Ecommerce Bookkeeping Services Built for Shopify, Amazon, and DTC Brands
Orders are up. Profit’s unclear.
Your books can’t explain the gap - but we can.
“We were scaling - but somehow making less.”
You're Selling More Than Ever - But Making Less
The ads are running. Orders are up. You’re growing.
So why does it still feel like you’re losing?
You open QuickBooks, and nothing adds up.
Your P&L says you’re profitable - but your bank balance says otherwise.
And no one can give you a straight answer about where the money went.
You’re not broken.
You’re just running a real business on fake numbers.
“We finally had our biggest month ever - and somehow lost money.”
That’s what happens when your books weren’t built for ecommerce.
You can’t trust your numbers.
So you can’t trust your decisions.
That’s the risk.

Most Bookkeepers Don’t Understand Ecommerce
And most brands don’t realize that - until they’re deep in the cash crunch.
You delegate the books.
You assume your CPA or Bookkeeper is tracking everything.
You trust your payouts match your sales.
They don’t.
Here’s what we see inside account after account:
Payouts booked as gross revenue - no breakdown for fees, returns, chargebacks
COGS tracked “on average” - not by SKU, not by channel, not by timeframe
Amazon deposits posted to “income” - with no idea what’s inside
Inventory missing from the balance sheet entirely
QuickBooks filled with categories like “Other Expenses” and “Shipping?”
Bookkeepers reconciling bank balances - not reconciling reality
None of this is malicious.
But your margins won’t care.
How Ecommerce Brands Lose Money - Without Realizing It
It doesn’t take a bad decision - just bad data at the wrong moment. And in ecommerce, bad data is the default.
Here’s how it happens:
A top-selling SKU is underwater - but you don’t see it until Q4
Platform fees eat 18% of every order - but never show up in your P&L
Discounts spike revenue - while profit quietly disappears
An inventory write-off wipes out your net income - with zero warning
A bookkeeper tags Amazon fees as “Shipping” -and no one notices
Profit Leaks Don’t Show Up Until It’s Too Late
You’re scaling - but so are the errors.
Margins erode quietly. Bad data compounds. And nobody tells you until Q4 blows up.
Every Hour You Spend in QuickBooks Is a Margin Leak
Your focus is growth. Ours is the numbers behind it.
Your books shouldn’t be a question mark.
