INDUSTRY · OMNICHANNEL & RETAIL

Finance for brands that sell everywhere.

Fractional CFO and exit-prep for $15M–$250M omnichannel retailers running DTC, wholesale, retail and marketplace channels in parallel. The operating complexity that emerges when a brand stops looking like a website and starts looking like a business — channel-by-channel margin, inventory positioning across pools, cross-channel attribution.

01 / What matters here

The work that actually moves the P&L.

Sector-specific. Every omnichannel & retail engagement is built around these levers, not a generic CFO playbook.

01

Channel margin reality

Each channel has its own economics. The roll-up only matters if the channels are modeled honestly first.

02

Inventory positioning across channels

How much, where, in what form. Three-channel brands often hold 40% too much inventory.

03

Retail store unit economics

Four-wall, contribution margin, payback. The discipline that DTC-first brands often skip when they open stores.

04

Wholesale receivables management

AR aging that does not surprise the cash position. Discounting policy that does not erode margin.

05

Marketplace economics

Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart Marketplace — fee stacks, return treatment, attribution.

06

Cross-channel attribution

When the website sells the store and the store sells Instagram, which one gets credit?

FAQ.

When does a DTC brand cross over into omnichannel?

When more than one channel hits 15% of revenue. That is usually when the finance complexity starts to bite.

Does Putra & Co help with the physical-retail decision?

Yes — the four-wall model, store-rollout sequencing, and reverse-decision criteria are common engagements.

What about marketplaces beyond Amazon?

TikTok Shop, Walmart, Meta Shop, eBay where relevant. Each has its own economics — we model them separately.

Who leads omnichannel engagements?

Matt Putra. The consumer practice handles DTC, CPG and omnichannel as one bench.

Does this work in Australia / UK?

Yes. Sam Dillon leads APAC, partners handle UK out of London.
