Every channel reconciled gross, nexus reviewed quarterly, and contribution margin you can actually act on.
The most common e-commerce bookkeeping error is also the most consequential: recording the Shopify or Amazon deposit as revenue. That single shortcut understates sales, hides fees and refunds, and makes it impossible to read whether a channel is working.
We run the accounting function for DTC brands and marketplace sellers, with the channel detail that ad spend and pricing decisions require.
Platform payouts arrive net of fees, refunds, chargebacks, and reserves. Booking the deposit collapses four accounts into one and makes ad efficiency unreadable.
Economic nexus triggers registration in states you've never shipped from. Marketplace facilitator rules cover some channels and not your own site. Exposure accrues silently until someone looks.
FBA, 3PL, and your own warehouse each report differently. Without one reconciled position, COGS is an estimate and gross margin moves for reasons nobody can trace.
Blended CAC and averaged platform fees mask the channel that's losing money on every order.
We reconcile every channel gross — sales, refunds, fees, chargebacks, reserves — so revenue and cost land in the right accounts. Nexus is reviewed quarterly against actual sales by state. Inventory is reconciled across every fulfillment location monthly. Then we report contribution margin by channel, SKU, and cohort.
Settlement detail into the ledger, not one net deposit.
Quarterly review, registration, and filing coordination.
FBA, 3PL, and warehouse reconciled to one position.
By channel, SKU, and acquisition cohort.
Reorder timing modeled against cash, not just velocity.
Post-Wayfair economic nexus generally applies at $100,000 of sales or 200 transactions into a state, with thresholds varying. Marketplace facilitator rules shift collection responsibility for some channels but never for your own site. Inventory stored in a state can create physical nexus on its own, which is why FBA placement matters. Income tax apportionment and registration follow separately from sales tax.
Yes, for Amazon and Shopify. It lands settlement detail into the right accounts instead of one net deposit. It's the single highest-leverage fix on most e-commerce books.
We quantify it first — states, periods, amounts — then work through voluntary disclosure agreements where they make sense. Registering forward without addressing history is how exposure gets found.
