It's 11:47 PM
The shop is closed
Dinner is cold
And you're still staring at an Excel file that's lying to you
The formulas are green
The numbers look right.
But your inventory total?
It changes every time you calculate it
Stock sitting across three different sheets
Thousands of dollars you can't account for
Cash disappearing
That's not just data frustration.
That's cash trapped in confusion.
Here's what most accountants won't tell you:
You don't need fancy software to fix this...
You need someone who speaks both Excel AND inventory
Last week, I found $47k in "ghost inventory" for a client using three Excel files just like yours.
He was shocked.
Excel had been misleading him for months, and $47k was the difference between hitting his revenue target and missing it.
Most small business owners don't realize that their spreadsheet might be hiding thousands of dollars in silent inventory, sitting on shelves, eating up capital, and stealing your peace of mind.
That's why I built the Inventory Money Map.
To turn those late-night Excel headaches into clarity you can act on, and infact you can predict down the road!
Because your time and your sanity are worth more than a broken formula.
