   Reconcile sales, refunds, promotional discounts, commissions, advertising fees, reimbursements and settlement transactions from Amazon and other channels. Match collection accounts and bank receipts, investigate differences and follow through on resolution.
3. Product and store profitability analysis
   Collect purchasing, packaging, first-mile freight, warehousing, fulfillment, advertising, returns and disposal costs and expenses by brand, store, channel and SKU. Allocate them appropriately, produce profit reports and analyze unusual changes.
4. Inventory records and reconciliation
   Work with purchasing, supply-chain and warehouse colleagues to reconcile purchase receipts, bundled packaging, dispatches, goods in transit, overseas warehouses and FBA inventory. Maintain inventory records and track stocktake discrepancies, excess stock and losses.

   Track purchase deposits, final balances, sales receipts and expense payments, and prepare cash plans. Complete or coordinate tax filings, export tax exemptions and rebates, and overseas tax documentation according to the actual business and division of responsibilities, following up on progress.
7. Business support and process development
   Provide the lead with profit, expense, inventory and cash-flow analysis and flag business risks. Improve reimbursement, reconciliation, month-end closing and filing processes. Use AI to assist with data preparation and analysis, and review the outputs.
