You run a Shopify store. We make sure the numbers tell you the truth.
We do monthly Shopify and ecommerce bookkeeping with your business tax return included, and it starts with a free 30-minute call. Payouts, fees, refunds, and multi-channel sales can make your books lie to you without you ever knowing it. You shouldn’t have to guess what you can pay yourself.
Can you set up books for a new Shopify store from day one?
Yes. Starting clean is far easier than a cleanup later. We set up QuickBooks Online with accounts built for an online store, connect your payouts through A2X so each one is split into sales, fees and refunds, and reconcile every payout to the bank from your first month. A CPA reviews the books monthly.
Sound familiar?
The questions Shopify owners actually lose sleep over.
Your Shopify payout never quite matches what you think you sold.
You can’t tell how much of your revenue is actually profit once fees and refunds come out.
Sales tax across states feels like a minefield you’re hoping to avoid stepping on.
You genuinely don’t know what’s safe to pay yourself this month.
Tax season is always a scramble to reconstruct a year you never tracked closely.
What we actually do
Built around how Shopify stores really work.
Payout reconciliation
Every Shopify payout separated into gross sales, fees, refunds, and chargebacks, so what's in QuickBooks matches what actually happened.
Connector fluency
Comfortable working with A2X and connector-based platforms in that same category: the tools that turn raw payout data into books that make sense.
Multi-channel mapped cleanly
Shopify, wholesale, marketplaces: each channel reconciled on its own terms, then rolled up into one clear picture.
Inventory & real margins
Inventory and cost of goods tracked so your margins are real numbers, not guesses, even as SKUs, restocks, and bundles pile up.
Ad spend that reconciles
Facebook, Google, and TikTok ad spend categorized and tied back to sales, so you can see your true profit after the cost of getting each customer.
Owner pay & cash
A cash system that sets aside taxes and profit first, then tells you what you can actually pay yourself, not just what happens to be sitting in the account.
Your Shopify payout is not your revenue. We know the difference, down to the penny.The Smoky Mountain way.
Based in East Tennessee
Shopify bookkeeping near you: Knoxville-based, remote-friendly, wherever your store ships from.
We’re based in Knoxville and work with Shopify sellers across East Tennessee, Nashville, and remotely nationwide. Your store doesn’t need to be local. Most of our clients aren’t. The same boutique attention applies either way.
Who we’re for, and who we’re not for.
A good fit: Owner-run Shopify and ecommerce stores that have outgrown doing the books themselves or a high-volume online bookkeeping service, and want a CPA who knows their numbers.
Not a fit: companies that need an audit or reviewed financial statements, venture-backed companies, or multi-entity international groups. We would rather tell you on the first call than three months in.
We are based in Knoxville, Tennessee, and serve these businesses remotely across the US, not only in Knoxville.
Pricing
One package, three levels
Every monthly plan includes bookkeeping and your business and personal tax return. The Profit First cash system is an optional add-on if you want to know what you can pay yourself.

Shopify bookkeeping questions, answered.
Do you do bookkeeping for Shopify stores?
Yes, we do monthly Shopify and ecommerce bookkeeping, and every monthly plan includes your business and personal tax return. Payouts, fees, refunds, and sales from other channels are reconciled every month so your books match what actually happened.
Why doesn't my Shopify payout match my sales?
Because a Shopify payout is not your revenue. Each payout nets together gross sales, fees, refunds, and chargebacks, so we separate every payout into those pieces and record each one in QuickBooks.
Do you work with A2X?
Yes, we use QuickBooks Online plus A2X for Shopify and ecommerce sellers. We are also comfortable with other connector based platforms in the same category, the tools that turn raw payout data into books that make sense.
Can you handle wholesale and marketplace sales too?
Yes, each channel is reconciled on its own terms and then rolled up into one clear picture. Inventory and cost of goods are tracked so your margins are real numbers, and ad spend is tied back to sales so you can see true profit.
Do I need to be in Tennessee to work with you?
No, your store does not need to be local. We are based in Knoxville and work with Shopify sellers across East Tennessee, Nashville, and remotely nationwide, and most of our clients are not local.
