Do you sell your products online
with E-commerce?
E-Commerce sites such as Amazon, ETSY, eBay, Shopify and Tic Toc Shop are force multipliers for Revenue but it can also add layers of complexity. Syncing multiple sales streams can be cumbersome at best and downright nightmarish if not set-up properly.
We Can Help
Give us a list of your current e-Commerce streams and we will be happy to advise on which platform would best fit your needs and help you with integration and set-up.
QBO Plug-ins that (don’t) work.
Some work with Amazon and eBay but not Tic Toc. Others work with Tic Toc but not Shopify. Some are great for COGS but only for a limited number of SKUs. Some are redundant and others don’t sync reliably.

How to keep your accounting bills LOW (and your accountant happy).
In general, having a clean set of books ensures that other things go smoothly. From having confidence when viewing customer aging reports to ease of tax filings, having up to date and reconciled books pays for itself in many ways.
- Keep personal accounts personal and business accounts for business.
- It is almost always better to transfer money between accounts than to use the incorrect account.
- If you use paper checks, keep a good check register.
- Having your accountant logging in to view checks is costly and can lead to errors in booking.
- Having a great set of books at tax time is a beautiful thing!
- Tax professionals charge a lot for end of year (and rushed) bookkeeping.
- Accurate bookkeeping allows your accountant to estimate tax liability ahead of time.
I appreciated Mr. Walters support and insights while building out my e-Commerce business. He is Awesome!
