What is eCommerce Accounting?
eCommerce accounting is a unique practice that involves the accurate tracking and reporting of financial transactions related to online businesses. This unique practice involves the accurate tracking of income, expenses, and other financial transactions to ensure that your business is in compliance with tax laws. Unlike traditional accounting, eCommerce accounting requires a deeper understanding of the unique financial needs of online businesses, such as multiple sales channels, inventory, and shipping. By accurately tracking and reviewing these financial transactions, eCommerce accounting provides you with a clear picture of your business’s financial situation, allowing you to make informed decisions while remaining in compliance with all applicable laws.
