Three brands, one rent, and a split that changes by who you ask.
Each brand has to stand on its own — its own stock, its own margin, its own answer at the end of the year. But the rent, the accountant and half the staff are shared, and the owner wants one view without the brands being quietly merged into it.
Sound familiar?
If none of these are your business, this probably is not the page for you — and we would rather you found that out here than on a call.
- 01
Three brands, one rent, one accountant, one office boy. The split changes depending on who you ask.
- 02
Brand A paid Brand B’s supplier in June, and nobody has recorded it since.
- 03
You want to see all three at once, and the only way is three files open side by side.
What you will be looking at
The screens this trade lives in
Every one of these exists today. Nothing here is something we would build for you later — that part has its own heading further down.
Businesses
Every brand as its own set of books, walled off from the others.
Group view
All of them at once, for the one person entitled to see all of them.
Shared costs
Rent, salaries and overheads split across brands by a rule, not by a monthly guess.
Inter-brand
When one brand pays for another, the balance between them stays visible.
Team & roles
A person who works for one brand sees one brand.
Reports
Each brand on its own, and the group together, from the same ledger.
What it already does
About the hard part
- A separate ledger per brand under one holding company
- Shared costs apportioned by rule and posted, not estimated
- Roles that stop at the brand a person actually works for
Usually built on top
A consolidation that matches how you think about the group, and the inter-brand rules your accountant will accept.
Scoped and quoted in writing before anything is built, and it ships into your own books — so a custom report reconciles to the statutory ones rather than disagreeing with them.
How custom work fits in →Not quite your trade?
The ledger underneath is the same one. What changes is the costing, the chart of accounts and which screens you open first.
Bring a bill you have not entered yet
We photograph it on the call and you watch the draft entry come back. It is a better demonstration than anything we could write here.
