Half an hour, free, no obligation. Tell us how you sell and what’s not working, and we’ll tell you what we’d do about it.
Every question answered within two working days. That's an SLA, not an intention.
Our connector pulls your sales straight out of Amazon, eBay, Etsy and Shopify, so the numbers are right and nothing gets typed in twice. Most sellers pay £50–£100 a month for a third-party tool. Ours is included.
We specialise in Ecommerce - not an ecommerce page bolted onto a high-street practice.
On the call we’ll go through how you sell, where you sell, your VAT position and anything HMRC has sent you. You’ll get specific advice whether or not you engage us.
Great people speaking plain English that small business people like me can understand.
I am very thankful for the support by the team of Your E-commerce Accountant. Grace Morphew is very professional and kind who helps with every question you may have. Thank you
Been using Ben and his team from Your Ecommerce Accountant for the last 3 months — top class service and communication. They have been a great relief for me and my brother running a start up in the UK — highly recommend them. No hidden costs, great service and get the job done when asked.
I've been using Your Ecommerce Accountants for the past two years and couldn't be happier with their service. Ben has always been very helpful, approachable whenever I've needed support. It's good to have someone reliable who understands the needs of an e-commerce business.
I've been working with Ben and the rest of the team for the best part of 10 months, so happy to have engaged him in regards to my HMRC affairs. We are getting through it slowly but surely. Overall a wholesome experience. Thank you Your Ecommerce Accountant.
Ben was really nice and knowledgeable and was able to answer any queries we had. The process couldn't have been easier with our accounts and corporation tax. Quality service all round providing tax saving tips and advice. Will definitely be using their services again for next year's accounts.
Honestly, I couldn't have made it through the last few years without this company! I have no idea about returns, accounts or anything like this and I knew I could just email and I would get a quick response with help from a number of staff. Stefi, Anshe, Georgia and Giedre to name a few! You are truly amazing.
Helps us take the load of doing VAT returns and annual financial statements. Your Ecommerce Accountant is also great at communication.
I can't say enough good things about the service at YEA. Everyone I've interacted with has been professional and highly committed. My primary contact is Grace, and she is an absolute gem. Grace is the perfect example of someone who goes above and beyond for her clients. She has a truly proactive approach, consistently finding ways to help my business grow without me even having to ask. For a business in its initial stages, this kind of support is invaluable. She's not only punctual and knowledgeable but also takes the extra mile to find solutions for every problem. Her dedication and willingness to help are truly exceptional, and she's a major reason why I'm so happy with the service I receive.
I recently had the opportunity to engage in an initial consultation with Colin regarding VAT considerations for my Shopify store, especially concerning sales in other countries. Colin showed a great understanding of my situation, acknowledging my status as an accountant with limited VAT expertise diving into a new business venture. What I appreciated most about Colin's approach was his genuine concern for my best interests. Rather than pushing for immediate engagement, he recognised that, at this early stage, I am capable of managing certain aspects independently. His recommendation to postpone our collaboration until my shop is fully operational demonstrated both his integrity and commitment to providing value. He came across as approachable and knowledgeable. I appreciated Colin's transparency regarding fees and service offerings. He outlined the benefits of each option, ensuring I had a clear understanding of what would best serve my long-term interests. His professionalism, transparency, and genuine concern for my business's success were evident throughout our interaction.
I had a chat with Ben this morning and he provided enormous clarity allowing me to clearly see what my best course of action is going forward into the first year of setting up a dropship ecommerce business. He didn't try and sell me any services or products from his end whatsoever — just a genuine motive to help. It was very refreshing, and it was 9am Monday morning! My biggest concern was about IOSS and he dealt with that very quickly. The other major gremlin was submitting quarterlies when setting up a LTD company, and the bottom line was that until turnover reaches 85K there is very little need to worry about all that. I had read a huge amount and spent months researching my options and Ben cut through everything in about 10 minutes! I highly recommend anyone who is feeling blinded by the accountancy aspects of dropshipping get in touch with Ben because, as I say, the fog has lifted!
