Offshore bookkeepers who already know manufacturing books
Staff who already know manufacturing books - for the producers on your roster.
Manufacturing books live or die on inventory and costing: raw materials in, work in progress moving, finished goods out, and a cost of goods sold that only means something if every one of those movements is booked right. A generalist records purchases and sales and leaves the middle as a plug - which is why so many manufacturing clients discover their real margins once a year, painfully. We staff dedicated offshore bookkeepers who already know inventory accounting and job costing, so your manufacturing clients get numbers they can price from.
Inventory is three accounts, not one
Raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods move value through the plant, and each stage needs its own account and its own discipline. When everything sits in one inventory bucket, the balance sheet is right at most twice a year. Our manufacturing bookkeepers maintain the stage accounts, book the transfers, and reconcile to physical counts, so the client always knows what is material, what is product, and what is cash tied up on the floor.
Job costing with everything in it
A job cost that only counts materials and direct labor understates the real cost by exactly the overhead everyone argues about. Our manufacturing bookkeepers maintain job cost records that capture materials, labor, freight, subcontract work, and applied overhead on the method your firm documents - so quoted margins and actual margins are the same number.
COGS your reviewer can trace
Cost of goods sold should not be the plug that makes the balance sheet balance. When inventory movements and job costs are booked monthly, COGS falls out of the accounts with a traceable path from purchase order to shipment. Your reviewer spends the engagement verifying a number instead of constructing one.
Works under your brand
The bookkeeper can operate from your firm's email domain, inside your client portal, under your NDA — so your manufacturing clients believe they're talking to your team, not a sub-contractor. See how white-label bookkeeping works →
