E-Commerce & Online Sellers

A $40 sale. Amazon takes $6. Ads took $8. Shipping cost $5. The product cost $12. What's left? Exactly.

Everyone Takes a Cut

You sold a product for $40. Nice. Now let’s do the math.

Amazon takes 15%. That’s $6. Payment processing takes another $1.20. You spent $8 acquiring that customer through ads. Shipping cost $5.40. The product cost you $12. FBA storage fees, returns reserve, maybe a refund or two sprinkled in.

That $40 sale? You kept $7. Maybe. You won’t know for sure until someone actually tracks it.

This is e-commerce. Everyone takes a cut before you do. The businesses that thrive are the ones who know exactly how much is left after everyone else gets paid.

What Did That Product Actually Cost?

The supplier invoice says $8.50 per unit. That’s not your cost. That’s where it starts.

Add freight from the manufacturer. Duties if it crossed a border. Inspection fees if you used one. Shipping to FBA or your 3PL. Storage until it sells. The polybag and label. The return that came back unsellable.

Your true cost landed is probably 40% higher than the number on the supplier invoice. Price your product based on the wrong number and you’re losing money on every sale while your revenue dashboard looks great.

Landed Cost Tracking

Every cost that touches the product, tracked to the SKU. Not the invoice price. The real number.

Margin by Product

Which SKUs actually make money after all fees, all costs, all returns? We help you find the winners and kill the losers.

Sales Tax in States You'll Never Visit

You’re in Utah. You’ve never been to Pennsylvania. You don’t know anyone in Pennsylvania. But you shipped 200 orders there last year and now Pennsylvania would like to have a conversation about sales tax.

Economic nexus changed everything. Sell enough into a state and you owe tax there. Different thresholds. Different rates. Different filing frequencies. Different rules about what’s taxable. Multiply that by however many states you’re shipping to.

Most sellers ignore this until a notice arrives. By then there’s back tax, penalties, and interest. We help you get compliant before that happens.

Nexus Tracking

Where do you have sales tax obligations? We monitor your sales by state and flag when you cross thresholds.

Filing and Remittance

Registered, collecting, and filing in the states that require it. Monthly, quarterly, or annually. We handle it.

Inventory Is Trapped Cash

Your P&L says you’re profitable. Your bank account says otherwise. Where’s the disconnect?

It’s sitting in a warehouse. That inventory you ordered three months ago was cash. Now it’s units waiting to sell. Until they do, that money is gone. Order too much and you’re cash poor no matter how good your margins look.

E-commerce cash flow is counterintuitive. Growth makes it worse. More inventory, more ads, more cash out the door before revenue catches up. We help you see the full picture so you’re not surprised when profit doesn’t equal cash.
