Who we help
We're at our best where
the numbers are complicated.
Stock, manufacturing costs, sales channels, multiple companies and currencies. These are the businesses where finance is hardest to get right and matters most. That's where we specialise.
By stage
Wherever you are on the journey
Scaling up
Growing fast and need forecasts, funding readiness and a finance function that keeps pace.
Under pressure
Cash is tight, or lenders, suppliers or HMRC are pressing. You need control and a clear plan.
Sectors
Who we work with
Product businesses and wholesale
The challenge: stock ties up cash, landed costs are hard to track, and margins by product or customer are a guess.
How we help
Accurate stock valuation and landed costs for freight, duty and import charges
Margin analysis by product, customer and channel
Stock planning and supplier terms that protect cash
Import VAT and postponed VAT accounting handled correctly
Manufacturers
The challenge: product costs are uncertain, work in progress is a mystery at month-end, and pricing decisions rest on old assumptions.
How we help
Bills of materials, routings and labour and overhead costing in Odoo
Work in progress and variances reconciled every month
Cost roll-ups your CFO uses to review pricing and range
Capital investment and funding cases for new equipment
E-commerce and multichannel brands
The challenge: sales flow through several platforms, marketplace payouts are hard to reconcile, and fees, returns and advertising eat into margin.
How we help
Sales channels connected to Odoo, with marketplace and payment-provider settlements reconciled
True contribution margin after fees, fulfilment, returns and advertising
VAT across UK and overseas sales
Cash forecasting for stock-heavy seasonal peaks
Multi-entity and international groups
The challenge: several companies, currencies and countries, intercompany trading, and consolidation done by hand in spreadsheets.
How we help
All entities in one Odoo database, with intercompany transactions automated
Multi-currency accounting and group consolidation
UK subsidiaries of overseas groups: local compliance, payroll and reporting to the parent
UK groups with overseas subsidiaries: coordinated reporting and transfer pricing support
Odoo users
The challenge: you've invested in Odoo, but the accounting doesn't quite work. Costs are wrong, reports don't reconcile, or UK payroll still sits in a separate system.
How we help
An accountant-led review and fix of your setup
UK payroll and pensions brought into Odoo
Ongoing support, or we run the finance function for you
Fit
Is Augur right for you?
We're a strong fit if you:
Turn over roughly £[1m–£25m]
Hold stock, manufacture, or sell through several channels
Have, or plan to have, more than one entity
Use Odoo, or are open to moving to it
Want advice, not just filings
We're probably not the right fit if you:
Only need a simple year-end and tax return for a small business with few transactions
Want a one-off piece of work with no ongoing relationship
We'd rather tell you that up front, and we're happy to point you somewhere better suited.
