An ecommerce accountant UK brands can talk to

An ecommerce accountant UK founders can use should understand what happens between the order and the bank. We reconcile platforms, make tax visible and report what is left after the real cost of selling.

The commercial reality

Sales are only the start of the answer.

A sales dashboard can show revenue instantly, but it does not show the full profit or the tax sitting behind it. Multiple channels and payment providers also mean the bank deposit rarely matches the original order value.

What we help you get under control

  • Reconcile sales and payout data
  • Keep bookkeeping and VAT records current
  • Report on profit, margin and cash flow
  • Plan Corporation Tax before cash is committed
  • Build a finance rhythm that scales with order volume

The work is explained plainly and scoped around the current stage of the business. You do not need to fit a pre-set package or already have perfect records before making an enquiry.

Where the detail matters

Net payouts hide the useful detail

Recording only the amount Shopify Payments, Amazon or TikTok Shop sends to the bank can understate both revenue and costs. We preserve the gross sale, fees, refunds and other deductions so the accounts explain what happened.

Revenue is not contribution margin

A product can sell well and still lose money after acquisition, fulfilment, returns and platform costs. Current bookkeeping and reporting make those costs visible before the next stock order or ad-budget increase.

Common questions

Direct answers for this business model.

The treatment still depends on the facts, so keep the records behind each answer.

Do ecommerce businesses need a specialist accountant?+

It is not a legal requirement, but relevant experience shortens the explanation. The accountant should understand payout reports, fees, refunds, stock and ecommerce VAT issues.

Can you reconcile Shopify, Amazon and TikTok Shop?+

Yes, where platform data and access are available. We map each payout to gross sales and deductions, then agree a repeatable process for the channels used.
