Bookkeeping for Retailers
Accurate, efficient, and inventory-ready financial management for brick-and-mortar and online retailers.
Transparent Financials That Help You Sell With Confidence
Retail moves fast—inventory shifts daily, transactions happen constantly, and margins change with every sale or return. Whether you run a boutique storefront, manage multiple locations, or operate an eCommerce shop, keeping up with your books can feel like a full-time job.
At Remote Quality Bookkeeping (RQB), we provide retail accounting and retail bookkeeping services that help retailers stay profitable, organized, and tax-ready. With more than 20 years of supporting small businesses across the country, we understand the financial pressure retailers face—from tight margins and seasonal swings to multi-channel sales tracking.
Our retail accounting team provides the clarity you need to make wise decisions about pricing, staffing, inventory, and cash flow—so you can focus on delivering excellent customer experiences while we handle the numbers.
The Risks of Poor Accounting for Retailers
Without a system designed for retail, errors can accumulate quickly and quietly—hurting profitability and cash flow before you even notice.
Unclear Inventory Costs
When purchases, returns, and shrinkage aren’t tracked accurately, your COGS and margins become unreliable.
Disorganized Sales Data
Multiple sales channels (POS, online stores, marketplaces) require consistent reconciliation—or you’ll never see your true financial picture.
Cash Flow Gaps
Late vendor payments, misapplied returns, or incorrect deposits can create unnecessary financial stress.
Tax Complications
Retailers must navigate sales tax, marketplace facilitator rules, and state-by-state compliance—mistakes can lead to penalties or audits.
Inaccurate Financial Reporting
Without clean books, it’s impossible to evaluate product performance, set budgets, or plan for growth.

Hear From Our Retail Bookkeeping Clients
“So far I have been very pleased with the services that M.Kilduff Consulting has been providing me. As a small business owner with limited resources (time & $) it has been a challenge for me to keep my books up to date and accurate. And preparing information for my Accountant to file my taxes previously took me weeks. Mark and his team have filled a gap and provided me with additional time to do what I should be doing, running my business.”
