Bookkeeping for e-commerce & retail
Stakeville provides e-commerce and retail bookkeeping with multi-channel reconciliation across Shopify, Stripe, PayPal, and marketplaces, matching payouts net of fees to gross sales, tracking inventory and COGS, and keeping sales tax liabilities reconciled.
E-commerce books fail in the gap between what customers paid and what hit your bank: platform fees, refunds, chargebacks, and rolling payout schedules mean the deposit is never the revenue. Book deposits as sales and your margins are fiction.
We reconcile at the payout level (gross sales, fees, refunds, and reserves matched between platform reports and bank deposits) track inventory and COGS so gross margin is real, and keep multi-state sales tax liabilities tied to filings.
Where e-commerce & retail books usually break
Deposits booked as revenue
Net payouts recorded as sales, hiding fees and overstating margin.
Refund & chargeback blindness
Returns eroding profit invisibly because nobody reconciles them.
COGS guesswork
Inventory purchases expensed randomly, making gross margin meaningless.

“Our books were 14 months behind when we found Stakeville. Three weeks later everything reconciled and our CPA filed without a single question.”
“The monthly report is one page and I actually read it. What moved, why, and what to watch. That alone is worth the fee.”
