Ecommerce Bookkeeping for Shopify, Amazon & Multi-Channel Sellers
Ecommerce bookkeeping that reconciles Shopify/Amazon payouts, maps fees/reserves, fixes inventory & COGS timing, and aligns sales tax. CPA-reviewed month-end in QuickBooks or Xero.
At a glance: Amazon/Shopify/Etsy bookkeeping • inventory & COGS (FIFO) • landed cost & freight • A2X/Webgility mapping • marketplace fee & payout reconciliation • returns/chargebacks • gift cards/store credit • sales tax nexus prep (works with Avalara/TaxJar/your CPA) • multi-channel & multi-currency • QuickBooks setup/cleanup • CPA-reviewed monthly close • flat-rate • first month free • nationwide
Ecommerce bookkeeping has to make margins real—every month. We run your books in QuickBooks or Xero with clean payout mapping (gross → fees → refunds/chargebacks → reserves = net deposit), correct inventory and COGS timing, and marketplace-facilitator sales-tax logic. We standardize SKU mapping, normalize gateways (Stripe/PayPal), and reconcile every payout to bank statements so your revenue, fees, reserves, refunds, and FX are accurate. Each month we reconcile all bank/credit/loan accounts, clear Undeposited Funds, tie AR/AP to the GL, and produce a CPA-reviewed reporting pack (P&L, Balance Sheet, AR/AP aging, cash highlights) with variance notes and a period-lock recommendation. Whether you sell on Shopify, Amazon, or a multi-channel stack, you’ll get channel-level margins you can trust—and lender-ready statements without manual patchwork.
