The Specific Challenges We Solve
Seasonal Buying and Inventory Valuation
Boutiques buy seasonally — often with net-30 or net-60 terms — and need to manage the cash flow gap between buying season and selling season. We track inventory value and upcoming payables together so you're never caught short.
Vendor Relationship Management
Multiple vendor accounts with varying payment terms, end-of-season returns, and markdown allowances create accounts payable complexity. We track every vendor account and ensure you're capturing credits, discounts, and adjustments correctly.
Pop-Up and Event Sales Tracking
Many boutiques supplement their storefront with pop-ups, markets, and local events. We track event-specific revenue and associated costs so you know the actual ROI of each sales channel — including whether the booth fee was worth it.
A Bookkeeper Who's Also a Federally authorized Enrolled Agent
Most bookkeepers categorize transactions and hand you a report. Simple Books Now does that — and our Licensed EA can also represent you before the IRS, file your business and personal tax returns, and advise on tax strategy year-round. One firm. No referrals. No gaps.
