Ecommerce Accounting FAQs

What accounting support can an ecommerce business get?

Cart Ledger can support tasks such as bookkeeping, financial reporting, and tax-related accounting. The right scope depends on your business, sales channels, and current records. Share how you sell and what you need help with to discuss a suitable approach.

What records should I keep for my online store?

Keep records of sales, refunds, payment processing fees, expenses, stock purchases, and shipping costs. Save invoices and statements from your sales platforms and suppliers. Organised records make it easier to reconcile transactions and prepare accurate accounts.

Can you help reconcile sales from different platforms?

Accounting support can help compare platform sales reports with payment provider payouts and bank transactions. This can bring fees, refunds, and timing differences into view. The process depends on the platforms you use and the information available.

When should I contact an accountant?

You can ask for support when you start selling, add sales channels, or find it difficult to keep records current. It is also useful to get accounting guidance before tax obligations or financial decisions become urgent.
