Ecommerce accounting for international Amazon, eBay and Shopify sellers

Who This Suits

Overseas owners selling into the UK via Amazon FBA/FBM, Shopify, eBay or a mix of channels — including brands using 3PLs, UK fulfilment centres or cross-border shipping.

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.

Inventory, COGS & Landed Cost

Whether you ship to UK fulfilment or direct to consumer, we track stock movements, allocate freight, duty and fees into product cost, and reconcile inventory to 3PL/warehouse reports for an accurate gross margin.

Tech Stack We Use

Xero/QuickBooks — cloud ledgers with multi-currency and MTD VAT.
A2X — clean marketplace settlement summaries by period and channel.
Dext — automated capture of supplier bills, receipts and expense controls.

Ecommerce Accounting – FAQs

Do I need UK VAT if I sell via Amazon FBA UK?

Storing or fulfilling goods from the UK usually creates a UK VAT obligation. We’ll confirm your flows and register/file as needed.
Can you reconcile Amazon/Shopify settlements to my bank?

Yes — A2X posts summarised journals that match payouts; we reconcile to bank receipts and investigate variances (fees, refunds, chargebacks).
How do you track landed cost and COGS?

We capture freight, duty and handling fees and allocate them to product cost (periodic or perpetual). Inventory is reconciled to 3PL/warehouse reports.
Do you support multi-currency and multiple marketplaces?

Yes — we maintain clean FX revaluations in Xero/QuickBooks and produce channel-level reporting across Amazon, Shopify, eBay and others.
