Retail & Ecommerce
Ecommerce Bookkeeping Services for Online and Retail Sellers
Selling online means orders, payouts, fees and refunds flowing in from several places at once. We help ecommerce and retail sellers turn that activity into organized books in QuickBooks Online.

The challenge
Why payouts never match sales
A marketplace or payment platform deposit is rarely the same as your sales. It's sales minus fees, refunds, shipping labels and sometimes reserves, often grouped across many orders.
Recording only what hits the bank understates revenue and hides what selling actually costs. Reconciling payouts back to sales gives you the real picture.
What we handle
What we track for online sellers
Bookkeeping built around online and retail sales.
Online sales reconciliation
Sales reports from your store and marketplaces matched to the payouts that follow.
Processor deposits and fees
Payment processor deposits recorded with fees shown separately.
Marketplace fees
Selling, listing and fulfillment fees categorized so channel costs are visible.
Refunds and returns
Refunds recorded against sales so revenue reflects what you kept.
Inventory and cost of goods sold
Where your setup supports it, product costs recorded as cost of goods sold based on the information you provide.
Sales tax liability
Sales tax collected recorded as a liability. Filing returns stays with you or your tax professional.
Accounts payable
Supplier and manufacturer bills tracked so payments are on time.
Monthly financial statements
Profit and loss and balance sheet reports from reconciled accounts.
Gross versus net
Recording the full sale, not just the deposit
Good ecommerce bookkeeping starts with gross sales, then records fees, refunds and other deductions on their own lines. That way your reports show both what customers paid and what it cost you to sell.
We work from the reports your sales channels provide and confirm during onboarding which reports we need from each one.
