Sound familiar?
Ecommerce admin eating into time you do not have.
Online selling generates paperwork at a pace most accountants are not set up to handle. Platform settlement reports, multiple revenue streams, import VAT, and a VAT threshold that creeps up quietly — it adds up. Most ecommerce sellers either cobble it together themselves or pay for a generalist accountant who asks them to explain how Shopify pays out.
- Hours lost reconciling platform payouts against your bank statements each month
- Not certain whether you have crossed the VAT threshold or when to register
- Tax bill arriving as a surprise because no one was keeping an eye on it
What a tidy set of books looks like
Platform revenue tracked, VAT position visible, and your tax bill known well before any deadline. The parts you find most tedious are handled — and you deal directly with the same person every time.
- Platform revenue reconciled monthly — no year-end scramble through settlement reports
- VAT threshold monitored continuously — you will not be caught out by a missed registration date
- Tax liability calculated throughout the year so the bill is never a surprise
- Fixed fee agreed before any work starts — no hourly billing, no charge for a quick question

Everything an ecommerce business needs to stay compliant
From monthly bookkeeping to VAT submissions and year-end accounts — one fixed fee, one point of contact, filed on time.
Bookkeeping and Platform Reconciliation
Your ecommerce revenue is recorded accurately each month — whether you sell on Shopify, Amazon, Etsy, or your own site. Settlement reports, refunds, and fees are accounted for properly so your books reflect what the business actually earned. No year-end scramble, no guesswork.
Included as standardVAT Returns and MTD Filing
Your VAT threshold is monitored throughout the year so registration does not catch you off guard. Once registered, quarterly submissions are prepared and filed on time under Making Tax Digital. Scheme selection advice — flat rate, standard, cash accounting — included at the outset.
Filed on time, every timeSelf Assessment and Corporation Tax
Whether you operate as a sole trader or through a limited company, your tax return is handled end to end. Your liability is calculated well before the deadline so you know what to set aside — not the week the payment is due. Directors’ salary and dividend split reviewed annually.
No deadline surprisesConsistently five stars across every type of client
Sole traders, small businesses, contractors, and landlords — all reviewed on Google. A consistent theme: direct access, accurate work, no runaround.
Vast Knowledge, Very Good Job Done

Professional and Efficient Every Single Time
“Joey always delivers a professional and efficient service. Highly recommend to everyone!”
What makes this different from a standard accountant
Most accountants are set up for the easy cases. Ecommerce businesses generate more complexity — multiple platforms, import VAT, high transaction volumes — and need someone who already knows the territory.
No explaining how your platforms work
Settlement reports, platform fees, payout timing — you will not need to walk Joey through how Shopify or Amazon reconciles before getting a useful answer. Ecommerce revenue streams are understood from the outset. That saves time at every year-end and every VAT quarter.
Direct access, seven days a week
Most ecommerce sellers are not free to call an accountant between nine and five on a Tuesday. Joey is contactable from 7am to 7pm Monday to Saturday — by phone, WhatsApp, or email — and often Sundays when something needs sorting. You deal with the same person every time, not a junior relaying messages.
Fixed fee, agreed before work starts
High transaction volumes can make ecommerce bookkeeping unpredictable on an hourly rate. JD Accountancy scopes a fixed monthly fee to the actual size and complexity of your business — agreed in writing before anything begins. No bill that doubles because it was a busy sales month.
Up and running in four straightforward steps.
Most clients are fully set up within a week. The switching admin is handled — you sign one form and Joey does the rest.
Free initial chat
Get in touch by phone, WhatsApp, or the form on this page. We will talk through your business — which platforms you sell on, how you are currently structured, and what is causing the most friction. No pressure, no upsell. If it is not a fit, that gets said.
Fixed quote in writing
After the call you will receive a fixed fee scoped to the size and complexity of your ecommerce business. Bookkeeping, VAT, Self Assessment or Corporation Tax — everything in scope is listed. No surprises on the invoice later.
We handle the switch
If you have a previous accountant, Joey contacts them directly to request your records. Xero is set up, bank feeds connected, HMRC authorisations updated. You sign one form. The legwork is done for you.
Books clean, tax visible
From that point, your platform revenue is reconciled monthly, your VAT position is clear, and your tax bill is visible throughout the year. You know where you stand — and if a question comes up, you message Joey directly and get an answer the same day.
“Joey always delivers a professional and efficient service. Highly recommend to everyone!”
Things ecommerce sellers usually ask first
Do you understand how ecommerce platforms pay out — settlement reports, platform fees, and all of it?
Yes. Platform settlement reports, referral fees, fulfilment charges, refund handling, and the timing difference between a sale and a payout are all part of the day-to-day work. You will not need to explain how Shopify or Amazon reconciles before getting a useful answer. That context is already there.
What does it cost, and what is included?
Pricing is fixed and scoped to the size and complexity of your business — transaction volume, whether VAT applies, and whether you need bookkeeping, Self Assessment, or full limited company accounts. You receive a written quote before any work begins. No hourly billing and no charge for a quick question in between.
My books are in a bit of a state. Is that a problem?
It is fairly common, particularly for ecommerce sellers who have been managing it themselves. A catch-up period is scoped and priced separately at the outset so you know what bringing the records up to date will cost before anything starts. Once current, the monthly work is straightforward from there.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. There is no minimum term. If the arrangement is not working after a few months, you are free to leave — with your records in good order and nothing outstanding. Most clients stay because the work gets done and questions get answered, not because they are tied in.
I sell across multiple platforms — Shopify, Amazon, and Etsy. Can you handle all three?
Yes. Multi-platform selling is straightforward to manage in Xero once the feeds and reconciliation rules are set up correctly. Revenue, fees, and refunds from each platform are recorded separately so you can see which channel is actually contributing margin. VAT position is monitored across the combined turnover, not per platform.
When will I know what my tax bill is going to be?
Throughout the year, not the week before the deadline. Because bookkeeping is kept current monthly, your profit position is visible on an ongoing basis. A tax estimate is provided well before any payment date so you have time to plan and set aside the right amount. There are no late surprises.
