Books built for the brand that ships.
Bookkeeping, tax, and CFO advisory for Canadian consumer-goods brands and retailers. Multi-channel sales reconciled, inventory accounted properly, sales tax tracked across provinces and borders.
Shopify, Amazon, retail POS, and wholesale. All channels, one ledger, margin visible by SKU and by channel.
The four pieces every brand gets wrong before they bring us in.
Inventory math, channel reconciliation, sales tax across borders, and the costing decisions behind real margin. Standard work for us, end-of-quarter for most firms.
Inventory accounting
FIFO or weighted average, set up once and held to. Cost of goods sold tied to units shipped, not units bought. Margin by SKU, on demand.
Multi-channel reconciliation
Shopify, Amazon, Stripe, Square, retail POS, and wholesale invoices all land in the books with the right fees, refunds, and chargebacks stripped out. Net revenue, not gross.
Multi-province sales tax
GST, HST, PST, and QST tracked by ship-to address. Nexus thresholds watched, returns filed when due, registrations handled when you cross a line.
Cross-border and duty
US sales tax via TaxJar or Avalara, customs and duty posted properly, currency moves tracked through Wise. Books that survive a CBSA review.
Five shapes of consumer business. Same bench.
Different channels, different unit economics, same need. Books that mirror how the brand actually makes money, not a one-size-fits-all chart of accounts.
DTC consumer brands
Shopify-first, paid-acquisition heavy, returning-customer math at the core. Cohorts, CAC, contribution margin, all reported with the books.
Marketplace sellers
Amazon, Etsy, Walmart, eBay. FBA fees, storage costs, settlement deposits to net, returns reserves, currency conversion. The platform math, sorted.
Wholesale and B2B
Trade terms, net-30 invoicing, broker commissions, drop-ship arrangements. Inventory committed to POs that have not shipped, tracked separately.
Brick-and-mortar retail
Lightspeed and Square POS reconciled daily. Inventory across locations, cash handling, end-of-day variance, gift card liabilities, all in the right place.
Omnichannel brands
DTC, wholesale, retail, and pop-ups running side by side. Consolidated reporting that respects each channel's margin profile instead of averaging them away.
The questions every brand owner asks before the next PO.
The kind your bookkeeper either solves or quietly creates. We sit on the right side of that line.
"Our Shopify revenue and the bank deposit never match. Where is the missing money?"
"We are selling into Quebec and BC now. What sales tax registrations do we need?"
"Are we actually profitable on Amazon after FBA fees, storage, and returns?"
"Inventory is sitting longer than last year. How do I know which SKUs are stuck?"
Real brands. Specific outcomes.
Three quick snapshots of where consumer-goods brands stood when they came in, and where they landed within twelve months.
Shopify revenue and bank deposits off by CAD 40k a quarter.
Reconciled to the penny. Refund and chargeback reserves now in plain sight.
"Profitable" on the dashboard, breaking even after fees and storage.
True channel margin reported monthly. Pricing reset, gross margin up 9 pts.
Three POS systems, no consolidated inventory view, frequent stockouts.
Inventory unified across DTC, wholesale, and POS. Turn up from 3.4x to 5.8x.
Exactly how we solve the problems keeping you up at night.
Growth almost killed us, twice. We had a million dollars in invoices that weren't coming in, and the Numinor CFO team showed up with strategies. A year later, our consultants are booking 20 percent more revenue.
Numinor helped us close our last round. They built the data room that closed the financing. The biggest reason I'd recommend them: I spend less time in the business and more time on the business.
Four weeks between incorporation and our first close. Our investors keep asking why our books are always on time and so easy to pull. The answer is: that's just how Numinor works.
Brand questions, plainly answered.
Have one we have not covered? Email the team and we will come back within a business day.
Yes. We pull data through A2X or Synder so Shopify and Amazon settlements land in your books with fees, refunds, and chargebacks separated correctly. Net revenue, not gross deposits.
We set you up on FIFO or weighted average, document the policy, and apply it consistently. COGS hits when units ship, not when units are bought. Margin by SKU is one click away.
Yes. GST, HST, PST, and QST tracked by ship-to. For US sales we work with TaxJar or Avalara, watch nexus thresholds, and register you in each state as you cross the economic-nexus line.
Common, and handled. We support 3PL fee accounting, inventory by location, and inter-warehouse transfers. Stockouts and surplus get visible before they cost the next quarter.
For physical-product R&D that qualifies, yes. Material trials, formulation work, process improvement, and prototyping can be eligible. More on SR&ED here.
