Accounting and tax for online sellers and retail brands — inventory, marketplaces, and multi-state sales tax treated as one connected system.
E-commerce outgrew its tax rules years ago. Economic nexus means a seller can owe registration in states it has never set foot in; marketplace facilitator laws collect some of the tax but not all of it; and inventory placed in third-party warehouses quietly creates footprint. Meanwhile the books must reconcile payouts, fees, returns, and inventory across every channel.
We build e-commerce accounting that closes cleanly — channel settlements reconciled, COGS and inventory tracked properly — and manage the sales-tax layer proactively: nexus reviewed on a schedule, registrations filed as thresholds approach, not after they've passed.
Economic nexus monitoring, state registrations, and filing coordination — before thresholds become liabilities.
Amazon, Shopify, and marketplace settlements reconciled to the books — fees, refunds, and reserves included.
Inventory accounting that survives growth — landed costs, 3PL stock locations, and margins you can trust by SKU.
Federal and state returns for the entity and its owners, with structure reviewed as the business scales.
Entity setup, EIN, and the Form 5472 layer for overseas brands selling into the American market.
Inventory-purchase planning and cash-flow forecasts — so growth doesn't outrun the bank balance.
Federal and state compliance handled end-to-end — accurate returns, defensible positions, and planning that happens before year-end, not after it.
