• Assist clients through their initial three month-end closing processes.

• Resolve discrepancies where the payment processor (Stripe/PayPal) and the shopping cart (Shopify) do not match.

• Provide guidance to clients regarding Sales Tax configuration (e.g., ‘Are you using Avalara, or do we need to manually map the tax liability account?’).

• Knowledge of e-commerce concepts: Gross vs. Net Sales, Merchant Fees, Chargebacks, Returns, and COGS (Cost of Goods Sold).

• Understanding of the distinction between Cash vs. Accrual inventory accounting.

• Knowledge of Gross-to-Net logic: Understanding why a $100 sale leads to a $96.50 deposit and how to properly record that $3.50 fee.

• Soft Skills: Consultative Mindset: Ability to clarify complex accounting concepts to non-accountant business owners without using jargon.

• Patience & Empathy: You have a passion for helping people resolve issues and can effectively de-escalate frustrated clients.