Ben and the team are really helpful. The thought of doing our own accounts is headache-inducing. Accounts is a part of our business we don't have to worry about and we trust the team to take care of things. They really understand ecommerce accounting and the nuances it involves — do not go to a traditional accountant if you sell online.
Business went from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands within a year. Having the correct accountant in place allows me to focus on this growth, as there is no way I would feel comfortable making this level of sales. It feels a bit like being on a NASA rocket — and luckily Your Ecommerce Accountant has the system which can keep up and give me confidence to truly reach for the stars.
Ben and his team were excellent. Pragmatic and helpful for us as a small company. Good communication and responsiveness. Deep understanding of different e-commerce platforms (Shopify, Amazon, Etsy etc), integrations and sorting the right tax treatment for all that.
As a rapidly growing UK seller, I have been wanting to expand further to the US market and Ben has provided me with very good knowledge on this. This gives me a smooth transition to the US markets doing online arbitrage, hitting the biggest Amazon market in the world.
Had some inquiries about the process of self assessment and going into MTD. Samuel was very straight forward and clear, he took the time to understand my plans and gave me peace of mind. I'd recommend anyone to at least book the free consultation call. When you book you can leave some info about the situation or questions you would like to know, and when the call comes the 20 minutes you get is packed full of great knowledge, advice, peace of mind and value.
Had a great intro phone call with Samuel. He was super helpful, very informative but to the point — gave me the exact advice I was looking for about a few UK/US questions. I plan to work with these guys in the future. Definitely recommended.
Had a call with Colin Smith. I must say he was ready to answer all my questions and give me clarity on all grey areas. I will definitely recommend working with the e-commerce accountant.
After discovering Your Accountant on YouTube and finding their video series genuinely insightful, I decided to take up their complimentary call and I'm glad I did. Speaking with Sam was effortless, and his practical guidance was impressive for what was essentially a free consultation. I came away feeling confident and clear about my next steps. Should the need arise, I wouldn't hesitate to engage their full services; it's clear they have a wealth of accounting expertise to offer any business.
Your support recently has been nothing short of incredible. I especially appreciate Ben coming up with new ways of working and trying to make my role easier. Ben has clearly and accurately clarified my hours and hours of research and pointed me in the right direction.
Really pleased with the services offered by these guys. Completely free helpful advice with no pressure to sign up to services, thank you very much.
Clear, concise information all relevant to what I needed. No pressure to sign up or transact anything. Very helpful, thank you Sam!
Had a free consultation with Ben today. It was super helpful and he answered all of my questions. Thank you Ben!
Amazing company, extremely knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.
Being the owner of multiple properties, I discovered I wasn't utilising my properties effectively so as to gain the most out of them financially. Thanks to that video it has changed my life and my family's tremendously. My eternal gratitude to you, keep up the good work.
I watched your video explaining side hustles and CIC status in light of the HMRC changes. It was very informative — definitely better to be prepared than sorry. Quality information!

E-commerce accounting differs significantly from traditional accounting in various aspects, presenting challenges that require specialised expertise. While tax obligations and VAT compliance are common in all accounting types, the complex nature of e-commerce platforms, payment services, business bank account and various integrations make e-commerce accounting more intricate.
Changes in UK e-commerce VAT rules on 1 January 2021 and subsequent EU adjustments on 1 July 2021 have further complicated the tax landscape for online sellers. Given the rapid growth of ecommerce business, finding accountants with a deep understanding of these evolving regulations is increasingly rare.
While “generalist” accountants may possess basic skills, their lack of specialisation in e-commerce can pose significant risks to ecommerce businesses. The main concerns include missing out on tax efficiency strategies and potentially misreporting tax obligations to HMRC, increasing the risk of an audit and subsequent fines.
Additionally, the intricate VAT rules for online sellers, particularly those trading internationally, are often overlooked by generalists, heightening the likelihood of under-reporting VAT and incurring penalties.
Opting for an accountant with e-commerce expertise ensures that you navigate the unique financial landscape effectively, maximising profit and minimising risk.
