Why Shopify Sellers Need Professional Bookkeeping

Shopify is a powerful ecommerce platform, but its built-in financial tools are not enough for long-term financial management. Many sellers make the mistake of relying solely on Shopify’s reports, only to realize that these summaries do not provide the level of detail necessary for tax filings, financial forecasting, or understanding true profitability. Without proper bookkeeping, Shopify sellers may:

• Miscalculate profits by failing to track fees, refunds, and chargebacks properly.
• Overlook deductible business expenses, leading to higher tax liabilities.
• Experience cash flow problems due to a lack of financial visibility.
• Struggle with tax compliance and risk penalties from the IRS.

Our Shopify Seller Bookkeeping Services

At eBiz Accounting, we don’t offer generic bookkeeping services. We provide solutions specifically designed for Shopify sellers, addressing the complexities of ecommerce transactions, inventory tracking, and tax reporting. Our services include:

• Accurate Sales and Revenue Tracking: Shopify’s sales reports provide a snapshot of revenue, but they don’t account for platform fees, refunds, or discounts correctly. We ensure that all sales data is properly recorded, reconciling Shopify payouts with your bank statements to give you a precise view of your business’s financial health.
• Expense Categorization and Deduction Optimization: Shopify sellers incur various expenses, including advertising costs, payment processing fees, and third-party app subscriptions. Our team categorizes these expenses accurately, ensuring that you take full advantage of all available deductions come tax season.
• Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) Management: Many Shopify sellers struggle to track their inventory costs properly, which can lead to inaccurate profit calculations. We implement systems that monitor your inventory purchases, COGS, and profitability, so you always know the true margins of your products.
• Multi-Channel and International Sales Reconciliation: If you sell on multiple platforms in addition to Shopify—such as Amazon, eBay, or Etsy—our bookkeeping services ensure that your income and expenses are properly tracked across all channels. We also assist Shopify sellers who operate internationally, helping them manage foreign transactions, VAT, and multi-currency accounting.
• Sales Tax Compliance: Sales tax is one of the most complex aspects of running a Shopify store. With changing tax laws and economic nexus requirements, it’s crucial to ensure compliance in every state where you have tax obligations. eBiz Accounting assists Shopify sellers with sales tax calculations, collection, and filing, keeping you compliant and audit-ready.
• Financial Reporting and Performance Analysis: Beyond bookkeeping, we provide monthly financial reports that break down your revenue, expenses, and profitability. Our insights help Shopify sellers make informed business decisions, whether it’s scaling operations, adjusting pricing strategies, or optimizing ad spend.

Why Choose a CPA for Shopify Bookkeeping?

Many Shopify sellers start by managing their books themselves or hiring a basic bookkeeper. However, ecommerce bookkeeping is complex and requires expertise in accounting principles, tax laws, and financial strategy. By working with a CPA firm like eBiz Accounting, you gain:

• Expertise in ecommerce Accounting: We understand the nuances of Shopify bookkeeping, including platform-specific accounting challenges.
• Accurate, Audit-Ready Books: Proper bookkeeping reduces errors, minimizes tax liabilities, and ensures compliance with IRS regulations.
• More Time to Focus on Your Business: Instead of spending hours trying to reconcile transactions, you can focus on growing your Shopify store while we handle the numbers.
• Tax Planning and Advisory Services: We don’t just track your financials; we help you strategize for future growth and tax efficiency.
