What Is The Number One Secret of Success for DTC businesses?
Good data - especially financial data
Sales, COGS, product gross margins, customer profitability, inventory, financial statements, investor reporting, sales forecasting, cash forecasting, inventory forecasting and sales tax nexus monitoring are just a few of the critical data that power the business.
It’s a challenge for any business, but especially so for DTC businesses when you have online sales, marketplace sales, wholesale and distributor channels, and even in-person sales to manage.
Creating and maintaining financial systems to power your success is what we do!
