If COGS is wrong, your pricing and ad spend are wrong. Importers and DTC brands across Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey and Richmond often dump freight and duties into OPEX, or they recognize returns in the wrong period—both moves wreck contribution margin. The fix is simple, not easy: treat freight‑in, duties and brokerage as part of inventory, allocate them to SKUs in a rational way (quantity, weight or value), and align returns timing so COGS reflects reality.
We standardize landed cost inside an A2X → QBO/Xero stack so the math flows cleanly to your Close Pack. That’s how you get SKU/channel margins you can trust, without waiting for a year‑end cleanup. The process is repeatable: inputs by Day‑5, Close Pack on the 15th, <24‑hour replies for questions.
If you’re not sure where margin is slipping, book the Free E‑commerce Diagnostic. We’ll spot gaps in minutes and hand you a plan that works from Vancouver to Langley.
