Bookkeeping for Retail & Product-Based Businesses
Retail and product-based businesses may process significant financial activity through storefronts, online sales, payment processors, vendor purchases, inventory, payroll, and operating expenses. Allied Alacrity provides recurring bookkeeping support designed to help keep those transactions organized and reconciled throughout the year.
-
Retail businesses may manage POS sales, merchant processor settlements, online and in-store revenue, vendor purchases, inventory, cost of goods sold, payroll, refunds, credit-card activity, sales-tax liabilities, and multiple payment platforms.
Accurately organizing these activities can create a clearer connection between sales activity, deposits, expenses, and overall financial performance.
-
Services may include monthly transaction categorization, bank and credit-card reconciliations, POS and merchant deposit reconciliation, vendor expense tracking, inventory-purchase bookkeeping, cost-of-goods-sold accounting support, sales-tax liability organization, payroll-related bookkeeping, and monthly financial reporting.
-
Depending on your engagement, monthly services may include reviewed and categorized transactions, reconciled financial accounts, reviewed sales and expense activity, Profit & Loss Statements, Balance Sheets, and tax-ready books.
Your monthly review may also include merchant deposits, POS activity, inventory-related purchases, vendor expenses, and other retail financial activity included within your service scope.
-
Organized monthly bookkeeping helps connect sales activity with the funds reaching your financial accounts and the costs associated with operating the business. This can provide greater visibility into revenue, inventory-related spending, merchant fees, payroll, and operating expenses throughout the year.
-
Pricing may depend on transaction volume, number of financial accounts, merchant processors or POS systems, inventory complexity, payroll activity, number of sales channels, number of locations, reporting requirements, and the condition of the current books.
Your monthly fee will be based on the actual bookkeeping workload required for your business.
-
Detailed inventory reconciliation, advanced COGS analysis, sales-tax return preparation, historical cleanup, A/P or A/R administration, additional locations, specialized management reporting, tax preparation, and other expanded services may be quoted separately.
Any additional work will be discussed before services are performed.
