How We Helped a Boutique Retailer Avoid a $50,000 Inventory Crisis
Your accounting firm Doesn’t Know How to Read the Patterns, But We Do
This business owner had heart. She ran a growing online and storefront boutique. But inventory was eating her alive, and her cash flow was inconsistent. Her bookkeeper reconciled accounts, but couldn’t help her understand why things felt off.
We immediately saw several red flags:
We didn’t just balance the books. We dug deeper.
Inventory was expensed instead of capitalized and tracked.
Dead stock was hiding in her books like assets, making her think she had more value than she really did.
She was over-ordering her lowest-performing SKUs.
We helped her build a real inventory system, cleaned up the books, and gave her a forecasting tool to understand seasonal cycles. Within 60 days, she had clarity and control and avoided a projected $50,000 cash gap that would’ve hit just before the holidays.
We weren’t just accountants. We were a second set of business eyes that saved her from a wall she didn’t even see coming.
