The Challenge

A CPA firm serving eCommerce brands had clients with:

  • Recurring Revenue Confusion: No clear view of monthly vs. annual plan revenue.
  • Sales Tax Risk: Multi-state subscriptions created nexus risks.
  • Inventory Gaps: COGS wasn't matching product cycles or shipping delays.

Our Solution

We built a recurring-revenue eCom accounting workflow:

Subscription & Tax Management

  • Integrated Recharge, Shopify, and Stripe into QuickBooks.
  • Automated Avalara-based multi-state tax filings.

Inventory & Shipping Alignment

  • Tracked COGS per box drop, factoring in variable shipping and bundling costs.
  • Built dashboards showing churn, LTV, and CAC by product tier.

The Results

After just six months of working with us, the business experienced tangible improvements:

Metric Before After
Sales Tax Filing Errors High Risk 100% Nexus Coverage
Monthly Recurring Revenue Not Reported MRR/ARR Tracked & Reported
CPA Staff Involvement High 80% Time Savings

Key Takeaways

  • Subscription brands need revenue clarity and tax compliance.
  • CPA firms benefit from automated COGS and recurring revenue tracking.
  • Outsourced teams reduce in-house stress during peak months.
