Marketplace reconciliation
Gross sales, refunds, fees, reserves, chargebacks, payment processors, and bank deposits are tied back to the accounting file.
Services
Accounting services that keep the operation connected
Monthly accounting brings payouts, fees, inventory, COGS, tax compliance, and margin reporting into one operating view, with advisory as complexity grows.
Getting started
How an engagement begins
Every engagement starts with an accounting systems review, not a quote based on revenue alone. Marketplace sellers can have the same revenue and completely different accounting complexity, so the scope is set from the actual file, not a guess.
The steps below are the outline. Explore Selling in Canada and Selling Abroad for market-specific context.
- 01 Tell us about your operations
Complete the contact form. We respond within one business day.
- 02 Accounting systems review
Every engagement starts with a review of your books, payout data, and tax position. Two to five business days with read-only access.
- 03 Findings and fixed-fee proposal
You receive a written summary of what we found and a fixed monthly fee based on your actual complexity, not a guess from a sales call.
- 04 Onboarding and ongoing delivery
Two to four weeks to operational, then monthly accounting on schedule with strategic guidance scaled to your tier.
Service workstreams
What the monthly accounting system has to cover
A useful e-commerce file does more than categorize bank transactions. It explains how money moved from customer orders to platform settlements to tax filings and management decisions.
Sales tax obligations
Registration status, marketplace collection, Shopify tax settings, input tax credits, and filing deadlines are tracked together.
Inventory, landed cost, and COGS
Supplier invoices, freight, duties, 3PL costs, FBA storage, stock timing, and COGS cut-offs are reviewed for reporting quality.
Management reporting
Financial statements are shaped for operators: channel P&L, SKU margin logic, advertising spend, cash flow, and close notes.
Engagement levels
Choose the level after the file is understood
The tiers are not packages of random features. They are levels of accounting depth, review cadence, and advisory support.
Core
For sellers with a stable channel mix and a file that mainly needs a reliable monthly close.
Cadence Monthly close + quarterly review
Includes
- Monthly bookkeeping and bank reconciliation
- Marketplace settlement reconciliation
- GST/HST tracking and filing support
- Financial statements and close notes
Boundary Not designed for deep SKU margin analysis or active cross-border expansion.

Includes
- Everything in Core
- SKU and channel margin reporting
- Inventory and cash-flow visibility

- Monthly operator review call
Boundary Not a fractional CFO relationship for acquisitions, financing, or multi-country structuring.

Start an accounting systems review Add-ons
Additional scope for expansion or clean-up
Add-ons are scoped after the accounting systems review and paired with the appropriate service level. Some are one-time projects; others become part of the recurring close.
EcomCount coordinates the Canadian reporting and accounting implications. Foreign registrations, local filings, customs matters, and legal advice are handled by qualified local providers where required.
U.S. expansion
Sales tax nexus review, registration coordination, marketplace facilitator treatment, and U.S. marketplace reconciliation.
EU Expansion Pack
VAT compliance support for Canadian sellers entering the UK and EU. Covers UK VAT registration support, EU OSS and IOSS guidance, and ongoing filing coordination. Certain EU jurisdictions, including France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Portugal, Austria, Belgium, and Denmark, require non-EU sellers to appoint a local fiscal representative. Where that applies, EcomCount coordinates registration and filings through vetted local partners.
Clean-up project
Historical books, settlement mismatches, missing tax accounts, inventory catch-up, or a file that needs repair before monthly work.
Pricing inputs
