5 signs of bookkeeping trouble for an ecommerce business

eCommerce accounting is challenging. It seems like it should be simple enough, but too many companies and accountants make bookkeeping errors that lead to poor operational and strategic decisions.

As you know, bad decisions lead to poor results.

So, why is it so hard?

For starters, unlike most other businesses, most transactions pass through sales channels NOT the bank account. Just looking at the bank account for revenue is seriously misleading, so you’ve got to dig into the sales channels for the right information.

Other areas that make bookkeeping for ecommerce challenging are:

  • Inventory
  • Sales tax
  • COGS

As well as knowing how all these affect the Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Statement!

See what we mean? It’s a LOT!
