🚢 Accounting & Bookkeeping for Import Businesses

Accurate landed cost. Clean inventory. Confident decisions.

Importing goods is one of the most complex types of business to run — and also one of the hardest to account for. From tariffs and duties to freight, multi-channel sales, and inventory in transit, mistakes can quickly turn profitable shipments into losses.

 

We specialize in accounting, bookkeeping, and financial advisory for importers, helping you gain clarity, protect your margins, and finally get your books to reflect the reality of your operations.

⚠️ Why Import Businesses Need Specialized Accounting

Generic bookkeeping doesn’t work for importers. Why?

  • Landed cost must be calculated correctly

  • Freight, duties, tariffs, and port fees must be allocated to inventory

  • Inventory in transit must be tracked

  • HTS/tariff changes impact COGS

  • Multi-channel sales create reconciliation headaches

  • 3PL & FBA inventory must match accounting records

  • Supplier deposits, freight forwarders & customs brokers create irregular billing

  • Currency fluctuations affect vendor payments & margins

 

Most accountants avoid this niche.
We specialize in it.
