Shop sales, online orders and card settlements do not always arrive in your bank account as one simple figure. Asticrest helps retail businesses and online shops in Limassol keep these records organised, with questions answered by our native English-speaking team.
From our Limassol office, we support Cyprus registered companies and businesses based in Cyprus. We agree the records you will provide, the work we will handle and your fees before we start.
Discuss your shop’s bookkeeping
Bring your sales and payment records together
Whether you sell through a physical shop, your own website or an online marketplace, we can help record transactions and reconcile the information you provide. Your agreed bookkeeping service can cover:
- Sales reports from your till, website or marketplace, including refunds and credit notes.
- Card settlements and payment-provider statements, showing fees and amounts withheld.
- Supplier invoices, purchases and business expenses.
- Bank reconciliations and questions about missing or unmatched transactions.
- Stock purchase records and stock-count information supplied by your business.
A payment arriving in your bank may be lower than the original sale because of fees, refunds or other adjustments. Sending the sales report and settlement statement helps us explain the difference and avoid treating every bank deposit as a separate sale.
Support beyond recording transactions
VAT records and returns
If VAT work forms part of your engagement, we organise the relevant records and prepare the agreed returns. Tell us where your customers and suppliers are based and how you sell, so we can discuss any additional questions or advice your business needs.

Payroll for your team
Payroll and social insurance work can be included where agreed. We explain which employee details, pay changes and other information you need to send and when we need it.
Monthly figures you can discuss in English
Management accounts can be included in your agreed service. Review sales, recorded costs and outstanding questions with us. Where reports require stock values or other information, we explain what your business needs to provide.

What to send each month
- Sales summaries and the underlying reports for each sales channel.
- Refund, credit-note and payment-provider settlement reports.
- Bank statements and statements for business payment accounts.
- Supplier invoices, expense receipts and supporting documents.
- Payroll changes and stock information required for the agreed work.
We agree a practical way to send records and explain missing items in plain English. You keep control of your business operations; we handle the bookkeeping tasks set out in your engagement.
Common problems for shops and online sellers
- One payout covers several sales days: match settlement batches to the sales reports, fees, refunds and reserves.
- Cash takings do not match deposits: keep till totals, cash expenses and cash retained separately, so differences can be explained.
- Returned goods and refunds are recorded in different months: provide credit notes and refund dates to trace the adjustment.
- Stock purchases are mistaken for the cost of goods sold: reliable gross-profit reporting needs opening and closing stock information, not just supplier payments.
Useful monthly reports for retail businesses
Agree a profit and loss report, sales by channel, payment-provider reconciliation, supplier balances and cash position where management reporting is included. Gross-profit or stock reports depend on reliable stock quantities, values and adjustments supplied by your business.
A monthly owner review
Check whether each sales channel has settled, investigate missing payouts, review refunds and compare stock information with recorded purchases. These checks help explain why sales, bank receipts and profit differ.
See the micro-business package from €85/month + VAT. High order volumes and multiple sales channels may require a wider scope and a separately agreed fee.
Starting out, switching or catching up?

Questions from shop owners
Can I speak to you in English?
Yes. Our native English-speaking staff explain the records we need and the next steps, and you can ask questions in English.
Do you support both shop and online sales?
We can discuss bookkeeping for both. Tell us which tills, websites, marketplaces and payment providers you use, so we can check the records available and agree a workable scope.
Will my fee include VAT returns and payroll?
Only where these services are expressly included in your agreed engagement. We clarify the scope, responsibilities and fee before work begins.
