Accountants for Jewellers & Gemstone Traders in Hatton Garden
Specialist accounting and tax support for jewellers, diamond dealers, gemstone traders and precious-metal businesses in Hatton Garden.
From bookkeeping and VAT to stock, margins, international transactions and year-end tax, ATA structures the accounting around the way jewellery businesses actually trade.
More Than Standard Retail Accounting
Jewellery and gemstone businesses have financial characteristics that set them apart from ordinary retail businesses. High-value stock, precious metals, international transactions and specialist VAT treatments all require more careful accounting.
Good bookkeeping should do more than record purchases and sales. It should give you visibility over stock, margins, VAT and the movement of money through the business.
Your Jewellery Business Deserves More Than Generic Accounting
Stock, gemstone purchases, VAT, precious metals and international transactions create accounting challenges that require a closer understanding of how the business operates.
Four Areas That Need Closer Attention
These are some of the areas where jewellery and gemstone businesses often need more than ordinary bookkeeping.
Know What Your Stock Is Really Worth
Jewellery businesses can hold significant value in finished jewellery, loose gemstones, diamonds, precious metals and work in progress.
VAT in the Jewellery Trade
VAT can become more complex where businesses deal in different types of jewellery, second-hand goods, precious metals or international transactions.
Accounting for High-Value Transactions
Gold, precious metals, diamonds and gemstones can involve high-value individual transactions and specialist accounting considerations.
International Jewellery & Gemstone Trading
International sourcing and sales can introduce additional accounting requirements around currency conversion, import VAT, customs evidence and overseas transactions.
Are Your Stock, VAT and Accounting Records Telling the Same Story?
If the bookkeeping, stock records and VAT position are difficult to reconcile, we can review how the accounting process is currently structured.

Yes. ATA provides accounting and tax support for jewellers, gemstone and diamond traders, precious-metal businesses, workshops and related jewellery businesses in Hatton Garden and elsewhere in the UK.
