  • Payout reconciliation for an online store

    Each month the bookkeeper gets every payout from the store's processors and marketplaces taken apart and tied to the bank: the orders, refunds, chargebacks and fees inside it, each fee checked against the agreed rate, every difference listed with its evidence.

  • Range margin by channel review

    When a wholesale offer or a promotion changes the economics of a range, the finance lead gets a margin worksheet for every product in every channel, showing which cost layers are in each figure and which gaps are still open. It invents no cost and changes no price.
