Ecommerce Accounting Services For Growing Businesses
Finally know your numbers . Expert and accurate bookkeeping and financial services for ecommerce business owners who are ready to stop winging it.
Running an ecommerce business means your finances are more complex than most accountants are experienced with. Multiple platforms, payment processors, inventory, and sales tax across state lines can cause complexity.
Without someone who truly understands your world, things slip through the cracks or end up being just plain wrong.
You don’t need a financial or compliance nightmare. You need a specialist who understands your industry. That's where I come in.
Services
-
Ecommerce bookkeeping isn't like general bookkeeping. Multiple sales channels, payment processors, platform fees, and chargebacks create complexity that most bookkeepers aren't equipped to handle accurately.
This includes:
Monthly transaction categorization and reconciliation
Sales channel and payment processor reconciliation (Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, PayPal, Stripe, Square and more)
Monthly P&L and Balance Sheet
QBO file maintenance
Annual 1099 and W9 management throughout the year
-
Knowing your revenue is one thing. Understanding what's actually driving your profit, where your cash is going, and what decisions to make next is another. Most ecommerce business owners are making growth decisions based on gut feeling rather than real financial data.
This includes:
Monthly financial strategy meeting
Cash flow forecasting and monitoring
KPI tracking and reporting
Profit margin analysis by product or channel
Financial goal setting and progress tracking
Strategic advice on pricing, expenses, and growth decisions
-
Sales tax compliance for ecommerce businesses is one of the most complex and overlooked areas of running an online business. Since the 2018 Wayfair ruling, online sellers have nexus obligations in states where they may never have set foot. Get it wrong and you're looking at penalties, back taxes, and a compliance nightmare.
This includes:
Nexus analysis to determine where you have filing obligations
Multi-state sales tax registration
Sales tax tool setup and integration (TaxJar, Avalara, or similar)
Ongoing nexus monitoring as your business grows
Guidance on voluntary disclosure agreements (VDAs) if you have past exposure
-
Inventory is where ecommerce bookkeeping gets complicated fast. Without accurate tracking your COGS is wrong, your profit margins are wrong, and every financial decision you make is based on bad data. Most bookkeepers avoid inventory work entirely — or don't know enough to do it right.
This includes:
COGS tracking and reconciliation
Inventory valuation and reporting
Integration with your inventory management system
Month end inventory reconciliation
Coordination with your sales channels for accurate cost data
Identifying shrinkage, write-offs, and adjustments
