Who we help
eCommerce sellers
Marketplace and payment-provider payouts combine sales, fees and refunds in a single figure. We break each payout down so your records and VAT returns reflect what you actually sold.
Your situation
Marketplaces and payment providers rarely pay you what you actually sold. Payouts arrive with fees, refunds and adjustments already taken off, often from several platforms at once.
Unless each payout is broken down properly, it is hard to see your real sales, costs and margins, and harder still to get VAT right.
Typical challenges
- Reconciling payouts from several platforms and payment providers
- Recording marketplace and payment fees correctly
- Handling refunds, returns and chargebacks
- Keeping track of stock and the cost of what you sell
- Working out the VAT on different kinds of sale

Common questions
Can you handle sales from more than one platform?
Yes. We bring the payouts from each platform and payment provider into your bookkeeping, so you can see all your sales and fees in one place.
Do I need to register for VAT as an online seller?
It depends on your turnover, what you sell and where your customers are. Selling to customers outside the UK can bring extra rules. We look at your situation in your consultation.
