More About Us
| Why does my e-commerce business need a specialized bookkeeper?
E-commerce businesses have unique accounting challenges including multiple sales channels, payment processors, inventory management, sales tax obligations, and platform fees. A specialized bookkeeper understands how to accurately track and reconcile these transactions.
| How often should my books be updated?
Most e-commerce businesses should have their books updated monthly at a minimum. High-volume stores may benefit from weekly bookkeeping to maintain accurate cash flow visibility and inventory reporting.
| Why doesn't my Shopify sales total match the deposits in my bank account?
This is one of the most common questions. Deposits are typically reduced by:
-
Payment processing fees
-
Refunds
-
Chargebacks
-
Platform fees
-
Currency conversions
Your sales revenue and bank deposits are rarely the same number.
| Can you help me prepare for tax season?
Yes. Ongoing bookkeeping ensures your financial records are organized and accurate year-round, making tax preparation faster, less stressful, and often less expensive for your accountant.
