& Marketplaces
Accusolve helps overseas sellers run UK-compliant books for Amazon, Shopify, eBay and multi-channel stores. We automate settlement reconciliations, handle VAT on cross-border sales, track inventory and COGS accurately, and deliver clear multi-channel reporting — powered by Xero/QuickBooks, A2X and Dext.

What We Do
- Monthly bookkeeping tailored to ecommerce flows (refunds, fees, chargebacks, gift cards).
- Automated marketplace settlement postings via A2X with clear sales, fees, VAT and payout mapping.
- VAT on cross-border sales (UK rates, distance sales to UK, import VAT/postponed VAT accounting).
- Inventory & COGS — periodic or perpetual methods, landed cost, freight and duty allocation.
- Multi-channel P&L, SKU profitability and channel margin reporting.
- Month-end packs with reconciliations, KPIs and cash-flow insights.
- Optional Virtual Finance Office for board packs, supplier payments and part-time CFO.
VAT for Marketplaces & D2C
We configure VAT logic for marketplace-deemed vs. merchant-of-record sales and keep your tax rates consistent across Amazon, Shopify and other channels. We also register and file MTD VAT returns and manage corrections where needed.
