Channel reconciliation
Connect sales reports, refunds, fees, and settlements so each channel can be reviewed against cash received.
Industry perspectives
From storefront sales
to a clearer bottom line.
Bring sales channels, processor payouts, inventory records, and operating costs into a more understandable accounting picture.
Discuss your needsThe bigger picture
Your business model. A more useful view.
An online sale is not the same thing as the net deposit that arrives in your bank account. Refunds, platform fees, chargebacks, shipping, and settlement timing can separate the two. Recording deposits without understanding the underlying activity can make sales and margin difficult to interpret.
Our approach starts with your channels and the records each platform provides. We map the flow from the customer order to the payment processor and bank, identify where activity is already recorded, and build a reconciliation process that reduces duplication.
Where we focus
Practical support.
Clear priorities.
Every engagement begins with a defined scope. These are the areas we can discuss for your needs.
Inventory visibility
Coordinate inventory information and purchasing activity with the accounting method and reporting needs agreed for your business.
Margin conversations
Separate product costs and relevant selling costs to support more useful discussions of profitability.
Tax coordination
Organize income tax records and identify state sales-tax questions that need a separate nexus or filing review.
Make settlements understandable
A platform payout can combine multiple days of sales and subtract several kinds of costs. We use source reports to identify the components and explain reconciling differences. Consistent treatment of refunds, gift cards, fees, and clearing accounts helps the books reflect the underlying activity rather than only the net cash movement.
Know where federal and state questions differ
Form 1099-K reports payment activity and should be reconciled with your own records; it is not a measure of net profit. State sales-tax responsibilities are a separate question. Marketplace collection does not automatically resolve every seller obligation. The required analysis depends on the states, products, channels, and activities involved.
Can you work with multiple sales channels?
Yes, subject to access to suitable reports and an agreed reconciliation scope. The number of channels, currencies, processors, and integrations affects the work involved.
Is the amount on Form 1099-K my taxable profit?
No. The form concerns payment transactions. Your return also depends on the nature of the activity and properly supported adjustments and expenses. Reconcile the form with the underlying records rather than treating it as a profit statement.
Good decisions start with a conversation
