Not a bookkeeper. Not a CPA firm. A specialist.
Inventory records, COGS, counts, and controls.
| Finding | Effect |
|---|---|
| Freight-in never added to item cost | COGS understated |
| Count variances written off to one catch-all account | Shrink hidden |
| Returns restocked at the wrong cost | Margin overstated |
| Old, unsellable stock still on the books | Inventory overstated |
If any of these sound like your business, your COGS probably isn't telling you the whole story.
Sales are up but profit isn't, and nobody can say exactly where the money goes.
The system says one number and the shelf says another, so everyone guesses.
It gets posted every month, but nobody checks whether it's right.
Remote, nationwide. Most of the work happens in your systems, not your office.

years of hands-on inventory accounting
I'm Edwin Aguilera, founder of TrueCount Inventory Advisory. Over ten years I've worked inventory accounting in very different settings: a small oil & gas company, a publicly traded corporation, and a large non-profit. That range means I've seen inventory systems at every scale.
Most accounting generalists treat inventory as an afterthought. When inventory numbers are wrong, everything downstream is wrong too: margins, taxes, and cash flow forecasts.
My promise: if I can't help, I'll tell you on the first call.
No. TrueCount is not a CPA firm and doesn't provide audit, attest, or tax preparation services. The work is inventory records, COGS, counts, and controls, and it fits alongside the accountant you already have.
That's who this is for. You get specialist inventory work for only what you need, without a full-time hire.
Yes, nationwide. I'm based in Metairie, Louisiana, and most of the work happens inside your systems.
That's what the Inventory & COGS Review is for. Messy records usually mean the biggest findings.
Most businesses start with the $750 COGS Check. It shows whether your cost of goods is off and by how much, and the full fee is credited if you move on to the Inventory & COGS Review.
We spend 30 minutes on your situation. If I can help, you'll get a fixed quote. If I can't, I'll say so.
