A Lichfield accountant has launched a new service to help stop high petrol and diesel costs eating into the profits of his clients.
Paul Bulzacchelli of Inspired Accountants has formed an alliance with Forecourt Fuels to offer his clients a fuel card solution which saves an average of 3 pence per litre: “Many small businesses are still suffering from the economic climate and the ever-increasing cost of fuel is adding to the pressure. Any small advantage that businesses can gain is well worth it as it can make hundreds and even thousands of pounds difference per year”, said Mr. Bulzacchelli.
Clare Makepeace from Forecourt Fuels commented: “Fuel prices have risen by about 20 to 25 pence in the last year. In reality for the average vehicle travelling 30,000 miles a year with an average 30mpg, this has meant the cost of fuel has risen by about £1,000 compared to the previous year.”
The fuel card solution on offer by Inspired Accountants offers more than just cost savings. Mr. Bulzacchelli concluded: “Our solution provides easy management whether you have one vehicle or run a smallfleet. With online account management you can monitor fuel usage, there is VAT approved invoicing and there is an agreed credit limit with flexible payment terms to help free up cash flow. Plus there are no set up costs, no contract, no monthly fees and with fixed weekly pricing you can know the price in advance for the whole week no matter where you are.”
