The Old Process

3 Days. Every Month. Still Wrong.

Multiple CSV exports from each channel. Summary statements from Amazon and Shopify that don't reconcile to orders. An endless stream of questions from your bookkeeper. Three days of manual work to close a single month, and the result still required caveats.

A 0.3% error rate at 500 orders is a few wrong entries. At 5,000 orders, it's 15 errors compounding into next month's close. The problem isn't your team. It's the infrastructure they're working around.

Software Automates. Specialists Certify.

Always-on automation handles every transaction in real time. At the end of every month, a Webgility certified specialist takes over, reviewing the close, reconciling any flagged items, and certifying that your books are complete and accurate.

Continuous

Automated reconciliation

Every order, fee, payout, and refund, processed in real time, 24/7. Pre-post validation runs on every transaction. Anomalies are flagged automatically.

Monthly

Specialist review

At month-end, a Webgility certified specialist reviews every flagged exception, reconciles payout totals against settlement records, and verifies all transactions posted correctly.

Certified

Books certified

The close is not complete until the specialist signs off. Every order, every fee, every payout accounted for. Not an estimate. Not a review. Certified books.

✦ Certified
Everything Ecommerce

Every channel. Classified correctly, and always reconciled.

The scope of a certified close is the full range of financial events in your ecommerce operation — not summaries, not blended settlements, not end-of-month journal entries. Every transaction, classified and reconciled at the individual order level.

Channel Settlements
  • Every Shopify payout reconciled against orders and fees inside it
  • Every Amazon bi-weekly settlement matched transaction by transaction
  • Every Walmart cycle and eBay release fully reconciled
Platform Fees
  • FBA fulfillment, referral, storage, and advertising — classified separately
  • Shopify Payments and payment processor charges to correct accounts
  • No blended deductions — every fee to the right line
Inventory & Fulfillment
  • Synced across channels and warehouses in real time
  • Updated with every order, every return, every fulfillment event
  • Inventory position locked at accurate count when period closes
Returns, Refunds & Taxes
  • Returns credited correctly, linked back to the original order
  • Refunds reducing the correct channel balance, not left uncredited
  • Channel-collected sales tax mapped to liability accounts by jurisdiction

At the end of the month, a specialist verifies that all of it reconciled correctly. Every payout, fee, return across every ecommerce channel balance. That verification is the certification.

The Guarantee

Not just closed. Closed right.

Channels grow, business logics change, and exceptions you never even considered occur. But that shouldn't affect your books. Just syncing your data is not enough. Reconciling it with order-level details gets you tighter. Having an ecommerce accounting expert to verify, handle exceptions, and close guarantees confidence.

The Value

The cost of Almost Right is every decision made on wrong numbers.

An uncertified close looks mostly right. Totals match and your bookkeeper signs off a blended P&L at +22%. You cut a cake, but have an unexplained pit in the stomach.

Why? Because somewhere, Amazon's FBA fees increased 12% without appearing in your COGS. A refund from 30 days ago that should have reduced your Amazon balance is sitting uncredited. The SKU you've been scaling is running at negative margin after fulfillment fees.

Ecommerce Books Closed eliminates the approximately from your books. Not because it improves your accounting process — because it replaces approximation with verification, every month.

What "Almost Right" Costs
FBA fee increase (+12% QoQ) undetected in COGS
Uncredited refund sitting in Amazon balance for 30 days
Top SKU showing +22% blended margin, actual: negative after fees
What Certified Looks Like
Every fee increase classified and visible in the period it happened
Every refund credited and reconciled in the correct billing cycle
Per-channel, per-SKU margin calculated after every cost
What a Certified Close Looks Like

Every line reconciled. Every exception resolved. Delivered monthly.
