Amazon, Shopify, Etsy — an accountant who speaks e-comm.
Inventory accounting that ties out. Nexus by state, tracked. Stripe and PayPal 1099-Ks reconciled against your platforms' gross. The books your operator actually trusts.
Inventory accounting that's wrong shows phantom profit and inflates tax. Sales-tax nexus crossed without registration is back-tax exposure with penalties in every state you triggered. 1099-K gross that doesn't reconcile to your platform settlement is a CP2000 waiting to land.
How we fix it.
Platform integration
A2X or Webgility into Xero. Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, Walmart — each platform integrated with its own settlement reports.
Inventory + COGS
FIFO or specific-ID inventory method, locked in. Monthly close ties COGS to actual unit movements, not estimates.
Nexus review
Where you have physical presence + where you crossed economic-nexus thresholds. Registration, monthly filings, marketplace-facilitator exemptions documented.
Annual return
Federal + state, multi-state apportionment if needed. 1099-K reconciliation to platform gross to deposited funds. No mismatches.

Inventory accounting — FIFO or specific ID, locked.
Most sellers default to whatever their integration does. We pick a method, document it, and apply it consistently. Switching methods is an IRS filing, not a checkbox.
Economic nexus — Wayfair after, not before.
Most states have economic thresholds ($100K sales or 200 transactions). Cross them and you owe sales tax in that state from then on — regardless of where you are. We track thresholds monthly.
Marketplace facilitator vs. you.
Amazon and similar marketplaces collect and remit sales tax for you in most states — but not all, and not on all SKUs. Direct sales (Shopify) are entirely on you. We map who collects what.
Pricing, on the page.
Published prices · Quoted in writing before any work startsHow it works: one annual fee, half paid at engagement and half before your return is filed. Everything past the package baseline is a published add-on at a fixed price, so nobody counts forms. Books, payroll and sales tax are the only monthly items, because they are the only monthly work. See the full grid and every add-on or get your price in a minute.
One practitioner. Every file, personally led.
Cody is an IRS Enrolled Agent with an MBA — a solo practitioner with a small support team, working out of Lakeland, Florida. He is also currently in law school.
Every client engagement is led by Cody personally. The firm stays deliberately small so the work stays deliberately careful — and so when the IRS calls, the person who picks up is the person who filed your return.
Common questions.
If yours isn't here, ask it on the intake — we read every one before the first call.
I sell on Amazon — do I owe sales tax everywhere?
Amazon collects and remits in every state that has marketplace-facilitator laws (most of them). What you owe directly is for sales outside that — your own Shopify, your own brand site. We map it.
FIFO or weighted average?
FIFO is most common for e-comm and matches most platforms' default. Specific ID is occasional. Weighted average is unusual. We pick once and stick with it.
Do I need an inventory management system?
Highly recommended past ~50 SKUs. Cin7, SkuVault, Linnworks are common. We integrate.
What about international sales (VAT)?
Different game. Pan-EU VAT, UK VAT, OSS. We can advise on US implications and refer to a VAT specialist for the EU side.
When should I become an S-Corp?
When net profit reliably clears the $80K+ threshold and operations are stable. Earlier with multi-owner setups.
Stripe 1099-K shows more than my deposits.
Gross sales (before refunds, fees, processor holds) vs. net deposits. They never match without reconciliation; that's exactly the work.
