Stop Guessing Your Real Margins. Multi-Channel E-Commerce Bookkeeping & Daily COGS.
We accurately split and reconcile Shopify, Amazon FBA, TikTok Shop, and Walmart payouts in QuickBooks Online & Xero. No more lump-sum deposit distortion, phantom profits, unmapped merchant fees, or multi-state sales tax surprises.
What Happens to a $50,000 Shopify / Amazon Deposit
Most bookkeepers just dump the net bank feed. We itemize every dollar.
Why Generalist Bookkeepers Break 2-to-8 Person E-Commerce Brands
Traditional bookkeepers treat online storefronts like local brick-and-mortar stores. In modern multi-channel retail, booking gross deposits without itemizing reserves, refunds, landed COGS, and state sales tax causes major tax overpayments and cash crunches.
1. The "Lump-Sum Deposit" Distortion
When Amazon or Shopify drops $18,400 into your checking account, inexperienced bookkeepers click "Add as Sales Revenue". In reality, that deposit hides $24,000 in gross revenue, $3,200 in Amazon FBA fees, $1,400 in customer refunds, and $1,000 in sales tax collected.
2. Landed Cost & Inventory Cash-Basis Rollercoaster
Expensing a $60,000 production purchase order on the day you pay wire transfer shows a massive fake loss in March, followed by fake 85% gross margins in April. True e-commerce accounting capitalizes inventory and recognizes Landed COGS (freight, customs, packaging) only as units ship.
3. Multi-State Sales Tax Liability Mappings
As a 2-to-8 employee brand crossing economic nexus thresholds in 20+ US states, sales tax collected by Shopify or Amazon Marketplace Facilitator is not your revenue. Double-counting tax as sales inflates your taxable business income.
4. Merchant Reserve Holdbacks & Returns
Shopify Capital advances, TikTok Shop settlement delays, and Amazon account level reserves lock away thousands in operating cash. Without a clearing account reconciliation, your bank balance will never reconcile with your P&L statement.
5. Contribution Margin (CM) & Blended ROAS Visibility
For a 2–8 person team running Meta, Google, and TikTok ads, top-line sales numbers are useless. You need exact Contribution Margin after factoring in fulfillment labor, packaging, payment processing, and ad spend per channel.

Built Specifically for 2-to-8 Person US E-Commerce Teams ($500k – $8M GMV)
When you're doing $500k to $8M in annual e-commerce volume with a lean core team (founders, ops coordinator, marketing lead, warehouse tech/3PL liaison), you've outgrown DIY Google Sheets, but don't need a $180,000 in-house CFO.

Real Multi-Channel Cleanups for US Online Brands
Here is how we transformed financial visibility for 2-to-8 employee brands across the United States.
Apparel & Accessories Brand (Shopify + Amazon FBA)
Problem: Their prior bookkeeper expensed $120,000 bulk garment manufacturing runs immediately and dumped Amazon FBA net payouts into "Uncategorized Income", masking $38,000 in return fees.
Health & Wellness Brand (TikTok Shop + Shopify + 3PL)
Problem: Rapid scaling on TikTok Shop and affiliate commissions created total chaos with delayed settlement cycles and double-counted shipping subsidies.
Home Decor Brand (Shopify + Wholesale B2B)
Problem: Blended Stripe payments with Faire wholesale deposits and PayPal checkout fees, making it impossible to know true DTC vs B2B profitability.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our specialized e-commerce bookkeeping services for 2-to-8 employee US businesses.
Do you work with both QuickBooks Online and Xero?
Yes. We are certified ProAdvisors in both QuickBooks Online and Xero. We integrate directly with Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, TikTok Shop, PayPal, Stripe, and A2X to maintain pristine accrual records in whichever ledger you prefer.
Why is your service limited to 2-to-8 employee US businesses?
Focus creates mastery. 2-to-8 employee US online retail teams have distinct accounting requirements: multi-channel payout reconciliation, landed COGS, 3PL inventory handling, multi-state sales tax compliance, and payroll allocations across core staff. By specializing exclusively in this band, our workflows are tailored directly to your scale.
How do you handle multi-state sales tax nexus (Shopify Tax / TaxJar / Avalara)?
We ensure sales tax collected is mapped to a dedicated liability account on your balance sheet so it never falsely inflates your top-line gross revenue. We reconcile Marketplace Facilitator tax remittances against your state reporting platforms.
