ETSY

Specialist Etsy Accounting & Tax Services

Stop paying tax on "Net Deposits." Most generalist accountants treat your net Etsy deposit as your sales figure—completely missing the 20p listing fees, transaction charges, and Offsite Ad costs deducted before the money hits your bank. We don't make that mistake. We reconcile your Etsy Payment account to capture every single expense.

Generalist Accountants Don't Understand Etsy. We Do.

You need comprehensive monthly services from a specialist Etsy Accountant who understands the difference between "Star Seller" metrics and "Real Profit" margins.

The Etsy Specialist: Why We're the Right Fit

Finding a specialised accountant for Etsy sellers is rare. We built our practice for creative commerce, ensuring your books handle the unique complexity of vintage, digital, and physical sales.

Platform Fluency

We instantly grasp Etsy Payments, listing renewal fees, and the impact of Offsite Ads. You won’t need to explain why your deposit is lower than your sales figure to us.

Inventory & Material Mastery

We understand that your cash is tied up in raw materials. We ensure your stock is accounted for correctly, so your Gross Margin is real, not a guess.

Proactive Tax Strategy

We advise on the transition from "side hustle" to serious business. We help you structure your Etsy accountancy to maximise wealth and manage cash flow for your next holiday rush.

Our Core Services

We offer all-inclusive packages designed to remove the stress from your Etsy fees and taxes, so you can get back to your craft.

01
Specialised Etsy Bookkeeping

 Etsy fees can eat into margins if not tracked correctly. We provide precise bookkeeping for Etsy sellers, breaking down listing fees, transaction costs, and off-site ads. Our Etsy bookkeeping services turn messy monthly CSV statements into clear, audit-ready financial data.

02
Expert Etsy Accountant

Handmade doesn't mean "hobby." As a dedicated accountant for Etsy sellers, we prepare tax returns that respect the nuances of your craft. We handle the full scope of accounting for Etsy business owners, ensuring you claim every allowable material, studio, and shipping expense.

03
The Best Online Solution

Don't limit yourself to a local generalist. Instead of searching for an "Etsy accounting firm near me," choose the best online accountant for Etsy sellers. We serve clients across the UK with cloud-based efficiency and specialist industry knowledge that local firms often lack.

04
Shop Profitability & Margins

Know your true numbers. We provide bookkeeping for Etsy shop owners that tracks the cost of materials against sales revenue. We help you price your items correctly by ensuring your financial data reflects the true cost of production and platform fees.

05
Material & Inventory Tracking

Raw materials aren't just expenses; they are cash on your shelf. As your bookkeeper for Etsy shop inventory, we help you track stock levels and Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), ensuring your tax return accurately reflects what you sold, not just what you bought.

06
Strategic Business Growth

Ready to scale off-platform? Our Etsy accountancy services cover VAT registration and expansion to your own website (Shopify/Woocommerce). We help you build a financial structure that supports growth from a kitchen table business to a full-time brand.

Sam approached me via Upwork when I was looking for a new accountant / credit controller. His pitch was simple and straight to the point; no-jargon or hidden fees. And what’s more, at a very competitive price point.

Although apprehensive due to his company being brand-new, I decided to take a leap of faith… I knew I had made the right decision within about two weeks. His attention to detail, overall knowledge, best-practices and reliable communication are truly impressive, and a HUGE step-up from our previous, traditional accountancy firm.

Sam undertakes the following work for me; P&L, Balance sheets, company valuation, payroll and invoicing – I am yet to encounter something Sam cannot handle.

In regard to our day-to-day communications, Sam is a pleasure to speak too with a constant positive attitude (except Monday mornings with a constant positive attitude (except Monday mornings….). I prefer WhatsApp for messaging, and Sam was happy to accommodate this. We have a great relationship, and I would have no problem recommending him to any of my associates.

I look forward to developing our relationship.

Keep up the great work Sam.

We've been working with Social Commerce Accountants for a few years now as our sole accounting partners. They helped us get our first tax return done easily and efficiently. Sam & Zunair are fantastic at helping small businesses with their accounting needs. Beyond this, they've helped us organise our small business and get everything set up from an accounting perspective. They also helped us with other detailed parts of the business, like all correspondence with HMRC from a tax perspective. They're a great team and will be sure to keep using them as we scale!

We're so glad that Sam was our accountant for our first end-of-year accounts and dividend share classes. He is so professional, knowledgeable, responsive to messages, easy to talk to and really went above and beyond to explain the ins and outs of what he was doing and help us to understand the processes involved. I highly recommend Sam and hope to work with him again!

Sam and Zunair are the best accountant team we've work with so far. They are meticulous, knowledgeable, and responsive. We completed our first YE account swiftly, and we learned a lot throughout the process. They also share advice and detailed guidance for our limited company set up. We highly recommend this team.

Sam helped us integrate Shopify and Xero through Synder for our accounting and online store. The project turned out to be more complex than we anticipated, but Sam was incredibly thorough and helpful throughout the whole process. He went above and beyond, putting in extra effort and time where needed to ensure everything worked perfectly. His communication, expertise, and dedication made a challenging task much easier. We highly recommend working with him!

Sam was great at doing my annual accounts and tax return. He didn’t have very much time to do it and I’m very grateful that he was able to do it within a short timeline. His communication was excellent, as was the quality of his work, and I would recommend him, and I intend to use him next year.

Working with Sam and Social Commerce Accountants has been one of the best business decisions I have ever made. I have moved from a dated, faceless accountancy firm to a small business that is always willing to go that extra mile for me. Communication, efficiency and friendliness are just a few of the qualities in which Social Commerce Accountants excel. My accounts have been a breeze since working with Sam and his team and it allows me to focus much more on the business side of things. My only regret is that I wish I had made the switch sooner; I would have saved myself so many headaches.

I’ve found working with Sam and Social Commerce Accountants to be an extremely positive experience, and it’s great to have his support as I establish my own data science company, Eudemo.

Sam is always quick to respond to potential issues, very communicative, and things are never too much of a problem for him.

I’ve particularly appreciated Social Commerce Accountants' ability to help with all aspects of the accounting and finance side - from monthly bookkeeping to payroll and accounts, through to handling my tax returns as a director - at an affordable rate.

Having a one stop shop like that makes things significantly easier, especially as a solo founder.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sam to anyone who’s starting their own business and wants to free themselves up to focus on where they’re adding value - as well as having a trusted advisor.
