E-commerce

E-commerce books that reconcile
to what actually hit the bank.

Channel sales, processor payouts, fees, refunds and chargebacks reconciled to the bank — with inventory-aware reporting and a monthly close you can plan against.

Who this is for

Incorporated Canadian e-commerce businesses that need real visibility.

A payout is not revenue. It is gross sales less fees, refunds, chargebacks and reserves, and if it is booked as a single deposit the margin picture disappears.

  • You run an incorporated e-commerce business in Canada.
  • You sell through your own store, one or more marketplaces, or both.
  • Payouts arrive net of fees, refunds, chargebacks and reserves.
  • You need margin by channel or product, not just a deposit total.

We work with incorporated small and mid-sized businesses. This is not personal or consumer tax work.

How we help

Gross sales in, fees where they belong.

The reconciliation work is the whole job. Everything downstream — margin, tax, planning — depends on it being done properly.

01/

Sales channel reconciliation

Gross sales, discounts, refunds, shipping and taxes recorded per channel and tied back to the ledger.

02/

Payout reconciliation

Processor and marketplace payouts broken down into fees, reserves, refunds and chargebacks, and matched to bank deposits.

03/

Inventory-aware reporting

Where you hold inventory, cost of goods and inventory movement reflected in the reporting rather than estimated at year-end.

04/

HST/GST and sales tax workflow support

Sales tax treatment by channel and destination built into the workflow, with filings prepared or coordinated with your accountant.

05/

Monthly reporting

A monthly pack with revenue and margin broken out by channel, and by product where your data supports it.

Next steps

Four steps to numbers that tie out.

The data review comes early, because what is possible depends on what your platforms actually export.

STEP 01

Consultation

Thirty minutes. Which channels and processors you use, whether you hold inventory, and what the reporting has to answer.

STEP 02

Channel and data review

We look at what each platform and processor exports, and how it currently reaches the books.

STEP 03

Setup and catch-up

Reconciliation process built per channel, and prior periods brought current where needed.

STEP 04

Monthly close and reporting

A monthly close with channel-level reporting and sales tax handled in the workflow.

Why this is different

A deposit is not a sale.

General bookkeeping often records the payout and stops there. It reconciles to the bank and tells you nothing about the business.

01

Gross, not net

Sales recorded gross with fees, refunds and chargebacks recorded separately, so margin is visible rather than buried in a deposit.

02

Channel by channel

Reporting split by sales channel wherever the platform data allows it, so you can see which channel is carrying the business.

03

Tax in the workflow

Sales tax treatment configured in the monthly process rather than corrected at filing time.

Common questions

Before you book.

Which platforms and processors do you work with?

Common storefronts, marketplaces and payment processors. What matters is what your platforms can export and how cleanly, which we review against your specific setup in the consultation.

Do we have to change systems?

Not necessarily. We build the reconciliation process around what you already run, and only raise a change where the current setup cannot produce reliable data.

Can you handle inventory accounting?

Where you hold inventory and your systems capture the movement, yes. Where the data is not there, we tell you what would need to change before inventory reporting is meaningful.
