Who we are

More than bookkeeping — an operations partner.

Ready to Count is a professional accounting and business management company that helps small retail businesses organize, monitor, and grow their operations. Rather than providing only bookkeeping, we act as an outsourced financial controller and business operations partner.

Our goal is to take the weight off the owner — accounting, inventory management, financial monitoring, fraud prevention, reporting, payroll, and operational control are all handled professionally, so you can focus on running and growing the business.

How an engagement works
Step — 01

Count & barcode everything

A full physical inventory count. Every product recorded, barcoded, labeled, and organized in the system.

Step — 02

Set up the system

Accounting software configured to your business — accounts, roles, locked-down permissions, and staff training.

Step — 03

Visit, verify, protect

Scheduled on-site visits: fraud checks, inventory counts, cash verification, and expense review.

Step — 04

Report & track capital

A comprehensive management report every month — and your true working capital tracked period over period.

The catalog

Ten services. One organized business.

Everything we count, check, and control — from the first barcode to long-term capital tracking.

01

Inventory Setup & Digital Transformation

Every new client begins with a complete inventory implementation — the foundation everything else is built on.

  • Full physical inventory count of the entire store
  • Every product recorded in the accounting software
  • Missing barcodes created directly from the system
  • Barcode labels printed and attached to products
  • Inventory database organized for fast, accurate sales

Recorded for every product

Product nameModel numberBarcodeColor SizeQuantityCost priceSelling price

The result: your business moves from manual inventory management to a fully organized, barcode-based system.

02

Accounting System Setup

The accounting software is fully configured around your business — with security and fraud prevention built in from day one.

  • Employee accounts created
  • User roles defined
  • Permissions configured per job
  • Operational workflows set
  • Employees trained on correct software use

Locked down by default

  • No invoice deletion
  • No invoice editing
  • Restricted inventory modification
  • Controlled discount permissions
  • Limited administrative access

Employees only get the permissions their job requires — significantly reducing opportunities for theft and accounting manipulation.

03

Fraud Prevention & Internal Control Core protection

A major part of our work is protecting owners from financial losses and employee fraud. On every scheduled visit, we run a full control check:

  • Verify no unauthorized system logins
  • Check that no invoices were deleted
  • Check that no invoices were edited
  • Review all customer discounts given
  • Flag unusually high discount percentages
  • Monitor inventory adjustments
  • Detect unauthorized quantity modifications
  • Review all expenses entered in the system
  • Identify unusual or suspicious transactions
  • Verify owner withdrawals with the owner directly
  • Detect possible cash theft or manipulation
  • Review system activity logs where applicable

The objective: complete financial transparency and accountability.

04

Inventory Control

Inventory accuracy is monitored continuously, with stock counts scheduled monthly according to your package.

  • Physical quantities compared against the system
  • Missing items identified
  • Discrepancies investigated
  • Accountability procedures applied per your internal policy

Regular inventory control greatly reduces shrinkage and theft.

05

Cash Register & Cash Flow Verification Higher-tier plans

For clients who need closer supervision, we verify the register daily — cash in the drawer versus cash in the books.

  • Physical cash counted in the register
  • Compared against accounting system balances
  • Shortages and overages detected
  • Manipulation or recording errors identified
  • Daily sales verified against collected cash

Available in higher-tier packages that include frequent visits.

06

Your business is watched throughout the month — not just at closing time.

  • Sales performance
  • Revenue tracking
  • Gross profit analysis
  • Expense monitoring
  • Purchase review
  • Supplier transactions
  • Profitability analysis
  • Cash flow review
  • Owner withdrawals
  • Financial trends

Owners receive ongoing insight into their company's financial health — all month long.

Capital Monitoring Signature service

One of our unique services: at the start of the engagement we calculate your business's true working capital — then recalculate and compare it every month.

Month over month, this reveals whether

  • The business is growing
  • Profits are being retained
  • Capital is decreasing unexpectedly
  • Financial losses exist
  • Possible theft or financial leakage is occurring

Capital monitoring is your long-term financial health indicator.
