Bookkeeping for Shopify & Amazon Sellers
Your marketplace fees shouldn't be a black hole. I specialize in multi-channel e-commerce reconciliation for Shopify, Amazon, and eBay sellers.
The Problems Nobody Tells You About
Amazon charges 7+ distinct fee types per order. Referral fees, FBA fulfillment, storage, PPC advertising, removal fees, return processing, and subscription fees. If your bookkeeper lumps them into one "Amazon Fees" line, your biggest controllable expenses are invisible. You can't calculate your true advertising cost of sale when your $40K in ad spend is buried.
You're paying taxes on revenue that doesn't exist. Refunds, discounts, and chargebacks inflate your top line by 3-5%. On $1.5M in annual sales, that's $45K-$75K in revenue you never collected — but you're still paying taxes on it. At a 25% effective rate, that's $11K-$22K a year you're handing the IRS for nothing.
Shopify processing fees often don't appear as an expense at all. At 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction, you're looking at roughly $36,000/year on $100K/month in sales. Your profit is overstated by that entire amount.
Buying inventory in bulk and expensing it all at once? Your P&L shows a massive loss in January and inflated profits for the next 5 months. Q1 margin shows 12%, Q3 shows 68%. Neither is real. Your actual blended margin is about 42%.
You're selling on 3 platforms but have no idea which one is actually profitable. Revenue is growing, but after fees, shipping, returns, and ad spend, one of your channels might be breaking even or losing money. If you can't see profitability by channel, you're scaling the wrong thing.
You bought $30K of inventory in January. When can you buy more? Without a cash flow model built around your actual sales velocity, you don't know when you can afford your next purchase order, your next hire, or your next ad spend increase. Most sellers make these decisions on gut feel. That works until it doesn't.
Shipping to 20+ states through Shopify? You likely have sales tax nexus in states where you aren't collecting. That's an exposure that grows every month you ignore it.

Common E-Commerce Questions
What platforms do you work with?
Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, eBay, Walmart Marketplace, Etsy, and Wayfair. I also pull data from payment processors like Stripe, PayPal, and Square. If you're on a platform I haven't listed, ask — I've probably worked with it or can learn it quickly.
My books are a year (or more) behind. Can you fix that?
Yes. Most e-commerce engagements start with a backlog. I'll do a full cleanup first — reconcile every account, categorize every transaction, separate every fee — and get you current. I've untangled 35,000+ transactions across multiple platforms in a single engagement. Once the cleanup is done, we move into the monthly service.
How do you handle inventory and COGS?
I track cost of goods sold based on your actual purchasing patterns, not a one-time lump entry. That means your monthly margins reflect reality, not timing distortions from bulk inventory purchases. If you're manufacturing or sourcing internationally, I'll set up tracking that accounts for landed cost, duties, and freight.
Will you work with my CPA at tax time?
Yes. Your books will be clean, reconciled, and ready to hand off. I'll coordinate directly with your CPA to make sure they have everything they need, including marketplace-specific documentation. No scramble, no surprises.
