What Your Inventory Valuation VA Handles
Inaccurate inventory hurts your profit margins and leads to tax headaches. Our VAs execute the daily auditing and calculation workflows to keep your books completely clean.
Stock Reconciliation Audits
Comparing your physical warehouse counts or 3PL portal reports against your Shopify/Amazon backend to identify, investigate, and correct shrinkage or variances.
Landed Cost Calculation
Gathering invoices from freight forwarders, customs, and suppliers to accurately distribute total landed costs across SKUs, ensuring your reported P&L is exact.
FIFO / WAC Valuations
Maintaining complex spreadsheets or managing your ERP system to correctly track inventory value using First-In-First-Out or Weighted Average Cost methodologies.
SKU & Listing Management
Creating new items in your inventory management software, ensuring SKU naming conventions are followed, and mapping bundles or kits to parent items perfectly.
Purchase Order Tracking
Drafting POs based on your approvals, sending them to suppliers, and continually updating expected delivery dates in the system based on freight forwarder updates.
Dead Stock & Low Alerts
Generating weekly reports on aging inventory sitting in the warehouse costing you storage fees, while simultaneously flagging fast-moving SKUs hitting their reorder points.
Fluent in Inventory Management Platforms
Our VAs seamlessly integrate into the leading IMS and ERP platforms used by high-volume D2C and wholesale brands.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do your VAs know how to calculate Landed Cost?
Yes. Our Inventory VAs understand that COGS isn't just the unit price. They know how to take commercial invoices from your freight forwarders (shipping, customs, duties, insurance) and proportionately distribute those costs across the PO items in your ERP system so your gross margins are accurate.
Are they familiar with FIFO and Weighted Average Cost?
Absolutely. Whether you use a rigid FIFO system for tax purposes or calculate a rolling Weighted Average Cost (WAC), the VA will structure and update the tracking spreadsheets or ERP settings according to the accounting methodology your CPA requires.
How do they handle sensitive financial data and supplier pricing?
Security is our priority. We recommend granting Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) in systems like Cin7 or Shopify so VAs can update inventory without having master access to your bank accounts. All VAs sign strict NDAs and undergo data privacy training.
What happens if there's a math error in a stock reconciliation?
This is where the Sagedoer fully managed model shines. Your dedicated Project Manager acts as an internal QA layer. They audit the VA's spreadsheet logic, spot-check PO entries, and verify variance reports before they are submitted to you or your accounting team.
