Sales Are Coming In From Everywhere. But Do You Actually Know Your Numbers?
Between marketplace fees, shipping costs, multi-channel inventory, payment processor holds, and ever-changing sales tax rules, ecommerce finances are uniquely complex. Moving fast is great. Moving fast without financial visibility is a recipe for margin erosion.
A Fractional CFO gives your ecommerce business the financial strategy it needs to scale profitably.
Sound Familiar?
“Revenue looks great, but after fees and returns, I can’t figure out what I actually keep.”
Marketplace commissions, payment processing fees, return shipping, and promotional discounts quietly eat into your margins. Without a clear cost-per-order analysis, top-line growth can mask a profitability problem.
“Sales tax compliance across multiple states keeps me up at night.”
Economic nexus rules mean you could owe sales tax in states where you have no physical presence. Falling behind on multi-state compliance creates liability that compounds fast.
“Inventory is tying up all my cash but I can’t afford to run out of stock.”
Overstocking drains working capital. Understocking kills revenue. Without demand forecasting and inventory financial planning, you’re constantly caught between too much and not enough.
How a Fractional CFO Drives Ecommerce Profitability
We bring senior financial leadership designed for the speed and complexity of online retail:
True Margin Analysis
We break down profitability by product, channel, and customer segment. You’ll know exactly which SKUs and sales channels drive real profit, and which ones silently drain it.
Sales Tax & Compliance
We assess your nexus obligations, set up proper tax collection, and coordinate filings across every state where you owe. No more guessing, no more accumulating risk.
Inventory Financial Planning
We connect your inventory data to your cash flow plan. Reorder points, carrying costs, and seasonal demand cycles all factor into a strategy that keeps you stocked without locking up capital.
Cash Flow & Working Capital
Payment processor holds, supplier lead times, and seasonal swings make ecommerce cash flow unpredictable. We forecast and manage your working capital so you can invest confidently in growth.
Multi-Channel Accounting
Selling on Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, and your own site means revenue flows from multiple sources with different fee structures. We consolidate everything into clean, accurate books you can trust.
