The COGS & Inventory service

What you get with our COGS & Inventory service

Most of your profit hides inside COGS and inventory. We capture the true cost of every unit and put it where it belongs, so your margins are real and your books stand up to scrutiny.

COGS data that reflects reality

We capture true landed cost per SKU, including product, freight, duties and packaging, so your margins reflect reality, not guesswork. Fulfilment and platform fees are tracked separately within COGS so every pricing and reorder decision starts from accurate numbers.

A true picture of profit

We report gross profit by SKU and by sales channel. Whether you sell on Shopify, Amazon, Walmart or Faire, we tailor reporting for each, down to contribution margin by channel, inclusive of ad spend and marketplace fees, while tracking inventory accurately on your balance sheet.

Financials investors and lenders trust

We build precise, accrual-based books grounded in accurate COGS, inventory data and reconciliations to settlements and bank deposits. Whether you are raising funds, filing taxes or planning an exit, your audit-ready financials are backed by clear, documented inventory logic.

Deferred revenue recorded correctly

When revenue is recorded on the order date but the product has not shipped by month-end, we create manual journals to defer revenue and COGS. That keeps inventory matched to reality and stops revenue being overstated, then reverses cleanly the following month.

Deferred transactions handled

Some Amazon orders are excluded from settlement reports due to risk checks, which causes tools to under-report revenue. We accrue the estimated revenue and COGS manually and reverse it the next month, so your reporting stays accurate instead of lumpy.

Operational visibility that drives decisions

On the full-accrual plan we do more than close the books, we help you run the business. From reorder points and PO timing to margin impact by product line, our accounting feeds directly into your operations, so you plan instead of just report.

Inventory & COGS

Two ways to get COGS right.

We help eCommerce brands uncover the real cost behind every unit, so you can price with confidence, reorder without panic, and scale with clarity. Whether you need simple accrual accounting or a full inventory-integrated solution, we’ve got your COGS covered.

01

Simple Accrual Settlement-focused

Ideal for sellers who want reliable COGS without running a full inventory system. We reconcile settlement data from Amazon, Shopify, TikTok and others with A2X and Link My Books.

  • Landed cost tracked from purchase order to warehouse.
  • Inventory on hand and in transit on your balance sheet.
  • Settlement-based reporting tied to payout dates. You keep control of inventory tracking.
02

Full Accrual Inventory-first

Built for higher complexity, volume and multiple channels. We integrate a managed inventory system such as Finale Inventory and take ownership of the operational load.

  • Inventory implementation, PO creation, receipting and counts.
  • Supplier comms and AP management handled for you.
  • Revenue and COGS on shipment date, per order, per SKU, per channel.

Behind every client sits a repeatable system, a 75-point Quality & Trust Framework, and a dedicated accountant who knows your business. Not a chatbot, and not a different person every month.
