Where brands lose visibility
Growth looks healthy until cash, margin, and inventory move in different directions.
D2C finance becomes complex because every channel has different fees, discounting, return behaviour, settlement cycles, and tax trails. We help convert that complexity into operating decisions.
Cash conversion
Plan for supplier payments, settlement delays, inventory buys, ad spends, fulfilment costs, and GST outflows before they squeeze runway.
Inventory discipline
Track SKU-level ageing, stock cover, landed cost, slow movers, write-offs, reorder timing, and the cash locked in inventory.
Promotions and returns
Understand which campaigns actually create value after discounts, returns, replacements, chargebacks, and logistics leakages.
GST and reconciliation
Build cleaner settlement matching, input credit tracking, e-way bill alignment, sales return controls, and audit-ready documentation.
Investor readiness
Prepare clean MIS, cohort views, unit economics, budgets, projections, diligence files, and board-level reporting for capital conversations.
