Got questions?

Can Crunch help me if I run an online shop?

Of course. Whether you're selling through your own website, online marketplaces or a mix of both, we can help take care of the financial side of your business.

Do I need an accountant as an Ecommerce business?

Not necessarily, but having an Ecommerce accountant can make managing the financial side of an online retailer business much easier. They can help with:

  • Tracking sales and income from your website and online marketplaces.
  • Keeping on top of stock, packaging, postage and other business costs.
  • Identifying allowable expenses and making sure you're claiming what you're entitled to.
  • Understanding your profit and tax position.
  • Managing VAT and your VAT responsibilities.
  • Preparing and filing your Self Assessment or Corporation Tax return.
  • Understanding the tax implications of selling overseas or importing stock.
  • Advising on your finances as your online shop grows.
Can I use Xero for my ecommerce business?

Yes, Crunch uses Xero for online retailers, giving you accounting software tailored to ecommerce. That way you can keep track of your sales, expenses, and finances. You'll also have access to certified accountants who can help you make sense of the numbers, stay on top of your accounting, and try to save on your tax bill.

Can Crunch help me keep track of my expenses as an online retailer?

Absolutely. Record your expenses through the Xero ecommerce accounting software and keep track of everything from product costs, marketplace commissions, payment fees, returns and refunds.. You can also snap photos of your receipts as you go, so you're not left sorting through a mountain of paperwork at the end of the year.

Can Crunch help me work out how much profit my shop is making?

Yes. Keeping your sales and expenses up to date gives you a clearer picture of your profit after your business costs. That's particularly useful for online retailers, where marketplace fees, payment charges, postage and fulfilment costs can quickly add up.

Do I need to pay VAT on my online sales?

It depends on your business and where you're selling. If you're VAT registered, Crunch can help you keep on top of your VAT records and submissions. Selling to customers overseas or importing stock can also bring additional VAT considerations, so it's worth speaking to an accountant about your individual circumstances.

Can Crunch help if I sell on Amazon, eBay or other marketplaces?

It depends on your business and where you're selling. If you're VAT registered, Crunch can help you keep on top of your VAT records and submissions. Selling to customers overseas or importing stock can also bring additional VAT considerations, so it's worth speaking to an accountant about your individual circumstances.

Can Crunch help if I sell on Amazon, eBay or other marketplaces?

Yes. Crunch uses Xero for Ecommerce customers, giving you the accounting tools to keep your marketplace sales and business finances organised. You’ll also have a certified accountant on hand to help with your accounts, expenses and tax, so you don’t have to figure it all out yourself.

Can Crunch help if I sell overseas or import stock?

Yes. Selling to customers overseas or importing stock from abroad can make the tax side of an online retailer more complicated. A Crunch accountant can help you understand the UK tax considerations and what you need to keep track of.

Can I get my Ecommerce bookkeeping done for me?

Yes. If you'd rather spend your time running your shop than keeping your books up to date, you can upgrade and have your bookkeeping done for you. It's an optional service, so you can choose the level of support that works for your business.

Can Crunch do my Self Assessment?

Of course. Our certified accountants can prepare and file your Self Assessment tax return for you, including reviewing your income and allowable expenses. You can also ask your accountant questions about your tax bill, expenses or Self Assessment deadlines.
