Punch Partnerships has launched this initiative to ensure it gets 'the best people in the best pubs' one of its major advantages is that it strives to give the best advice to its partners by way of strong financial and stock controls - right from day 1.

Pubwise is an independent, nationwide panel of Licensed Trade Accountant Specialists providing accountancy and stocktaking services to the trade. The rigorous tender process undertaken in order to get the panel of specialist independent firms has resulted in a network of just 13 vetted and approved suppliers.

NRS Accountants and Three Counties Payroll has been awarded regional aproval to cover areas stretching from north Birmingham through to Southern England and has been successfully supplying services to many new partners across these areas and we are planning to expand these services further in 2011/12.

We are able to do this through our network of advisors, experience in the industry, and our dedicated team at Worcester.

Both NRS Accountants and Three counties payroll have been assisting Partners with setting up and managing their accounts, cash sheets and records; offering ongoing training and guidance; handling management accounting; VAT returns; conducting stocktakes and providing payroll services.

The services on offer are based upon a 'model of services' required by new Partners. As expected NRS Accountants and Three Counties Payroll have been adapting and renewing the services and skills since the launch of the panel in January 2011.

There are many new and exciting things happening in the licensed trade and we are proud to be part of its continued growth and development. Punch Taverns are a company which embraces changes in the market and adapts its policy and procedures to support its partners wherever it can.
