Inventory Problems Keeping You Up At Night?
Peace of mind is waiting for you.
Inventory management and accounting — especially for manufacturing companies — is complicated.
Even the big accounting firms struggle to find people who fully understand inventory management and accounting. So how are small-to-midsized companies supposed to find an inventory accounting and management specialist?
It’s hard, I know. I’ve seen so many companies whose books are a mess because the person they hired didn’t have a deep understanding of how it’s all connected.
That doesn’t mean they’re bad at their job! In fact, most accountants I know are amazing at what they do — but their specialty isn’t to deal with your inventory. It’s to ensure your tax returns are prepared correctly, your internal controls are working, and all that other important accounting stuff.
Here’s the thing: those accountants need the right information to do their job (and so do you)! And that means having up-to-date and accurate inventory numbers.
So how do you ensure you’re providing the right information to your accountant — and looking at the right figures yourself so you can make informed decisions for your business?
Hire an inventory accounting and management specialist who understands exactly how it all works for your manufacturing business. Someone who knows how to work with your accountants, manage your books, and keep your inventory under control.

Complete Inventory and Financial Data Analysis
This package service is for businesses who aren’t sure if they need a clean up but definitely need a comprehensive review of their inventory and accounting systems because things are not adding up. I do a very deep dive into your data and provide you with a detailed list of all the problems to be fixed. The document I create after my review of your books and inventory system can be used as a detailed starting point for you to fix the issues yourself or as a head start on a clean up project.
