Purchases vs. Inventory
Separate items bought for resale or production from ordinary operating expenses so inventory and cost of goods sold are not distorted.
Business Services
Inventory & Cost of Goods Sold
Keep inventory, purchases, and cost of goods sold connected so gross margin reflects what the business is really earning.
Inventory Is Cash Sitting in the Business
Inventory accounting affects the balance sheet, cost of goods sold, gross profit, taxable income, purchasing decisions, and cash flow. When purchases are expensed too early, inventory is not reconciled, or production costs are incomplete, the financial statements can tell the wrong story.
Raw Materials, WIP & Finished Goods
Organize costs based on where they are in the production or sales cycle when the business manufactures or assembles products.
Physical Counts & Reconciliation
Compare book quantities and values with actual inventory on hand and investigate differences before they compound.
COGS & Gross Margin
Connect sales to the cost of the products sold so management can see changes in margin, pricing, purchasing, and product mix.
Shrinkage, Scrap & Obsolescence
Track damaged, missing, slow-moving, obsolete, or scrapped inventory so operational problems do not remain hidden in the balance sheet.
Tax-Ready Inventory Records
Maintain support for inventory methods and year-end balances so tax preparation does not become a reconstruction exercise.
Inventory Method and Tax Treatment Matter
The tax rules provide special treatment for certain small-business taxpayers, but businesses still need an accounting method for inventory that clearly reflects income. Businesses that maintain inventory also need consistent methods for identifying and valuing what remains on hand.
KDW helps connect the books, physical inventory, cost of goods sold, and tax-ready records so management and tax reporting are working from the same underlying information.
