What E-Commerce Accounting Covers — Scope, Deliverables and Who It Suits
📌 TL;DR - E-Commerce Accounting Services at a Glance
An ecommerce accountant reconciles marketplace settlements to the rupee instead of accepting the payout total. Section 194-O TDS at 0.1% and GST TCS at 0.5% are tracked into your GSTR-2B. Patron matches each Amazon, Flipkart and Shopify settlement to its commission, shipping and return deductions. RTO stock is provisioned, not ignored. Works well for D2C brands and marketplace sellers across India.
What lands in your inbox after the close is a settlement-wise reconciliation: every marketplace payout broken into gross sales, commission, shipping and returns, tied back to the revenue posted in your ledger. Alongside it sit a channel-wise margin summary, a stock position covering both your warehouse and the fulfilment centres, and a dated trial balance. Each of these carries the period it covers on its face. Sellers filing across states usually add a multi-state reconciliation walkthrough.
Ecommerce accounting services here cover settlement reconciliation, stock and returns provisioning, GST and TDS workings, plus the close itself. Workload increases when you add another marketplace, take a registration in a further state, or push more SKUs through each month. A new state widens it again. Marketplace dispute recovery, and credits claimed via the central GST portal, are handled as separate work.
