QuickBooks Historical Inventory Reconciliation Specialist

We are seeking an experienced QuickBooks Online Inventory Accounting Specialist to perform a historical inventory reconciliation for a Canadian company that purchases bulk raw materials and converts them into finished products.

The company uses Salesforce for operational inventory and sales, QuickBooks Online for accounting, and receives separate Amazon FBA inventory reports.

Historical inventory quantity adjustments were used to correct finished-goods SKUs showing negative quantities in QBO. We need an independent specialist to determine whether the QBO Inventory Asset balance is supported by the inventory subledger and actual inventory records.

Review historical Inventory Quantity Adjustments and Inventory Shrinkage activity.
Analyze year-end inventory journal entries for 2024, 2025 and 2026.
Investigate an unreconciled historical Inventory Shrinkage balance.
Determine whether direct journal entries caused differences between the General Ledger and inventory subledger.
Reconcile QBO to Salesforce, physical counts and Amazon FBA reports.
Review the accounting flow from bulk raw materials to finished goods.
Identify negative inventory, timing, costing and unit-of-measure issues.
Recommend corrections without posting or modifying transactions.
Design a documented monthly inventory reconciliation process.

Required experience:

Advanced QuickBooks Online inventory accounting.
Inventory subledger-to-General-Ledger reconciliations.
Negative inventory and FIFO costing.
Manufacturing or production inventory workflows.
Inventory quantity adjustments and year-end true-ups.
Experience reconciling inventory across multiple systems.

No transactions may be created, edited, deleted or posted.
All proposed adjustments require written approval.
All company information must remain confidential.
