E-commerce and Amazon
Accountants for e-commerce and Amazon sellers
Marketplace fees, international ad spend, overseas VAT and inventory all pull your numbers in different directions. We bring them back together so you know what you are really making.
Sound familiar?
You are probably here because
- You sell across Amazon, Shopify or several marketplaces and the numbers never quite reconcile
- You are not sure how VAT works on international ad spend or overseas sales
- Your reported profit does not match what the bank balance says
- You do not know your true margin by product or by channel
How we help
What we do for E-commerce & Amazon
Multi-channel accounting
We bring Amazon, Shopify and every other channel into one clean set of books, with the fees, refunds and settlements treated properly instead of lumped together.
VAT done correctly
VAT on international ad spend, overseas sales and marketplace facilitator rules is where sellers most often get caught. We get the treatment right and keep the filings on time.
Inventory and margin reporting
Reporting that shows the real margin by product and by channel, with stock treated as the asset it is, so you know what is actually worth selling.
Cashflow for stock-heavy businesses
When cash is tied up in inventory, timing is everything. We forecast around your buying cycle so growth does not run you out of cash.

Common questions
E-commerce & Amazon: common questions
Yes. Advertising bought from overseas platforms and marketplace fees have their own VAT treatment, and it is one of the most common places sellers get it wrong. We handle it as part of your VAT work.
Yes. Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Etsy and your own site can all feed one set of books. The point is to see the whole business, and the margin in each channel, rather than a separate picture per platform.
Stock is treated as an asset rather than a cost when you buy it, which is what makes reported profit match reality. We build the reporting so you can see margin by product, not just total sales.
