Inventory, margins, and channels that finally match the bank. QuickBooks, QuickBooks, fixed fee. Free assessment.
Houston is big, multi-location, and multi-entity by default — the kind of sprawl that quietly scrambles a chart of accounts long before anyone notices. For retail stores across Harris County — from the Energy Corridor and the Texas Medical Center to the Heights and Montrose — that shows up as purchases expensed on arrival and no periodic counts mean margin and taxes are both wrong and in-store, shopify, amazon, and marketplace fees each behave differently — and none reconcile
Steven Palmieri works remotely with Houston owners in a market defined by energy, healthcare, and international trade through the Port of Houston. We fix inventory vs. COGS treatment, reconcile every sales channel to the bank, and surface the sales-tax picture before a state does. You get a documented before/after trail your CPA can verify — no offshore rush job, no judgment about how far behind the books have slipped.
You're not bad at business. The books just stopped telling the truth about the floor and the register.
POS says one thing, shelves say another, books say a third.
Online, wholesale, and walk-in revenue pile together — so you can’t kill what doesn’t work.
Without clean cost, every “sale” is a gamble.
Two minutes. No document dump. Just the truth about how behind it feels.
We rebuild inventory, COGS, and channels so margin is real — not a story you tell yourself.
Backlog cleared. Accounts reconciled. A before/after report you — and your CPA — can act on.
Retail cleanup that makes inventory and margin honest.
Every account reconciled and every anomaly documented before we change a thing.
The backlog cleared with retail business-correct categories — not a generic chart of accounts.
A before/after summary and a simple monthly rhythm so it stays clean after we leave.
If our assessment can’t show you exactly what’s wrong and what it costs to fix, the assessment costs you nothing — no obligation either way.
“Finally handed my CPA a clean QuickBooks file instead of a shoebox.”
“First accurate gross margin in four years of trading.”
“Marketplace fees stopped hiding in “miscellaneous.””
