01
Shopify payouts are net of fees
What hits the bank is sales minus fees, refunds, and adjustments. Book the deposit as revenue and you understate sales and hide what you're really paying to get paid.

The problem
Most ecommerce books are quietly wrong.
Not because anyone is careless, but because ecommerce data doesn't arrive the way accounting needs it. A few of the usual culprits:
02
Fees aren't a flat percentage
Merchant fees combine a fixed per-transaction amount with a percentage of the sale, so you can't simply "back into" gross revenue. It takes a proper gross-up method.
03
Complexity piles up as you grow
Multiple entities, multiple currencies, 3PL charges, inventory and COGS, and sales tax nexus across states. Each one is a place for errors to hide.
04
Closes take weeks
When the books close three weeks after month-end, the numbers are history by the time you see them, and decisions get made on gut feel.
05
Historical messes compound
Unreconciled accounts and miscoded transactions carry forward every month until nobody trusts the P&L, and audits or fundraising get painful.
06
No line of sight to unit economics
Without clean margins by channel and product, it's hard to know which ads, SKUs, and marketplaces actually make money.
Why a fast close pays for itself
Your ad budget can't wait until the 20th.
Ecommerce brands spend heavily on ads. To know which campaigns are working and which to cut, you need last month's true numbers (real revenue, fees, COGS, and margin) right away. The later the close, the less time your decisions have to pay off.

Close on day 20typical
Cut losers sooner
Spot unprofitable campaigns and SKUs in the first days of the month, not the last.
Scale winners with confidence
Put more budget behind what's working, based on true margins rather than platform dashboards.
Plan on real numbers
Inventory buys, cash, and forecasts built on a complete, CPA-reviewed close.
CPA review on every close
AI does the work. A CPA checks every close.
AI is fast and cheap, but it can be confidently wrong. So nothing reaches you until I've reviewed it. You get the cost of automation with the accountability of a licensed CPA.

About
Hi, I'm your CPA.
Scaling up businesses is what I love most. Honestly, it's the work I'd do even unpaid. I like juggling several brands at once and helping each one grow, because watching a client's numbers get better month after month never gets old.
I'm a Philippine CPA: a licensed CPA with 10+ years in accounting and finance, including 5+ years leading finance functions across different businesses and industries.
My strength is stepping into finance functions that are broken, slow, or underbuilt and turning them into reliable, scalable operations: cleaning up historical issues, rebuilding processes, automating manual work, and delivering numbers leadership can trust.
I use AI to do the heavy lifting in a fraction of the time, which keeps my work affordable and my fees fixed. But AI doesn't sign off on your books. I do. A fast, accurate, complete close is a competitive advantage: timely numbers lead to better decisions today and more reliable forecasts tomorrow.
