Outsource Bookkeeping for E-Commerce Stores: How to Stay on Top of Inventory and Profit
Running an e-commerce business means dealing with product inventory, shipping logistics, multi-platform sales data, and real-time customer demand. Amidst all that, keeping your books up to date often falls to the bottom of the list.

Why E-Commerce Bookkeeping Is So Challenging
- Inventory is always changing – SKUs, returns, bundles, and seasonal shifts
- Sales may come from multiple sources (Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, etc.)
- Payment processors all report data differently
- Profit tracking requires tying together cost of goods sold (COGS), fees, shipping, and returns
What Outsourced Bookkeepers Can Do for E-Commerce Brands
- Sync all your sales data into one source of truth (QuickBooks, Xero, etc.)
- Reconcile inventory purchases with cost of sales
- Help you track true profit per product category or channel
- Catch up missed months and keep your books tax-ready
Real Example
An e-commerce business selling across Amazon and Shopify was struggling to track real profitability after ads, returns, and supplier costs. With our help, they went from spreadsheets to monthly reports – showing product-level margins and year-end tax-ready books within two weeks.
