E-commerce Accounting (Amazon, Shopify, Stripe)

Overview

What we deliver

We reconcile marketplace payouts, track sales tax, and produce clean financials so online sellers see real margins by channel and SKU.

We handle the full accounting cycle for e-commerce sellers operating on Amazon, Shopify, Stripe, eBay, Walmart, Etsy, and multi-channel stacks. Our team reconciles gross sales, refunds, marketplace fees, advertising charges, gift cards, and chargebacks against bank deposits so the numbers in your books match the cash that hits your account. We post inventory and cost of goods sold using weighted average or FIFO under US GAAP or IFRS, support state-by-state sales tax compliance, and prepare schedules for VAT in the UK and GST in Canada and Australia. Monthly financials include channel-level profit and loss, contribution margin by SKU, and working capital views that connect inventory, payables, and merchant holdbacks. Founders and finance leads get a clean close, audit-ready records, and the visibility needed to decide on ad spend, pricing, and stock buys with confidence.

Client stories

What clients say

"

We had 14 cornerstone pages stuck on page two for 18 months. Their SEO crew rewrote the internal linking, cleaned up our schema, and shipped 22 supporting briefs over a quarter. Eight of those pages broke top three by month five. Organic pipeline went from a trickle to our second-largest source. Felt like watching interest compound.

Our LCP was 4.8 seconds and Google was punishing us for it. They audited the build, dumped two plugins we did not need, moved hero images to a real CDN, and rewrote the critical CSS. LCP came down to 1.6 seconds within three weeks. Bounce rate on the pricing page dropped by a quarter without us touching the copy.
