For DTC and marketplace brands, the bookkeeper reconciles Shopify, Amazon, and 3PL payouts against bank deposits, books COGS by SKU, and gives founders true contribution margin every month.
Every Bookkeeping VA we place in e-commerce works against PCI-aware order handling and platform policy compliance. We solve the day-to-day pain DTC and marketplace brands feel most: promo-cycle volume spikes that break SLAs. They onboard onto your e-commerce stack (typically Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, Gorgias) inside the first week, with your SOPs as the source of truth.
In the first 30 days, your Bookkeeping VA for E-commerce ships the weekly reconciliation summary (weekly) and the ar aging & ap run (weekly), plus the recurring work that defines the role: categorize transactions and reconcile bank, credit card, and merchant accounts weekly, and process accounts payable — bill entry, vendor payments, and 1099 prep. Your account manager runs a weekly review against the role's SOP and the e-commerce-specific checklist so quality is measured, not assumed.
