E-Commerce Accountant
Tax, accounting, and multi-state sales tax compliance for online sellers — including Shopify, Amazon, and eBay businesses.
Facing the Complexities of the Online Environment
Selling online means selling everywhere — and every state where your customers live is a state with its own nexus regulations for tax reporting. Cross-state sales create compliance obligations that most general accountants rarely see: economic nexus thresholds, marketplace facilitator rules, and sales tax registrations that stack up as you grow.
We know this terrain from both sides of the table: our team brings real-life e-commerce operating experience along with deep expertise in state nexus tax law. That's why six- and seven-figure businesses on Shopify, Amazon, and eBay turn to GT for accounting that keeps pace with their sales channels.

Beyond compliance, we work proactively to identify cost-saving opportunities, tax credits and incentives, and the entity selection that mitigates tax liabilities and increases bottom-line profitability as your volume scales.

- Full-service accounting
- Payroll processing & payroll tax reporting
- Multi-state nexus analysis
- Multi-state business tax preparation & individual income tax preparation

When does an online seller owe tax in another state?
Generally, once your sales into a state cross its economic nexus threshold — a dollar amount or transaction count that varies state by state — you're required to register and report there, even with no physical presence. Marketplace facilitator laws shift some of that burden to Amazon or eBay, but not all of it, and direct channels like your own Shopify store remain your responsibility. A nexus analysis tells you exactly where you stand before a state's notice does.
Books built for e-commerce
Marketplace payouts arrive net of fees, refunds, and reserves — recording deposits as revenue quietly misstates your books. We reconcile channel reports to your accounting so gross sales, fees, and sales tax collected are each stated correctly, which keeps both your margins honest and your filings defensible.
