The Problem
Three places where the
financial picture breaks

Marketplace commerce generates financial data faster than most operations can reconcile it. The numbers exist. Turning them into the truth is the work.

01

Payouts that never reconcile to the ledger

A marketplace deposit arrives as a single net number, after dozens of fee types, refunds, reserves, and currency conversions have already been applied. Booked as one lump sum, it hides what was actually earned and what was actually charged. Revenue and fees become estimates instead of facts.

02

COGS that ignores the cost of getting the goods here

When freight, duty, tariffs, currency conversion, and inbound handling are left out of unit cost, every margin number reads higher than reality. Pricing and reorder decisions made on that inflated number quietly erode profit on the products that look most healthy.

03

Cash visibility that stops at today's balance

A multi-entity, multi-currency operation cannot run on a bank-balance snapshot. Money is in transit, held in reserves, owed to suppliers, and committed to open purchase orders. Without a forward view, cash decisions are made blind.

The Work
One financial system
across every entity and channel.

Bookkeeping, settlements, landed cost, and cash flow are not four separate tools. They are one connected system, and ARIA runs it.

01 / Bookkeeping

Multi-Entity Bookkeeping & Consolidation

The books for each legal entity kept current: journals posted, accounts reconciled, and the full group consolidated into one view. One chart of accounts, every entity, a single source of financial truth rather than a folder of disconnected files.

02 / Settlements

Marketplace Settlement Reconciliation

Settlement data pulled directly from each channel's finance API across regions and currencies, then reconciled line by line to orders, fees, refunds, and FX. Summary journals are posted to the ledger automatically, with the underlying detail preserved beneath them.

03 / Landed Cost

Landed Cost & Margin Engine

Supplier price, freight, duty, currency conversion, and inbound and fulfillment fees loaded into a true per-unit landed cost. Contribution margin reported by SKU and by channel, so pricing decisions stand on the real number, not the convenient one.

04 / Cash Flow

Rolling Cash-Flow Forecast

A forward cash view built from current balances, pending and unsettled payouts, held reserves, open purchase-order obligations, and fixed costs. Cash questions get answered before they become cash problems.

How It Works
Connect the sources.
Reconcile the truth. Report it forward.

We start from the financial data the business already generates and build the system that turns it into reliable, current, forward-looking numbers.

01

Connect the Sources

The accounting ledger, the banking feed, and every marketplace finance API are connected into one warehouse. Nothing gets keyed in by hand that an API can deliver, which removes the most common source of financial error.

02

Reconcile & Structure

Automated reconciliation matches every payout to its underlying orders, fees, and refunds. Landed cost is loaded against every unit. The result is a single structured record of financial truth, not a pile of exports waiting to be assembled.

03

Report & Forecast

Margin by SKU and channel, consolidated entity reporting, and a rolling cash-flow forecast delivered on a defined cadence. The numbers are current because the system keeps them current, not because someone rebuilt them this week.

What You Get
Numbers you can act on.
Current, reconciled, and forward-looking.

Every deliverable is built to stay accurate on its own cadence, not to be rebuilt by hand at the end of each month.

Each entity's books kept current and rolled up into one group view.
