Micah P.
E-Commerce Bookkeeper & CPA | QuickBooks | Inventory, COGS, Shopify
Ecommerce bookkeeper and CPA. Shopify and Amazon sellers hire me for QuickBooks Online and Xero: bank reconciliation, inventory and COGS, refunds, and a P&L that matches the bank. A2X certified, 100% Job Success, Top Rated Plus. Most e-commerce sellers come to me with one of three problems. 1. Your inventory and COGS are wrong, so your margins are fiction. This is the most common thing I fix. I set COGS up on FIFO or moving average, factor in freight, customs, duty and landed cost instead of just unit cost, reconcile inventory to your actual counts, and give you gross margin by channel you can trust. 2. Your payouts don't reconcile. Shopify Payments, PayPal, Stripe and Amazon all deposit net of fees, on their own timing, and none of it lines up with your sales dates. Undeposited Funds and merchant clearing accounts quietly balloon. I map gross sales, refunds, discounts, merchant fees, marketplace-collected sales tax and payouts properly, using A2X where it fits, so every deposit ties out. 3. Your books need cleaning up before anyone can use them. Refunds booked as income. Sales and COGS overstated. Prior months never reconciled to statement balances. I work month by month, tie everything back to the statements, and hand you a file your tax preparer can file from.
