For Finance / CFO Teams

Give finance cleaner retail data before it reaches the close.

IMV helps finance teams see how store activity, inventory movement, orders, tenders, returns, tax, COGS, and entity structure affect the books.

Finance teams inherit retail mess when operations and accounting are disconnected.

Close quality suffers when sales, tenders, returns, inventory adjustments, taxes, entity rules, and channel fees are cleaned up after the fact.

IMV approach

Embed finance context into retail workflows so accounting data is cleaner before export, reconciliation, or consolidation.

Late reconciliation

Finance discovers tender, refund, tax, and settlement issues after stores have moved on.

Inventory accounting gaps

Adjustments, transfers, shrink, returns, and COGS impact are not always traceable.

Entity confusion

Stores, channels, and subsidiaries need clean mapping for close and reporting.

Margin opacity

Discounts, fees, fulfillment cost, returns, and markdowns can hide true margin.

Finance model

Connect retail events to accounting outcomes.

Finance does not need to run the store, but the store needs to produce finance-ready data.

Daily close

Cash, card, wallet, gift card, refunds, fees, deposits, and register exceptions.

COGS and inventory

Stock movement, adjustments, shrink, returns, transfers, and receipt cost impact.

Entity and tax

Jurisdiction, legal entity, channel, store, and tax treatment embedded in transactions.

Audit-ready reports

Trace source event, owner, adjustment reason, approval, and downstream posting.

Finance workflow

From transaction event to close-ready package.

The close improves when operational exceptions are resolved close to the work.

1

Capture event

Preserve store, channel, tender, tax, item, customer, entity, and fulfillment context.

2

Validate controls

Detect mismatches, missing data, policy exceptions, and approval needs early.

3

Route exceptions

Assign store, operations, inventory, ecommerce, or finance owners before period close.

4

Export cleanly

Send summaries, journals, detail, and audit evidence to accounting or ERP systems.

Finance governance

Reduce close risk by controlling the source events.

Finance controls are strongest when they are enforced before transactions become cleanup work.

Approval rules

Require approval for voids, discounts, returns, cash changes, adjustments, and overrides.

Audit trail

Track who changed what, why, and which downstream accounting record was affected.

Reconciliation queues

Group exceptions by store, entity, tender, tax, item, channel, and owner.

Export controls

Validate posting packages before ERP, GL, or consolidation handoff.
