The problem
Subscriptions, batch stock, fulfilment costs and channel mix can hide margin leakage.
How SCA helps
SCA builds financial reporting that supports scale across Shopify, Amazon and marketplaces. Settlement-level reconciliation, VAT handled before it bites, and a monthly reporting cadence built for eCommerce brands doing £1m–£20m.
Built around how supplement brands actually make and spend money
Generic accounting treats a supplement brand like any product business. These are the parts that need specialist treatment.
Subscriptions and one-off sales are different businesses
A subscription book carries deferred revenue, renewals and churn; one-off drops rise and fall with ad spend. We report them separately, so one strong month is never mistaken for durable growth.
Batch stock, expiry and the cash behind it
Supplement stock is bought in large batches, often well ahead of demand. Cash sits in inventory long before it sells, and shelf life changes what that stock is worth. Your reporting should show both.
Landed cost, not the supplier invoice
Product cost only means something landed: goods, freight, duty and clearance fees together, per unit. Margin built on the supplier's price alone is usually wrong in your favour.
Channel mix, after each channel's own economics
Shopify, Amazon and TikTok Shop each take fees in their own way and pay out on their own timing. We report contribution per channel, so you can see which one actually funds the business.
Stock funding is the real scale question
Every extra month of growth needs the next batch funded before the last one has fully converted to cash. The stock and cash summary puts that decision in front of you with numbers, not vibes.
What you get every month
The monthly close is built for decisions: margin, cash and VAT in plain English, not a spreadsheet dump.
- Settlement reconciliation across Shopify, Amazon and TikTok Shop
- Channel contribution reporting after fees, refunds and creator costs
- VAT handled at source and set aside as you sell
- Batch stock and expiry review
- Stock and cash commitments summary for the next buying cycle
Optional, scoped separately: forecasting, historical cleanup and exit preparation.
One month, traced from sales to contribution
An illustrative shape of the supplement reporting (hypothetical figures for structure only; worked on your data at onboarding):
Shopify: gross sales, then discounts, refunds, gateway and app fees, to contribution
Amazon: sales against payouts; FBA fees, advertising and reimbursements reconciled
TikTok Shop: settlement against bank; creator commissions, funded promos and refunds
Then the stock movement: batches, expiry review and the cash needed for the next buy
Illustrative specimen. Figures are hypothetical and meant to show the shape of the reporting, not a result.
