Accounting for E-commerce Sellers in America

A short, honest briefing — what goes wrong in this niche, and how our desks run it instead.

Where it goes wrong
i

Marketplace payouts that net out fees before they land

ii

Sales tax nexus creeping across states as you grow

iii

Inventory and COGS that never match the bank

How we run it

Feeds from Amazon, Shopify and Stripe reconciled daily; nexus watched state by state; COGS kept honest so margins mean something.
