.
The Impact
With their accounting and admin in safe hands, the directors were free to focus on what mattered most: scaling their operations and ensuring deliveries ran smoothly.
