Accounting for e-commerce
We convert statements from e-commerce platforms into books, give you accounting services, tax filings, and profitability reports
We do reporting & tax filing for multiple
e-commerce platforms in the UK and EU
Amazon statements have 150+ types of fees and charges, all with different VAT at home and abroad. We handle them all.
We take over ebay statements, transform them into books, and produce management reports and tax returns.
We upload Stripe receipts directly, tag them into the correct VAT category, and reconcile data every day
We collect transactions’ data directly from your Shopify store or Facebook store, and combine it with the other channels if needed.
We connect to your Magento-powered marketplace, upload transactions, and reconcile books every day.
Let us know which platform you use — we might already be working with it. If not, we’ll figure out how it works and get back to you.
Tired of dealing with accounting papers?
Each channel sends their own reports, each line is different category and VAT, each country has a different set of tax rules, and your accountant doesn’t want to deal with it.

We take Amazon, ebay, Stripe and any other statements, automatically convert them into books, and produce reports and tax returns
We show profitability of every line & channel
We consolidate numbers for each SKU, product group, and market, and show you where your money come from
We file tax in the countries where you sell

Multivertz Ltd.Many accountants I reached out to either never responded or charged extortionate amounts of money. I joined Osome and I'm incredibly happy I did.

Q&A
What is e-commerce accounting?
The definition of e-commerce accounting is reporting about your e-commerce business financials to the government. As an online vendor, you move products in and out, manage stock, and sell to customers in different countries via different channels. So, there are several things your e-commerce accounting includes:
- Bookkeeping, which lists every transaction. For example, when you accept products to your storage, or sell on Amazon, or have to accept back a pair of shoes on ebay. Bookkeeping keeps track of every money or asset movement, and provides a document covering every such event.
- Management reports, which gather all the sales data and try to make sense of it. For example, how much of each product you sold, what are the costs of operating every channel, and where do you actually make money.
- Tax filing & statutory reports. These depend on where you sell, for each government has a different tax system. Tax reports constitute a very detailed recount of every transaction and the categories they fall under. Depending on the categories, different types of tax are derived. An experienced accountant can also help make sure you get the benefits and exemptions available to your business under each specific tax code.
How do I start an e-commerce business account?
When organising accounting for ecommerce sales you need to make sure that you have all your needs covered.
- All your channels. Do you sell via different platforms? You need a way to consolidate reports from various sources
- All your tax jurisdictions. Do you sell in more than one country? You need to report for VAT everywhere you make money
- No manual paperwork. Processing invoices and receipts is tiresome, and you probably have better ways to spend your time than that.
How do I record sales in Shopify Xero?
Xero is a bookkeeping software we use. If you operate it yourself you‘ll have to manually go to Xero, choose ‘Accounts’ tab and press ‘reconcile’ each time. We connect your Shopfiy (Amazon, ebay, you name it) account directly and upload data every 24 hours. By the way, Osome is Xero’s platinum partner.
How do I record online sales on Amazon?
The best way to track online sales on Amazon is to connect directly to a bookkeeping software. We use Xero, there’s also Quickbooks, Sage and others. We connect the feed automatically and switch you to Xero seamlessly if needed. After that, any time you receive a statement from Amazon, it will automatically appear in Xero, where we take it, sort it into categories, tag, and deliver up-to-date financials daily.
