E-commerce accountants · Shopify and direct-to-consumer brands
Every payment gateway reconciled, discounts and refunds treated properly, and unit economics you can make decisions on.
"Shopify Payments, PayPal and Klarna each take different fees and pay out on different days."
"Our app subscriptions have crept up and I do not know which ones pay for themselves."
"I cannot say what it costs us to win a customer on each channel."
"Discounts and refunds make our sales figures hard to trust."
What we do for Shopify sellers
All of it included in your monthly fee.
One payout, broken down
Your bank sees one figure. Behind it are sales and a string of deductions, each of which belongs on its own line in your accounts.
We prepare that as a balanced journal for every settlement, and a qualified accountant reviews it before it is posted.
| Shopify settlement | Amount |
|---|---|
| Gross sales across three gateways | £5,000.00 |
| Shopify Payments fees | −£110.00 |
| PayPal fees | −£42.00 |
| Klarna fees | −£58.00 |
| Refunds | −£190.00 |
| Paid into your bank | £4,600.00 |

The compliance position
Shopify collects your sales figures and reports them to HMRC once you make 30 or more sales, or more than about £1,700 (€2,000), in a calendar year. If your books show only the net payouts, they will not match what HMRC holds. We record your gross sales with every fee shown separately, so they do.
Between payouts you can ask "What did it cost to win each new customer last month?" and see the working. How it works.
Settlement journals for every channel, receipt capture and a cash forecast included. Selling on more than one marketplace? See how we handle every channel.
There is no charge per channel. E-commerce plans are set by how many channels you sell on and your turnover, and every channel is reconciled the same way.
Yes. App subscriptions are coded on their own, so you can see what each costs against what it brings in.
Sales are recorded at the price actually charged, with refunds shown separately, so your margin reflects what customers really paid.
A free discovery call to look at how your payouts are being recorded and what that is hiding. No obligation.
