Ecommerce bookkeeping and accounting, built for how you sell

For ecommerce brands doing $500K to $10M, I reconcile every channel and settlement, roll landed cost into COGS, and hand you a channel-level P&L you can run the business on. Set up in QuickBooks or Xero, and kept accurate month to month.

What ecommerce accounting has to get right

Ecommerce books come down to a handful of things that have to be right. These are the ones I build around.

Settlements reconciled in full

Amazon and Shopify pay you net of fees, returns, and reserves. I reconcile every settlement to its detail so gross sales, fees, and refunds land in the right accounts.

Landed-cost COGS

Freight, duty, tariffs, and 3PL costs roll into inventory and capitalize with the goods. They release as each unit sells, so gross margin reflects what the products truly cost.

Channel-level P&L

DTC, Amazon, and wholesale are tagged from day one. You read profit by channel in one click, so you see which one carries the business.

Every processor tied out

Shopify Payments, PayPal, Stripe, and Amazon each reconcile to the bank deposit line. Refunds and chargebacks land in the right period, so your cash always ties to your books.

FBA fees coded correctly

Fulfillment, storage, long-term, and reimbursement lines each map to the right accounts. Your reports stay reliable month to month, so a fee change or new surcharge shows up before it quietly eats your margin.

Sales tax nexus watched

I track where you cross economic nexus and set up automated filing, or bring in a specialist partner. Returns get handled the moment you owe them, before penalties stack up.

What a monthly close puts on your desk

The books close on a set day, and the read on your business stays close at hand.

Set close date

Books closed on a set day every month, so numbers are ready when you need them.

Channel P&L

Profit by channel, plus a clean P&L and balance sheet built for how you sell.

Landed-cost COGS

Gross margin that includes freight, duty, and 3PL, so it holds up to scrutiny.

How we start

A short path from first call to a clear read on your business.

I connect your QuickBooks or Xero through my accountant suite, link A2X, and set the chart of accounts and channel mapping. You hand it over one time and step back.

Who does the work

Merchant Sheets is my finance practice for ecommerce operators, and I keep your books myself, from setup through every monthly close. You work with me directly, not a rotating offshore team.

I’m a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor and Xero partner, A2X certified, and I hold the FMVA and FPAP designations from the Corporate Finance Institute.

Clean books are the foundation for everything forward-looking, so when you’re ready for it, the same data feeds straight into fractional CFO support.

Start with a books diagnostic

A 30-minute look at your current setup, where the gaps are, and what a clean month looks like. Book a call to see if it fits.

Credentials behind the work

Certified on the platforms your books run on, and trained in the financial modeling underneath.

Common questions

Weighing your options? A 30-minute diagnostic is the fastest way to know if it fits.

How much does ecommerce bookkeeping cost?

Monthly bookkeeping and close runs from $750 a month for a single channel up to about $5,000 for full multi-channel and wholesale, priced by channels and volume. A one-time setup starts at $1,500, and cleanup is quoted against your backlog.

Do you work in QuickBooks or Xero?

Both. I’m a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor and a certified Xero partner, so you stay on the platform you prefer, set up with an ecommerce chart of accounts either way.

What is A2X and do I need it?

A2X pulls your Amazon and Shopify settlement data into clean journal entries so gross sales, fees, and refunds reconcile to the bank. For a multi-channel brand it saves hours each month and keeps COGS accurate, and I’m A2X certified to set it up right.

Do you handle sales tax?

I track where you cross economic nexus and flag when you need to register. Filing runs through an automated solution like Numeral, or a recommendation for specialist sales-tax partner, so it’s handled without you touching it.

Can you clean up books that are behind?

Yes. Cleanup is a fixed-fee project scoped to your backlog. I catch you up to an audit-ready baseline, then move you into monthly close.

How is bookkeeping different from a fractional CFO?

Bookkeeping records and reconciles what happened. Fractional CFO work takes those numbers and decides what to do next: pricing, inventory, spend, and cash. Clean books make the CFO work sharper, and I offer both.
