Bookkeeping for CPG & Consumer Brands
Product businesses have layers of complexity — COGS, inventory, retailer payments, and margins. We track all of it so you know exactly where your money goes.
Common Challenges
What Makes CPG Bookkeeping Different
COGS & Margin Tracking
If you don’t know your true cost of goods, you don’t know if you’re actually profitable. We build out your COGS structure properly from day one.
Inventory Reconciliation
Inventory that isn’t tracked is inventory that disappears. We reconcile your physical stock against your books every month.
Retailer & Distributor Payments
Net 60 terms, slotting fees, chargebacks — the CPG payment landscape is complicated. We track every receivable so nothing falls through the cracks.
