Audits come fast, and the last thing you want is a scramble for numbers. Staying liquor store audit-ready means your sales, tax, and inventory data are already organized and accurate. With the right system, you don’t waste time pulling reports by hand or correcting mistakes under pressure.
At Cheers POS, we designed our tools to simplify the process. Every transaction, report, and tax summary is captured in real time, so when an audit comes, your records are complete and ready to share.
Why Liquor Store Audit Readiness Matters
Being prepared for audits isn’t just about checking a box for compliance. It affects your taxes, your profits, and the way you plan for growth. When you’re liquor store audit-ready, you:
- Avoid overpaying for capital gains due to excess inventory
- Respond faster to state reporting requests
- Give your accountant clean, complete data
- Understand how your business is performing month over month
And most importantly, you gain peace of mind knowing your records are always just a few clicks away.
Monthly Inventory Reporting Built In
Start and End Inventory Values Made Simple
Inside Cheers POS, we’ve made it easy to access inventory values at both the start and end of each month. You can see where your inventory stands before your accountant even asks. This helps you avoid keeping too much stock on hand, which can trigger higher taxes or reduce your working capital. If you notice inventory is running high, you can take action before the quarter closes.
You don’t have to guess where you stood three months ago. Our system gives you a visual timeline of your inventory value across the year, so you can track trends and adjust purchasing accordingly.
Downloadable Reports for Every Filing
One of the most common challenges during an audit is collecting and formatting all the right paperwork. Cheers POS makes this easy. You can print or export your inventory valuation, sales summaries, and tax details at the end of each month, no handwriting or manual entry required.
Reports are exportable in CSV or PDF format, and you can organize them by:
- Date range
- Product category
- Department
- Item format
This flexibility allows you to meet the unique requirements of your accountant, the state, or any internal review process.
Automatic Tax and Sales Summaries
No More Handwritten State Reports
Your wholesale and on-premise sales reports are ready at the click of a button. At the end of each month, Cheers POS calculates and compiles totals that reflect exactly what the state needs to see: how much product was sold, and how much tax was collected. This removes the need to tally numbers manually or create separate spreadsheets.
You can even print out a full summary for the entire month, showing line-by-line sales details along with totals for easy state submission.
Filters That Work for You
Every report you generate in Cheers comes with filters that let you organize data the way you need it. Whether you’re reviewing a specific product line, isolating a time frame, or pulling year-end totals for your accountant, you control the layout. This makes it far easier to stay liquor store audit-ready without having to recreate or edit reports later.

Cheers POS isn’t just about helping you run sales. It’s about helping you manage what’s behind those sales, your inventory.

This insight helps you make smarter ordering decisions and prepare better financial reports.
