Affordable services for wholesale & retail businesses 

Timely, accurate financial reporting helps business owners make more profitable decisions.

Accurate, up-to-date bookkeeping and accounting is critical for retailers in order to protect already-slim profit margins and keep an edge in a highly competitive industry.

Small and mid-size retail business owners must successfully manage inventory and other resources while attending to an onslaught of competing priorities: customer needs, local and online competitors, regulatory and tax compliance, labor costs and human resources, and more.

The Giersch Group has in-depth understanding and decades of experience in providing effective accounting services to the retail industry. We don’t just keep your books – we offer meaningful financial analysis and insights to help our retail clients increase top-line growth, improve cash flow and sleep like a baby at night knowing your cash reserves, tax deductions and growth strategy are in order.

We help business owners break the cycle of working insanely hard for little reward. And we offer our services at a price point real small business owners can afford. If you’ve been looking for an outsourced bookkeeping and accounting service focused on helping you achieve measurable financial results, get in touch. There’s no obligation, and we can meet online, or at our offices in Milwaukee, Brookfield, or Madison, Wisconsin. Our services are 100% virtual and available nationwide.

QuickBooks™ for retail businesses makes it simple to integrate your daily sales and inventory so you can easily see what’s selling, how much profit you’re making on items and whether sales really go up when you do markdowns.

We can review your existing books to ensure accuracy, handle the installation and setup, provide training for you and your staff, and more. QuickBooks™ Online services are available as part of our bookkeeping services or as a standalone – just let us know what you need.
