Inventory accountants are responsible for tracking and managing the inventory of a company. They commonly work with physical goods such as raw materials, finished products, or other supplies that are used to create a product or service.
Inventory accountants use their knowledge of accounting principles to ensure that all transactions related to inventory are properly recorded in an organization’s financial records. This includes recording purchases of new inventory items, receiving these items into inventory storage areas, moving them to production areas when needed, and finally disposing of them when they become obsolete.
