COMMON QUESTIONS

What retail clients ask us

My POS numbers never match my bank. Can you fix that?

Usually the gap is card-processor fees, refunds, timing or cash. We reconcile each payout so you can see exactly where the difference comes from.

Do I need to count inventory at year-end?

Your year-end inventory value affects your profit and your tax, so a count, or a reliable perpetual record, matters. We'll show you what your business needs.

Can you handle retail and wholesale in one set of books?

Yes. We track revenue and margins for each channel separately within one set of books.
