Specifically for online shops
What we pay extra attention to for online shops.
Shop and payment integrations
We connect Shopify, WooCommerce, Lightspeed, Mollie and Stripe, so orders, payments and payouts reconcile automatically.
Returns and refunds
We process returns correctly, so your revenue and VAT are right and your return rate is visible.
Stock and margin
With an accurate cost of sales, you see your real margin for each period, even after advertising and shipping costs.
Costs we often see for online shops.
Business expenses reduce your profit and therefore your tax. We make sure they are booked correctly and, where possible, that you make use of the investment deduction (investeringsaftrek).
