The Essential Role of an Ecommerce Accountant for E-Commerce Business Owners

Blog Preview 43

An eCommerce business has the potential to make an individual extremely wealthy while also allowing them to start a company from the comfort of home with very little capital.

The Do-It-Yourself (DIY) appeal of this online selling approach has caused an exponential increase in the number of eCommerce businesses worldwide. Yet eCommerce businesses also have an extremely high failure rate; most experts agree that the percentage of eCommerce businesses that fail is around 80%.

One of the biggest reasons that eCommerce businesses fail is that they are created without a plan. Planning, when done right, takes inventory of current processes and products, creates actionable responses to future problems, and allows the company to grow as slowly — or quickly — as the owner desires.

Strategic planning is one of the biggest assets that Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) can bring to an eCommerce business. From fundamental accounting and taxes to knowing when to set up an LLC or a corporation, CPAs are trained to help businesses grow.

Having a CPA, especially one specialized as an Ecommerce Accountant, help with strategy is an essential component to a successful eCommerce business. E-commerce business owners who leverage the expertise of a CPA can navigate the complexities of online sales, tax regulations, and financial planning with greater ease.
