Sound familiar?

Your deposit never matches your sales

Marketplace fees, refunds, and reserves are buried inside every payout. We unpack each one and match it to your bank, to the penny.

You can't tell what you actually made

Ad spend here, fees there, inventory costs somewhere else. We put every dollar in its place so your true margin is visible.

Tax time is a fire drill

Your CPA asks for clean books; you hand over a pile of CSVs. We keep them clean all year, so April is a handoff, not a panic.

Your spreadsheet is held together with hope

Manual tracking breaks as you grow. We replace it with a real set of books that scales with you.

What we do for sellers

  1. Payout reconciliation

    Every Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, and Stripe payout matched to your bank deposits. No mystery money.

  2. Fees, refunds & ad spend, categorized

    Marketplace fees, returns, PPC — each tracked separately, so you see what each product really earns.

  3. Inventory & product costs

    What you paid, what you're holding, what each SKU makes. No more guessing on reorder math.

  4. Monthly profit & loss, in plain English

    One readable page: sales, costs, profit. No accounting degree required.

  5. Sales-tax-ready records

    Complete, organized records your CPA or tax software can file from directly.

  6. Cleanup

    Months or years of tangled books, untangled and tied out — then kept clean going forward.

How we start

  • NDA first — before you share anything.
  • Read-only access: we see your numbers; we can't move your money.
  • Inside your QuickBooks or Xero — your accounts, your data, always.
  • One named person on your books — Arslan, our founder. Never a rotating team or a stranger.

Pricing

Simple flat monthly pricing, quoted after a free look at your books — based on your order volume, not an hourly meter running. Start with a Free Books Health Check and you'll know exactly where you stand.

Questions sellers ask

I already have a CPA. Why do I need you?

Your CPA does your taxes once a year, and charges by the hour to clean up messy books first. We keep your books clean every month, so tax time is a handoff, not a fire drill, and their bill is smaller.

Which software do you work in?

QuickBooks and Xero, inside your own accounts. If you're on a spreadsheet today, we'll move you over — that's part of the cleanup.

What do you need from me to start?

Read-only access to your books and your seller accounts. We sign an NDA before you share a single login.

Do you file sales tax for me?

We keep your sales-tax records complete and organized so your CPA or tax software can file from them. We don't file or sign returns — that stays with your licensed tax preparer.

Stop guessing what you made.

One call. We'll tell you honestly whether your books need us or not.
