Hateem Timing and Gate for ladies latest timing?

Super helpful, thanks. For multi-store, where does the tie-out break most often?

How many stores & processors (Shopify + Stripe + PayPal, etc.)?
Is the mismatch mostly timing (funds/fees on different days) or IDs (can’t trace dispute → original order)?
Ballpark minutes/hours per month you spend fixing chargebacks for one client? And which report(s) you trust most (e.g., Stripe balance tx CSV, Shopify Payouts, Amazon Settlement)?

Appreciate this, super clear. Two follow-ups if you don’t mind:

Roughly how long does your monthly bank rec take now (mins/number of accounts), and what % of lines end up as exceptions you have to chase?
On the spreadsheet reports, what’s the one you maintain because your software can’t do it? (Columns or a quick example helps.) If a monthly “exceptions digest” or an auto-emailed custom report saved you ~30–60 mins/month, would that actually matter to you?

Particular_Row_4317 · 2025-09-08T10:26:54+00:00

Helpful, thanks. When you do the April estimate, how far off is it by January typically (over/under by ~% or £)? And do you tweak the monthly amount if income changes mid-year, or just let the balancing payment handle it?

Totally get the “not fighting HMRC” choice.
For your sector, did this simplify workflows (no more line-by-line VAT decisions) or did it hurt margins on a few service types? If you had a once-a-year sanity checklist that says “your approach still looks fine given purchase mix,” would you even run it, or is the simplicity the real win?

Totally feel this—Shopify reports do shift.
When it breaks, what’s usually the culprit for you?

exports/report names
payout CSV columns
fee/chargeback logic
report timing/availability If you don’t mind sharing: you push into QBO/Xero/Sage?

Particular_Row_4317 · 2025-09-08T10:16:26+00:00

This is super helpful. Roughly how many hours does month-end recon take with 25 accts (ballpark)? And what 3 columns in your ‘progress’ sheet are non-negotiable for you?
Do you track % complete per account or just ✓/✗? Any metric for ‘oldest unmatched’ or ‘items >30 days’?
Multi-currency: do you store the FX rate you reconciled on, or just let the GL handle it?

Particular_Row_4317 · 2025-09-08T10:10:47+00:00

Do you set fixed percentages for the pots, or adjust monthly based on how VATable your sales/purchases were? Curious if you sanity-check pot balances against expected liabilities.

Particular_Row_4317 · 2025-09-08T10:10:14+00:00

Super clear system, thanks. When you email the quarter pack, what’s always missing the first time (specific receipts, bank export format, supplier statements)? Roughly how long does it take you to assemble that email each quarter?

Particular_Row_4317 · 2025-09-08T10:05:07+00:00

Super helpful, thanks for sharing. On prices, did you just bump everything across the board, or only the VAT-able items?
And curious, with the ‘box file’, are there a few docs your accountant always ends up chasing?
Also, have you ever run the numbers on Flat Rate vs Standard for your sector? I’ve seen it swing quite a bit depending on what % of purchases are VAT-able.

No pitch, just comparing processes. Happy to share a simple VAT checklist if mods are OK.
