Accountants for Shopify sellers.

Because a payout is a batch of orders minus gateway fees, refunds and adjustments, settled on Shopify's calendar rather than yours — and PayPal, Klarna and Clearpay orders aren't in it at all, they settle separately. The only way to get truthful revenue is to reconcile each payout back to its settlement report at order level, which is exactly how we keep Shopify books.

Each gateway is reconciled independently on its own settlement schedule, with its own fees, then tied back to Shopify's order data so nothing is double-counted or missed. Most messy Shopify books we inherit reconcile Shopify Payments and ignore the rest — which can silently misstate a third of revenue.

No — and this catches sellers out. Shopify is not a marketplace deemed supplier: you are the seller of record, so UK output VAT on your sales is your responsibility, along with exports, EU consumer sales and distance-selling rules as you grow. We prepare VAT from order-level data so the return matches what you actually sold, not what landed in the bank.

Yes — historic clean-ups are how most engagements start. We rebuild from settlement data (Shopify keeps it), correct VAT where needed, and get you to a clean baseline before the monthly cadence takes over. It's almost always faster and cheaper than sellers fear.

Not always. Below a certain SKU count and order volume, a disciplined spreadsheet-and-process approach inside the accounting workflow is enough. When stock complexity genuinely needs a system, we'll say so and set it up — we don't sell software for the sake of it.
