The Inventory Tracking & Control process at Finsignments begins with recording all inventory transactions, including purchases, sales, returns, and adjustments, to provide real-time visibility into stock levels. Inventory is categorized into raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods to streamline management. A perpetual inventory system is implemented to ensure stock levels are continuously updated. This system allows businesses to respond efficiently to changes in demand, avoiding stockouts or overstocking, thus optimizing inventory control and operational efficiency.

At Finsignments begin  with selecting the most suitable method for the business, such as First-In First-Out (FIFO), Last-In First-Out (LIFO), or the Weighted Average Cost method, each tailored to meet specific financial and tax objectives. Once the method is chosen, the cost of goods sold (COGS) is calculated to reflect accurate profitability. Additionally, the ending inventory is valued and reported on the balance sheet, ensuring compliance with accounting standards. This comprehensive approach provides clarity in financial reporting, supports better decision-making, and optimizes tax efficiency.

Our team of experts at Finsignments ensures that physical inventory counts align with recorded inventory data. This begins with coordinating periodic physical inventory counts to verify stock levels and identify discrepancies, such as theft, damage, or accounting errors. Any variances discovered are promptly addressed through adjustments for shrinkage or overages to maintain accurate inventory records. Finally, detailed reconciliation reports are provided, highlighting any differences between physical and recorded inventory, ensuring transparency and accuracy in the inventory management process.

The Inventory Turnover Analysis process at Finsignments begins with calculating the inventory turnover ratio to assess how efficiently inventory is sold and replaced within a given period. This analysis helps identify slow-moving or obsolete stock, allowing businesses to avoid over-investment in products that are not performing well. Based on these insights, strategies are recommended to optimize stock levels, ensuring the right balance between meeting customer demand and minimizing holding costs. This approach improves inventory management efficiency and enhances overall profitability.

Our team  focuses on optimizing the costs associated with holding and managing inventory. This begins by calculating and managing carrying costs, such as storage, insurance, and obsolescence, to reduce overheads and improve profitability. The process also includes budgeting and forecasting to ensure inventory levels are aligned with future demand, preventing overstocking or stock shortages. Additionally, for businesses seeking to minimize carrying costs, Just-in-Time (JIT) inventory strategies are implemented to ensure products are available exactly when needed, enhancing cash flow and operational efficiency.

The Inventory Reporting & Compliance process at Finsignments involves generating detailed reports that provide insights into stock levels, turnover rates, and inventory valuation to support financial analysis and decision-making.

Additionally, Finsignments manages tax reporting related to inventory, ensuring proper reporting of inventory valuations and cost of goods sold (COGS) for tax purposes, while helping minimize tax liabilities through compliance with applicable tax regulations.
