Sound familiar?
Still not sure what your tax bill is this year?
Ecommerce accounting is messier than it looks from the outside. Platform payouts do not match bank deposits. VAT rules shift depending on where your customers are. Stock, returns, and fees all need treating differently. Most general accountants patch something together at year-end and call it done.
- Hours lost reconciling platform payouts against bank statements each month
- No clear picture of your VAT position until it is almost too late
- Tax bill arriving as a surprise because no one flagged it sooner
What sorted looks like
Clean books month by month. VAT monitored continuously. Your tax position visible well before any deadline arrives. That is the standard, not the exception.
- Platform income reconciled monthly so year-end is never a scramble
- VAT threshold and liability tracked throughout the year, not at the last moment
- Tax bill calculated early so you can plan for it, not react to it
- Fixed monthly fee so the cost is predictable and there are no surprises there either

What the monthly fee covers
Three areas where ecommerce sellers typically have the most to gain from getting the numbers right consistently, rather than once a year.
Bookkeeping and Platform Reconciliation
Your sales, fees, refunds, and settlement reports are reconciled against your bank account each month. Nothing sits unresolved until year-end. We work with Xero, QuickBooks Online, and FreeAgent, so there is no need to change how you already operate if you have a preference.
Included as standardVAT Returns and MTD Compliance
Your VAT liability is tracked continuously rather than calculated in a rush at quarter-end. We handle Making Tax Digital submissions and monitor whether your turnover is approaching the registration threshold. You will not wake up to a registration obligation you were not expecting.
Included as standardTax Planning and Year-End Accounts
Your corporation tax or Self Assessment liability is calculated well before any deadline, giving you time to plan rather than scramble. Year-end accounts are filed accurately and on time. Where there are legitimate ways to reduce what you owe, we raise them proactively.
Included as standardConsistently rated five stars on Google
Six verified reviews from owner-managed businesses across different sectors, all rating the service five stars. Different businesses, consistent experience.

Why London ecommerce sellers choose us
There are plenty of accountants who will file your return once a year. These are the reasons clients tend to stay.
No explaining how ecommerce works
We already know how Amazon, Shopify, and other platforms pay out. Settlement reports, referral fees, FBA charges, and return adjustments are familiar territory. You will not spend twenty minutes explaining your business model before getting a useful answer.
Your tax bill visible in advance
Most accountants tell you what you owe after the year has ended. We calculate your tax position throughout the year so you know what is coming and can plan for it. Unexpected tax bills are largely avoidable when the books are kept current.
Questions answered the day you ask
Contact form enquiries get a same-day reply. Phone and email are answered quickly. If something changes in your business and you need to know how it affects your tax position, you will get an answer that week, not after a fortnight of waiting.
Up and running in four straightforward steps
The process is designed to take as little of your time as possible. Most clients are set up and comfortable within a couple of weeks.
Get in touch
Call 0161 706 1523, email info@edwardharris.co.uk, or use the contact form and we will reply the same day. Initial conversations are free and without pressure. There is no obligation to proceed.
Free initial conversation
We discuss your ecommerce setup, your current pain points, and what good looks like for your business. You will leave the call knowing exactly what is included and what the monthly fee is. No vague proposals.
We handle the transition
If you are switching from another accountant, we manage the handover. If your books need catching up, we do that too. You do not need to do much beyond sharing access to your accounts and platforms.
Focus on the business
Your books are current, your VAT is filed, and your tax position is visible throughout the year. The parts of running an ecommerce business that used to sit at the back of your mind are handled. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“We have been working with Hasan for almost a year. He’s been very helpful providing us with knowledge as new business owners. It’s great we can WhatsApp for general queries, making communication more efficient.”
Things London ecommerce sellers usually ask
Do you understand how ecommerce platforms actually pay out — fees, settlements, returns and all?
Yes. We work with sellers on Amazon, Shopify, eBay, and similar platforms regularly. Settlement reports, referral fees, fulfilment charges, and return adjustments are a normal part of what we reconcile. You will not need to explain how your platform works before we can give you a useful answer.
What does it cost and what is included in the monthly fee?
Pricing is fixed and agreed upfront based on your business size and what you need. There are no hourly rates and no surprise invoices. A typical package for an ecommerce seller covers bookkeeping, VAT returns, year-end accounts, and corporation tax or Self Assessment. We will give you a specific figure in the initial conversation.
My books are behind. Is that a problem if I want to switch?
It is not unusual. Many clients come to us with a backlog — sometimes months, sometimes longer. We handle the catch-up work as part of the onboarding process. There may be a one-off fee for significant catch-up depending on how far behind things are, and we will be upfront about that before any work begins.
Is there a long-term contract I have to sign?
No. There is no minimum term. If the service is not right for your business, you can leave. You will receive your records and everything you are entitled to. We would rather earn the relationship month by month than lock anyone in.
Do you handle VAT for ecommerce sellers who sell to customers outside the UK?
Yes, and it is worth getting right early. Selling into the EU, for example, involves different VAT obligations depending on whether you are selling B2C or B2B, the volume of sales, and which platforms you use. We will assess your specific situation and make sure your VAT position is compliant and properly structured.
Can you help me understand what my actual profit is, not just what I owe HMRC?
That is a reasonable thing to want to know. Management accounts give you a regular view of revenue, costs, and profit so you are not waiting until the year-end accounts to understand how the business is performing. We can include this as part of your package if it is useful.
Less time on the books, more on the business.
Fixed monthly fee, no long-term contract, and questions answered the day you ask them. Initial conversations are free and without pressure.
