E-commerce

You sell on Amazon, Shopify, or your own site. We track inventory costs, reconcile platform settlements, and show you which products actually make money.

The Money You Think You Made

Your Amazon dashboard shows $80,000 in sales last month. But after referral fees, FBA fees, storage charges, returns, advertising costs, and what you paid for the product, you might have cleared $6,000. Or $2,000. Or nothing. Most e-commerce sellers don’t actually know because the real number is buried under layers of platform complexity.

The problem compounds when you sell across multiple channels. Amazon settles every two weeks with a report that requires a finance degree to decode. Shopify deposits daily minus processing fees. Your wholesale orders have different margins entirely. Looking at your bank account tells you almost nothing about how the business is actually performing.

Who This Covers

Amazon FBA and FBM sellers, Shopify store owners, Etsy shops, wholesale distributors, and direct-to-consumer brands. Anyone moving physical products online and trying to figure out if they are actually making money.

The Core Issue

Revenue is not profit. A best-selling SKU can lose money if you are not tracking the full cost. Platform fees, return rates, and storage charges turn winners into losers without anyone noticing until cash runs short.

Inventory and Platform Tracking

We specialize in inventory accounting. That means tracking cost of goods sold properly, calculating landed costs that include freight and duties, and maintaining accurate inventory valuations. When you sell a unit, we know exactly what it cost you to get that product to the customer. Not a guess based on supplier invoices from six months ago.

We also reconcile your sales platforms to your accounting system. Amazon settlement reports are notoriously confusing. Fees get lumped together. Reimbursements appear weeks after the original transaction. We match every deposit to the underlying sales, fees, and adjustments so your books reflect what actually happened.

True Product Costs

Landed cost means supplier price plus shipping, duties, tariffs, prep fees, and inbound freight. We calculate this per SKU so you know the actual margin before platform fees even come into play. This is the foundation of knowing which products work.

Platform Reconciliation

Amazon withholds reserves, processes refunds, and reimburses you for lost inventory in separate transactions spread across weeks. We untangle all of it. Your revenue, fees, and net proceeds are tracked accurately instead of lumped into mystery deposits.

Where It Goes Wrong

Most sellers know what they paid their supplier but have no idea what a unit actually costs them. Shipping from China gets split across multiple POs. Storage fees accrue monthly but never get allocated to specific products. Return costs eat into margins but show up as general expenses. The result is margin calculations that look good on paper but do not match reality.

Scaling makes it worse. You reorder your best sellers based on sales velocity but without margin data. That product moving 500 units a month might be your biggest loser once you factor in the 18% return rate and rising ad costs. You keep feeding inventory into a hole because the numbers looked fine at first glance.

Inventory Blind Spots

Products sitting in FBA warehouses rack up aged inventory fees. Returns come back unsellable. Shipments go missing. Without proper tracking, you do not know what you have, where it is, or what it is costing you to hold it there.

Sales Tax Exposure

Selling in multiple states creates nexus in those states. Amazon collects and remits in some situations but not all. Your Shopify sales might be creating tax obligations you do not even know about. The penalties for ignoring this can be significant.

What Changes

You stop guessing which products make money. Accurate cost tracking shows margins by SKU, by channel, by time period. You can see that the product with the highest sales is actually your third most profitable, while a slower mover generates better returns with less hassle. Decisions become obvious when you have real data.

Inventory ordering becomes strategic instead of reactive. Historical data shows true sell-through rates and actual margins. You buy more of what works and stop tying up cash in products that do not perform. Cash flow improves because you are not overbuying based on hope.

SKU-Level Decisions

Cut the underperformers that looked good on revenue but lost money on margin. Double down on winners you might have overlooked. Launch decisions get backed by real numbers instead of optimism. Your catalog becomes leaner and more profitable.

Clean Books All Year

No scramble at tax time trying to figure out what you sold and what it cost. Inventory is tracked, platforms are reconciled, and your accountant or CPA gets clean financials to work with. The year-end close becomes straightforward instead of a crisis.
