Who We Are
Accounting Experts for Etsy Shop Owners
Having nice items and strong sales is not enough to run a profitable Etsy shop. Fees for listings and transactions, payment fees, VAT, and stock costs can all be included in each order and must be properly accounted for. Accounts are critical for handling your cash as your shop grows, whether you offer handcrafted things, digital downloads, or both.
We provide expert Etsy accounting services to Etsy merchants in the UK. Our team is familiar with Etsy’s price structure, the VAT implications for both digital and tangible items, and the software that most Etsy merchants use.
ETSY Accounting Made Simple
Keep Your Etsy Finances Accurate with Specialist Etsy Bookkeeping
Running an Etsy business involves more than just keeping track of earnings. To determine how much profit you make, you must account for the costs associated with listing fees, transaction fees, payment processing fees, returns, shipping, VAT, and advertising. As your order volume increases, it becomes more difficult to keep accurate records without adequate processes in place. Our Etsy bookkeepers can reconcile the fees and payout transactions against your Etsy statement, ensure that all accounting reports are completed appropriately, and keep accurate records in accordance with HMRC regulations. We can help you whether you run a single Etsy business or several markets.

Common Pain Points
Common Financial Challenges for Etsy Sellers
Operating an Etsy shop requires a lot of accounting concerns that many sellers frequently overlook, ranging from balancing transaction fees to dealing with VAT on tangible and intangible goods. Proper accounting and an appropriate VAT strategy can assist you in protecting your profit margin while still satisfying all HMRC obligations. We help ensure that nothing is forgotten and that your financial records are correct throughout the year.
Etsy Fee and Transaction Reconciliation
Each purchase from your Etsy shop may involve a variety of expenses, including listing fees, transaction fees, payment processing fees, discounts, and even refunds. Manually reconciling these transactions is a lengthy and error-prone operation. Our accountants can reconcile your Etsy transactions, ensuring that all of them are appropriately recorded.
VAT on Etsy Fees and Digital Products
Etsy sellers can be unsure about the VAT handling of their transactions, the platform’s fees, and the selling of digital items, particularly when dealing with overseas consumers. We check your VAT status and help ensure that all documentation and VAT submissions are proper. This helps to reduce overpayment or underpayment of VAT and other associated concerns.
Stock and Cost Management
Knowing the actual costs involved in producing the items you make or source is critical for maximising profitability. Inaccurate cost accounting and missing resources make it difficult to determine which things generate a profit. We provide exact cost of goods sold accounting so that you can have a comprehensive understanding of product profitability.
Lack of Clarity Around Business Profitability
Many Etsy sellers assess their performance only on total sales or bank balances. However, many other things can influence real profitability, including fees, packing, promotion, shipping, refunds, and so forth. As a result, we provide well-structured management accounts to assist you in determining the genuine margins. This can help you assess your shop’s progress.
