Introduction
A client approached E2E Accounting, facing several operational challenges related to updating sales records from Amazon and managing accurate stock valuation. The client needed a reliable solution to ensure that sales and inventory records were correctly reflected in their accounting books, as much of their stock was held with Amazon. E2E Accounting was tasked with resolving these issues to help the client streamline operations and improve financial reporting.
Identifying the Challenges
Upon an initial review, several key challenges were identified::
- The client needed help updating sales records from multiple Amazon portals in their accounting system, which caused financial discrepancies.
- Stock valuation was a significant concern, as the majority of inventory was stored with Amazon, leading to inaccuracies in reporting.
- The client needed to have standard operating procedures (SOPs) or documentation, making it difficult to standardise processes and manage records efficiently.
Solutions
To address these challenges, E2E Accounting implemented the following solutions:
- E2E Accounting conducted a comprehensive analysis to identify the specific skill sets needed to address the client’s challenges and assigned a dedicated resource to work closely with the end client.
- A customised process was developed to record sales from Amazon statements, ensuring that balances across all Amazon portals were consistent and matched.
- A detailed stock valuation report was prepared, integrating warehouse and Amazon-stored inventory for accurate reporting.
- Monthly management reports were tailored to the client’s needs, providing clear insights into their financial standing.
Overcoming the Challenges
Several obstacles arose during the implementation process, but E2E Accounting employed proactive measures to overcome them:
- To address the lack of SOPs, a workshop was organised with the client to deepen their understanding of their operational procedures and business needs.
- The client was thoroughly briefed on how processes would be managed on E2E Accounting’s end, and the future workflow was outlined clearly to ensure alignment
- Implementing new processes required ongoing communication and training to ensure the client’s comfort with the updated workflow.
Benefits Achieved To The End Clients
Through the tailored solutions provided by E2E Accounting, the client experienced several notable benefits:
- The introduction of SOPs and clear documentation streamlined the client’s processes, significantly reducing the time spent resolving operational queries.
- Accurate stock valuation and real-time cash flow tracking allowed the client to make better forecasting and financial decisions.
- Income and cost of goods sold (COGS) were accurately recorded, improving the client’s financial reporting and business transparency
