Wallen C.
Accounting Manager | QBO, Xero | Inventory | SAAS
Most growing businesses do not just need a bookkeeper. They need someone who can look at the numbers, the stock, the systems, the reconciliations and the month-end process — and tell them where the business is leaking time, profit or sanity. That is the work I do. I help inventory-heavy and systems-heavy businesses clean up their accounting, stock, costings, workflows and reporting. My best work is with eCommerce, manufacturing, wholesale, retail, import/export and distribution businesses that have outgrown basic bookkeeping and now need proper finance operations. I am Xero certified, QuickBooks Online certified, A2X certified and Bill dot com certified. I am also a Cin7 referral partner, with experience across Xero, QuickBooks Online, Sage, NetSuite, Cin7, A2X, Shopify, Amazon, Dext, ApprovalMax, Bill, Stripe, PayPal and Excel. In plain English, I help businesses where sales are happening, stock is moving, suppliers are being paid, customers are ordering, payment gateways are clearing and everyone is busy — but the numbers are sitting in the corner looking suspicious. WHO I WORK BEST WITH I work best with growing businesses that have stock, systems and operational complexity. That includes eCommerce, manufacturing, wholesale, retail, import/export and distribution companies. I am especially useful when: * Your stock system and accounting system do not agree * Your COGS is unclear or unreliable * Your margins need detective work * Your month-end close takes too long * Your payment gateways are not reconciling cleanly * Your reports arrive too late to help anyone make decisions * Your inventory, accounting and sales platforms are not speaking the same language * Excel is being asked to perform miracles it never signed up for WHAT I DO BEST * Month-end close: reconciliations, journals, review files and reporting packs * Accounting cleanup: fixing messy Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or NetSuite files * Inventory accounting: stock movements, COGS, landed costs, margins and slow-moving stock * eCommerce accounting: Shopify, Amazon, A2X, Stripe, PayPal and payment-gateway reconciliations * Manufacturing accounting: raw materials, WIP, finished goods, job costing and production cost visibility * Wholesale and distribution accounting: supplier costs, multi-location inventory, reorder planning and margin reporting * AP and AR workflows: Bill, supplier bills, customer invoices, collections and payment controls * System setup and process improvement: chart of accounts, tracking categories, workflows, SOPs and integrations * Management reporting: clear financial reports that explain what is happening, not just what happened THE STACK I LIVE IN * Accounting: Xero, QuickBooks Online, Sage, NetSuite * Inventory and operations: Cin7, A2X, Shopify, Amazon, inventory workflows * AP and approvals: Bill, Dext, ApprovalMax * Payments and merchant accounts: Stripe, PayPal, Shopify Payments, Amazon settlements * Reporting and analysis: Excel, Google Sheets, management reports, KPI packs * Process improvement: SOPs, month-end checklists, reconciliation files and workflow documentation HOW I WORK My style is practical, clear and hands-on. I work inside your tools, clean up what needs cleaning, document the process properly, and leave you with a system that real people can actually follow. No accounting theatre. No unnecessary jargon. No 40-tab spreadsheet monster unless it really earns its keep. I am not only interested in producing neat accounts after the damage is done. I like building the system that stops the damage from happening in the first place. If your business has stock that does not agree with the system, margins that are unclear, reports that arrive after the decision has already been made, or a month-end process held together by memory, coffee and hope, send me a message. That is exactly the kind of problem I enjoy solving.
