E-commerce accountants · TikTok Shop sellers
Commission, affiliate payouts, creator samples and shipping separated from every settlement, so a viral month shows up as profit, not just sales.
"We had a huge month on TikTok Shop, but the bank balance does not show it."
"Affiliate commissions come out of every settlement and I cannot see them by product."
"We send creators free samples and have no idea what that really costs."
"Return rates are high and I do not know what they do to our margin."
What we do for TikTok Shop 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.

The compliance position
TikTok Shop 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 "Which products are profitable after affiliate commission?" 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.
