For Retail Owners
Boutiques, supply stores, shops, and sellers who move product in person and online. Inventory, sales tax, staff, and seasonality make retail returns genuinely complex. We handle the complexity so you can handle the floor.
Cost of goods. Shrink. Sales tax collected across the counter and the web. Seasonal staff. A slow February funding a strong December. The register can be busy while the business quietly loses ground, and the return is where it all has to reconcile.
Busy is not the same as profitable. The numbers know the difference.
Sumvera keeps the whole picture current. Inventory and COGS done right. Sales tax filed on time, every time. Books that match the POS. And a strategy that plans for the seasonality instead of being surprised by it.
Every item below comes up in your industry constantly. If it's on this list, we've planned for it.
Beginning inventory, purchases, shrink, ending count. COGS done correctly is the difference between a real profit number and a guess.
Sales tax in every state you sell into, in-store and online, collected right, filed on schedule, and reconciled so a notice never starts the conversation.
Square, Shopify, Clover. We make the books match the register so your reports mean something and tax season starts clean.
W-2 employees, seasonal help, and the 1099 rules around both. Structured correctly from the first hire.
We plan the year around your actual rhythm, so the strong season funds the slow one on purpose, not by accident.
At the right profit level an S-corp election saves real money. We run your numbers and give you a straight answer.
Unfiled years, back taxes, notices, audits. It's more common than anyone admits out loud, and it's fixable. As a federally licensed Enrolled Agent, we represent you directly before the IRS and handle it start to finish. No judgment. Just resolution, then a plan so it doesn't happen again.

Your ending inventory count directly changes your taxable profit. We set up a simple year-end count process and make sure COGS is calculated correctly on the return.
It's a fixable one, and common. We reconcile the POS to the books, clean up the history, and set a monthly rhythm so it stays matched.
