Running a Shopify store isn’t just about plugging in apps and hoping Stripe pays out nicely.

You’ve got sales tax settings across multiple countries, refunds rolling in daily, bundles skewing your inventory, and let’s not even start on cash flow swings during promo season.

And yet, most accountants still treat you like you’re running a corner shop.

If you’re selling on Shopify and scaling fast, here’s why you need more than a generalist—and why Social Commerce Accountants is the best Shopify accountant in the UK for serious operators like you.

1. We Know Shopify Inside Out

Shopify isn’t like other platforms. The way payouts, fees, and gateway charges land in your account can turn even a decent bookkeeper’s head inside out.

We know how to:

• Reconcile Shopify Payments, PayPal, Klarna and Stripe

• Deal with bundled products and cost-of-goods sold (COGS) tracking

• Handle Shopify POS if you also sell in person

• Properly tag and track multi-location inventory

• Automate clean accounting data using Link My Books and Xero (both of which we offer discounts on for new clients)

“Went above and beyond to integrate Shopify and Xero—thorough, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful.”
— Lewis Wilson, Bangtao Fightstore

2. Tax, VAT and Inventory—Done Properly

Shopify sellers get tripped up all the time by VAT misreporting, mismatched sales channels, or stock systems that don't speak to Xero.

We sort that for you. We:

• File VAT returns (quarterly or monthly)

• Handle corporation tax and payroll if you're hiring

• Provide inventory system implementation if you're scaling

• Advise on tax-efficient business structure as you grow

• Offer management accounts so you can make decisions based on facts, not feelings

“The best accounting team we've worked with—meticulous, responsive, and provided valuable guidance for our company setup.”
— Kevin & Mel, Moicha Matcha

3. We’re Not Like the Others (And Our Clients Say So)

The difference isn’t just the technical stuff. It’s how we work:

• Quick replies (no waiting 5 days for a simple question)

• Real strategic advice—what margins you should be hitting, what’s killing your cash

• No “one-size-fits-all” templates

• We actually understand social commerce: Shopify, TikTok Shop, Amazon—all connected

“Switching to Social Commerce Accountants was one of the best business decisions I’ve made—efficient, communicative, and always willing to go the extra mile.”
— Daniel Riley, Stoic Store UK

4. You're Scaling? So Are We.

If your Shopify brand is doing 6 figures or gunning for 7, you're not just looking for number-crunching—you’re looking for infrastructure, clarity and calm.

We bring:

• Real-time profitability dashboards

• Tax planning for owners taking dividends

• Forecasting for growth and investment

• A support team that understands eCommerce deeply

Whether you're doing £10k/month or you've just had your first £100k month—we scale with you.

“Sam and his team are invaluable—having access to his expertise has been a game-changer.”
— Perry Power, Power Bespoke

Final Word: You Need a Specialist, Not a Spreadsheet Junkie

There’s a big difference between an accountant who “gets Shopify” and one who just hopes you export the right CSV.

At Social Commerce Accountants, we live and breathe the tools and challenges eCommerce sellers face. We’re not here to hold you back—we’re here to unlock the next level.

So if you're tired of explaining how your own business works to your accountant... it's time.
