Cin7 implementer, bookkeeper, CPA, inventory accountant. Product businesses often assume they need all four or cannot tell where one ends and the next begins. Here is what each actually does.
Need the system set up? That is the Cin7 implementor. Workflows, integrations, product mapping. They build the engine, then move on after go-live.
Need clean records? That is the bookkeeper. Reconciliations, bills, payroll. Essential, but backward-looking, and usually not touching landed cost or how COGS posts.
Need tax and compliance handled? That is the CPA. Strongest at year-end, not reconciling inventory to the P&L every month.
Need to know if the margins are actually real? That is the inventory accountant, where landed cost, stock valuation, and COGS decide whether gross margin is truth or fiction.
Most product businesses have the first three and miss the fourth. That is usually why profit and cash still disagree.
Which one is your business missing?

Five versions of reality for the same product.
If this happens often, your systems might be working against each other.
VNC Global helps businesses connect their systems, so there's one source of truth instead of five different versions.

ISM's 2026 Supply Chain Planning Forecast puts two things side by side.
Demand looks strong: manufacturing revenue is forecast up 8.4%, services up 8.6%, and 14 of 18 manufacturing industries expect to grow.
But input prices are forecast to rise too: raw materials up 14.1%, services prices up 8.9%.
For anyone holding stock, that's the classic tension. Buy ahead and beat the price increases, or hold back and avoid overstocking into demand you can't fully bank on yet.
We don't think there's one right answer. There's the right answer for your numbers, your lead times, and your cash position.
How are you thinking about it this year? ๐

Tag a manufacturer still fixing inventory numbers in a spreadsheet.
Been in this exact conversation before?
Most Manufacturers we speak to in the US and UK say their inventory is reconciled.
Then we ask how.
Spreadsheet fixed manually by someone who may not even be around next month. That's not a process. That's a patch.
We sort this inside whatever system you're already running Cin7, Business Central, wherever your stock lives.
Clean numbers every month, before month ends.

Be honest. How many hours did your team spend last week on receipts, payroll and manual data entry? ๐
For most manufacturers and distributors the answer is somewhere between 15 and 20 hours. Every week. Without fail.
Payments by hand: 4 to 6 hours gone. ๐ Receipts chased and entered: 5 to 7 hours gone. ๐งพ Payroll errors tracked down: 6 to 7 hours gone. โฑ๏ธ
These are not small numbers. And they are not inevitable.
Xero automation takes all of it off your plate. Bills in automatically. Receipts captured on the go. Timesheets synced without anyone touching them. 20 hours back every week with numbers you can actually trust.
The setup is simpler than most people expect. If you want to see what it looks like for your specific business, that is exactly what our advisory session is for.

Walk into any well-run warehouse and everything has a place.
Shelf 1: Fast-moving stock.
Shelf 2: Raw materials.
Shelf 3: Finished goods.
Shelf 4: Returns. Every SKU, every location accounted for.
But ask the same business to show you their COGS, landed costs, or reorder points in their accounting system?
Blank stares.
The warehouse is organized. The numbers behind it aren't.
That's the gap we close.
At VNC Global, we help US and UK Manufacturers and Distributors get their inventory and accounting talking to each other so every decision you make is backed by live, accurate data.
Not last month's guess. If your stock is organised but your books aren't, it's time we talked.

The Strait of Hormuz has been closed since February 28, 2026. And your cost of goods sold just changed.
Ships are rerouting 3,500 extra nautical miles. That is over $1M in extra fuel cost per voyage. War-risk insurance is up 5x. Some insurers have pulled out entirely.
Every one of those costs flows directly into your landed cost. And if your inventory and accounting are not updated to reflect it, you are making pricing decisions based on numbers that no longer exist. ๐
Three things to do this week:
โ
Call your freight forwarder. Get updated estimates for every active PO.
โ
Update your COGS in Cin7. Reflect new freight and insurance costs now.
โ
Run a margin report. Compare the last 30 days to the prior 90.
VNC Global helps US manufacturers and distributors keep inventory and accounting aligned so a supply shock does not become a margin disaster.

Most manufacturers we work with across the US and UK run incredibly tight operations. Lean teams. Efficient lines. Smart procurement. Then we ask about the books.
Messy books don't just stress your accountant.
-They freeze capital decisions.
-They hide margin erosion.
-They delay board sign-off.
Monthly bookkeeping isn't an admin task.
It's how a manufacturing business stays in control.
โ
Always clean.
โ
Always current.
That's how we keep it for our clients every month, inside their existing

"My books are fine." every business owner, right before inventory chaos hits.
There's a big difference between a bookkeeper and an inventory specialist bookkeeper. One tracks your money. The other tracks where it's quietly disappearing.
Do you think your regular bookkeeper can handle it all?
