Know your real margin, channel by channel.

We fill your finance seat with a person who knows online-store books. Agents split every Shopify and Stripe payout into sales, fees and refunds. Your person checks each split, holds anything that does not add up, and owns the margin.

549 job postings in our pulls name both QuickBooks and Shopify. 493 name QuickBooks and Stripe. US postings, Mar 22 to Oct 3, 2026, from our own pulls. The full report

What is different about the books

Store books break in the same four places.

The agents do itYour person does it
What goes wrong
What the agents do
What your person does
01

Marketplace payouts

Shopify deposits a net amount, so revenue in the books is short by every fee and refund.

Agents

Split each Shopify and Stripe payout into sales, fees and refunds, and match it to the bank.

Your person

Enters Amazon and marketplace settlements from the reports they export, and checks every split.

02

Sales tax by state

You collect tax in many states and learn a return was due when the notice arrives.

Agents

Pull the figures for each state from Avalara or your store.

Your person

Prepares and files the returns, state by state, before each one is due.

03

Inventory and cost of goods

Margin looks great all year, then the year-end count takes it back.

Agents

Enter supplier and freight bills as they come in.

Your person

Trues up inventory and cost of goods every month from your counts and your 3PL's reports.

04

Many channels, one set of books

The store, Amazon and wholesale all land in one sales line, so nobody knows which channel pays.

Agents

Code ad and software charges as they post, and match bank and card lines every day.

Your person

Closes the month by the 10th, with margin shown for each channel.

Your person checks every line the agents do. The agents never make the judgment calls.

Who does what

The agents split the payouts. Your person owns the margin.

Work with a right answer goes to software from week one. Your person checks every agent result and keeps the judgment calls. Anything that moves money waits for a person.

The roles online stores post

Which seat are you filling?

The same person and agents, sized to the job you posted. Each role page shows what that posting usually asks for and what the seat really costs.

Median posted pay from the US postings we read in full for each role. A seat costs more than its pay once you add payroll taxes and benefits. What loaded cost means

E-commerce questions

Do the agents connect to Amazon?

Not directly. Amazon Seller Central is not among the systems the agents connect to. Your person downloads the settlement reports, and the agents work on what those reports contain. Shopify and Stripe are different: the agents connect to both.

Who files our sales tax?

Your person prepares and files the returns, and the agents pull the figures from Avalara or your store. Where you have to register and file is a decision for you and your tax adviser.

An app already syncs Shopify to our books. Do we have to stop it?

No. Your software stays as it is today. The agents check what the sync posted against the payout that reached the bank, and your person fixes what does not match.

Who counts the stock?

Your team or your 3PL. We do not staff the warehouse. Your person takes the counts and the 3PL reports and keeps cost of goods current in the books.

Our orders jump in November and December. What changes?

Mostly more payouts to match, which is agent work. Your person still checks every result, so the close still lands by the 10th.
