E-Commerce Accountant
Tax, accounting, plus multi-state sales tax compliance for online sellers on Shopify, Amazon, and eBay.
Facing the Complexities of the Online Environment
Every state your customers live in sets its own nexus rules. Cross-state selling stacks up obligations most general accountants rarely handle: economic nexus thresholds, marketplace facilitator rules, sales tax registrations in each new state.
Our team combines e-commerce operating experience with state nexus tax law. Sellers on Shopify, Amazon, and eBay use GT for accounting that keeps pace with their channels.

When does an online seller owe tax in another state?
Once your sales into a state cross its economic nexus threshold (a dollar amount or transaction count, set state by state), you must register and report there, with or without a physical presence. Marketplace facilitator laws move part of that burden to Amazon or eBay. Direct channels like your own Shopify store stay yours. A nexus analysis tells you where you stand before a state notice does.
Books built for e-commerce
Marketplace payouts arrive net of fees, refunds, reserves, so recording the deposit as revenue misstates your books. We reconcile channel reports to your accounting, stating gross sales, fees, plus sales tax collected separately. Your margins stay honest and your filings hold up.
