UK Ecommerce Bookkeeping Consultation: What We Review
A growing online store can create hundreds or thousands of monthly transactions across sales, refunds, shipping, advertising, inventory, marketplace fees, payment gateways and VAT. A general bookkeeper may record the bank feed, but ecommerce bookkeeping needs a deeper understanding of how platforms such as Amazon, eBay and Shopify report sales and deductions. During your consultation, we look at the real finance issues behind your numbers so you can make better decisions with confidence.
Our goal is to help you understand whether your current bookkeeping system is giving you reliable profit reports, clean VAT records, accurate marketplace reconciliation and useful cash-flow visibility. We also discuss how your setup can be improved using automation, better workflows and a stronger month-end review process.

Marketplace Reconciliation for Amazon, eBay and Shopify Sellers
Marketplace deposits rarely equal your gross sales. They can include selling fees, FBA charges, advertising deductions, refunds, reserve balances, shipping income, subscriptions, currency conversion, reimbursements and other adjustments. If these deductions are not posted correctly, your profit report may look better or worse than reality.
- Amazon settlement reconciliation, FBA fee tracking and advertising cost separation.
- eBay managed payments, refunds, shipping labels, promotions and seller fee categorisation.
- Shopify payouts, Stripe, PayPal, Klarna and payment gateway reconciliation.
- Multi-channel sales consolidation, duplicate income prevention and clean monthly reporting.
- Accurate cost of goods sold and inventory-related bookkeeping workflows.
Profit Reporting and Cash Flow for UK Online Sellers
Many ecommerce businesses are busy but not always profitable. The consultation helps you understand which reports matter most: gross margin, contribution margin, advertising spend, marketplace fee percentage, stock cash tied up, VAT liability and monthly net profit. Clean reports make it easier to decide whether to increase stock, pause a product, raise prices, reduce ads or hire help.
If you are not sure whether your current numbers are reliable, we can discuss the warning signs: unreconciled clearing accounts, missing marketplace fees, bank-only bookkeeping, stock purchases posted incorrectly, VAT reports that do not match platform data, or sales recorded twice through both platform feeds and bank deposits.
Amazon Seller Bookkeeping UK, eBay Accounting and Shopify Finance Support
Each ecommerce platform has different reporting rules, fee structures and reconciliation challenges. That is why our consultation is tailored to your actual sales channels rather than using a generic bookkeeping checklist.
Amazon Seller Bookkeeping Consultation UK
Amazon sellers often need help with settlement reports, FBA fees, storage fees, refunds, reimbursements, advertising, PAN-EU considerations, VAT coding and matching Amazon deposits to accounting software. We can discuss how your Amazon data should flow into your books and which monthly checks help prevent errors.
For more detail about this service, visit our internal page for Amazon seller bookkeeping services.
eBay Seller Accountant and Bookkeeping Review
eBay sellers need clean tracking for managed payments, returns, promoted listings, postage, VAT, marketplace fees and multi-item sales. During the consultation, we can review how eBay income is recorded and whether fees are separated correctly for better profit visibility.
Learn more on our eBay seller bookkeeping service page.
Shopify Bookkeeping UK and Payment Gateway Reconciliation
Shopify sellers often use several payment processors, including Shopify Payments, PayPal, Stripe, Klarna and manual bank transfers. Accurate Shopify bookkeeping means matching payouts, separating fees, accounting for refunds, tracking gift cards, coding apps correctly and keeping VAT treatment consistent.

VAT Bookkeeping for Ecommerce Sellers and Making Tax Digital Support
VAT can become complicated when you sell across marketplaces, ship goods, use fulfilment centres, sell internationally or approach the VAT registration threshold. We can discuss how your current bookkeeping records support VAT return preparation and whether your software process is suitable for Making Tax Digital.
GOV.UK states that VAT includes online returns, rates, charging and record keeping, which is why clean digital records matter for sellers. GOV.UK also explains that VAT-registered businesses should keep VAT records and submit VAT Returns using compatible software under Making Tax Digital for VAT. For official reference, you can review the GOV.UK pages for VAT guidance and Making Tax Digital for VAT.
We can also point you towards official deadlines and HMRC resources where relevant. For example, GOV.UK publishes Self Assessment tax return deadlines and payment information for taxpayers. Official guidance is available on Self Assessment deadlines.
VAT and Ecommerce Bookkeeping Areas We Can Discuss
- Whether your bookkeeping software is ready for VAT and Making Tax Digital.
- How marketplace income, refunds and fees should be coded for VAT review.
- How to prepare better records for VAT return support.
- How stock purchases, imports, courier charges and advertising costs appear in your accounts.
- When to seek specialist VAT advice for cross-border or complex selling arrangements.

Why Ecommerce Sellers Choose Specialist Bookkeeping Instead of Generic Bookkeeping
Generic bookkeeping can work for simple service businesses, but online sellers usually need platform-specific knowledge. Ecommerce books can become inaccurate quickly when marketplace fees, refunds, chargebacks, stock purchases, advertising costs and payment gateway balances are not treated correctly. Specialist ecommerce bookkeeping helps connect your trading activity to your accounting records in a way that produces meaningful reports.
Ecommerce Bookkeeping Checklist for a Cleaner Month-End
- Download or connect marketplace settlement reports for each sales channel.
- Reconcile payouts to Amazon, eBay, Shopify, PayPal, Stripe or bank deposits.

Free UK Ecommerce Bookkeeping Consultation FAQs
Is the ecommerce bookkeeping consultation really free?
Yes. There is no charge, no credit card required and no obligation to use our services. We offer free consultations because ecommerce sellers often need clarity before choosing the right bookkeeping route.
How long does the consultation take?
Consultations typically last 30 minutes. If your situation involves multiple marketplaces, VAT questions or complex reconciliation issues, we may recommend a longer follow-up review.
What should I prepare before the consultation?
No preparation is required, but it helps to know your approximate monthly revenue, sales platforms, VAT status, accounting software and main bookkeeping problems. Recent marketplace statements or profit reports can make the discussion more specific.
Can you help with Amazon FBA bookkeeping?
Yes. We can discuss Amazon settlements, FBA fees, refunds, reimbursements, advertising costs, stock costs and how to reconcile Amazon deposits accurately in your accounting software.
Do you support eBay and Shopify bookkeeping?
Yes. We support eBay, Shopify and multi-channel sellers. We can review payment gateway reconciliation, marketplace fees, refunds, shipping costs, apps and VAT-ready reporting.
Can you help if I am approaching the VAT threshold?
Yes. We can discuss the bookkeeping records you need, how to monitor revenue, how VAT may affect your reporting process and when you should seek personalised VAT advice.
Will I be pressured to sign up for services?
No. The consultation is designed to provide genuine value. If we are a good fit, we can provide a clear proposal. If DIY bookkeeping or another route is better, we will tell you honestly.
What if I already have a bookkeeper?
That is fine. Many sellers use the consultation as a second opinion to understand whether their current bookkeeping properly handles ecommerce-specific issues like marketplace reconciliation, VAT records and stock reporting.
How quickly can we schedule the consultation?
We typically respond within 24 hours and can often schedule consultations within 2 to 3 business days. If your issue is urgent, mention it in the form.
