Sound familiar?
Selling online is the easy part.
Reconciling Amazon settlement reports, tracking marketplace fees, figuring out when you hit the VAT threshold, working out what is actually profit once platform charges are stripped out — none of that gets easier the more you sell. Most accountants want a tidy set of books. Ecommerce rarely delivers that.
- Hours lost reconciling marketplace payouts against your bank statements
- No clear picture of what you owe in VAT or Corporation Tax this year
- Bookkeeping months behind because the day job always comes first
What sorted looks like
Clean records every month, your tax position visible in real time, and an accountant who already knows how marketplace platforms pay out before you need to explain it.
- Marketplace transactions reconciled monthly — no year-end scramble
- Tax liability visible well before HMRC sends the reminder
- Bookkeeping handled on a fixed fee, no catch-up panic
- Fixed monthly cost agreed upfront — no surprise bills
What ecommerce clients say
Clients come to DG Accountancy with books in varying states. They tend to leave with considerably less to worry about and a clear picture of where they stand.
Huge thanks to Daniel for helping ourselves with our taxes! Being self employed means we all have to do this ourselves which is just not possible on top of our work load. Thanks again! We will be using you again!
Absolutely recommend Daniel for all and any accounts related matter. Would use his expertise again. He is the most amazing person, very professional, explaining every detail meticulously in order to finalise our accounts. A huge thank you Daniel.
Everything your ecommerce business needs
From monthly bookkeeping to VAT compliance, tax returns and proactive advice — all on a single fixed monthly fee tailored to your turnover and structure.
Clean Books Every Month
Xero is set up and connected to your marketplace and bank accounts so transactions are categorised and reconciled monthly. Platform fees, returns, refunds and payment processor charges are all accounted for correctly. No shoe-boxes of receipts, no year-end data entry marathon.
Included as standardVAT Returns and MTD Compliance
Your VAT position is monitored so the registration threshold is never a surprise. Quarterly returns are filed on time under Making Tax Digital requirements. If you sell across UK and EU marketplaces, the VAT implications of each channel are factored in from the outset.
Included as standardTax Planning and Annual Accounts
Whether you trade as a sole trader or through a limited company, your Self Assessment or Corporation Tax return is prepared accurately and filed well ahead of the deadline. Daniel will flag legitimate deductions — stock write-offs, home office costs, platform subscription fees — so you keep more of what you earn.
Proactive, not reactiveConsistently five stars across every engagement
Eight Google reviews, all five stars. Clients range from sole traders filing their first return to limited companies with ongoing monthly support.
Turned Around Fast, Done Thoroughly

Why ecommerce sellers choose us
There are plenty of generalist accountants. Fewer who already understand how Amazon pays out, why your bank balance and your profit look nothing alike, and what MTD means for an online seller.
No Explaining How Ecommerce Works
FBA fees, referral charges, settlement reports, payment processor deductions — you will not spend the first meeting explaining how your platform works before getting a useful answer. Daniel works with online sellers and marketplace traders as part of his regular client base. The context is already there.
Tax Position Visible Year-Round
Ecommerce margins can move fast. Management accounts and quarterly reviews mean your tax liability is visible throughout the year, not discovered in January. If a decision about stock, advertising spend or a new sales channel has a tax angle, there is an answer available before you commit.
Questions Answered the Day You Ask
DG Accountancy is consistently noted for response speed. If a VAT question comes up mid-campaign or you need to know the tax treatment of a new revenue stream, you get a plain-English answer the same day — not a week later after it has become urgent.
Up and running in four steps
Most ecommerce clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process is designed to take as little of your time as possible.
Book a free discovery call
A short conversation about your business, your platforms, your current set-up and what you actually need. No sales pitch — just an honest assessment of whether it is a good fit. You will leave the call knowing exactly what happens next.
Receive your fixed-fee quote
A written quote tailored to your business structure, turnover and the services you need. Everything is agreed upfront. No hourly rates, no open-ended retainers, no surprises at year-end.
Xero setup and onboarding
Your Xero account is set up or tidied up, bank feeds and marketplace integrations are connected, and any historical catch-up work is scoped and priced clearly. You provide access; we do the rest.
Ongoing support, proactively
Compliance runs on time, books are current and your tax position is visible. When something in your business changes — a new marketplace, a VAT question, a decision about incorporating — there is an accountant you can actually get hold of.
“Professional service. This company does my accounts every year and i never have to worry about it. Speedy as well. I am a very happy customer.”
Things ecommerce sellers usually ask
Do you understand how Amazon, eBay and Shopify actually pay out?
Yes. Settlement reports, FBA fees, referral charges, payment processor deductions and the gap between gross sales and what lands in your bank account are all part of the day-to-day work. You will not need to spend time explaining the mechanics of how your platform works before the conversation becomes useful.
What does it cost and what is included?
Pricing is fixed monthly and agreed upfront — no hourly rates and no end-of-year surprises. The fee depends on your business structure (sole trader or limited company), turnover and the services you need. Bookkeeping, VAT returns, year-end accounts and tax returns are available as part of a package. Request a quote and you will have a written figure within one working day.
My books are months behind. Is that a problem?
It is not unusual. Most clients arrive with bookkeeping that has drifted. Catch-up work is scoped and priced separately before anything starts, so you know the cost upfront. Once the backlog is cleared, the monthly process keeps things current going forward.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Monthly rolling engagement. If it is not working, you give notice and leave with clean, up-to-date records. There is no exit penalty and no awkward handover process.
I sell on multiple platforms — Amazon, eBay and my own Shopify store. Can you handle all of them?
Yes. Multiple sales channels are reconciled within a single Xero account. Each platform’s fee structure, payout timing and reporting format is handled appropriately so your overall profit picture is accurate across all channels, not just the biggest one.
How do I know when I need to register for VAT?
Your turnover is monitored on an ongoing basis so the VAT registration threshold is not something you cross without warning. If you are approaching it, you will know in advance — with time to plan rather than scrambling to register retrospectively. The implications for pricing and margins are worth understanding before it happens, not after.
Less time on the books, more on the business.
Fixed monthly fee, Xero-based bookkeeping, VAT compliance and plain-English tax advice — all handled by an ACCA-qualified accountant who already knows how ecommerce works.
