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 recognized 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.

In sum, my experience with Colin was great. His professionalism, transparency, and genuine concern for my business's success were evident throughout our interaction. Thank you, Colin, for a truly pleasant experience.

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 was a genuine motive to help - it was very refreshing and it was 9am Monday morning!

My biggest concerns was about IOSS and he dealt with that very quickly. The other major gremlin was submitting quarterlies when setting up a LTD company etc and I found 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!

Frequently Asked Questions

As accountants specialising in dropshipping, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities faced by dropshipping sellers. Our expertise is not limited to managing your financial records. Your role as a dropshipping seller requires an accountant well-versed in online retail’s intricacies.

Our team is proficient in navigating the complex eCommerce landscape, assisting you in identifying tax efficiencies and ensuring accurate VAT reporting. As dropshipper accounting experts, we offer services that include setting up your company, streamlining your accounts, and devising customised growth and profit maximisation strategies. Managing finances can be overwhelming for a dropshipper; this is where our specialised ecommerce accounting services come into play.

We are well-acquainted with the demands of online marketplaces and the new eCommerce VAT regulations implemented in January 2021 in the UK and July 2021 in the EU. We also have comprehensive knowledge of the best accounting software and tools that can boost your business efficiency.

For dropshipping sellers seeking specialised accounting solutions, we highly recommend Quickbooks and Xero. These platforms are particularly adept at integrating with various dropshipping marketplaces, streamlining your financial processes. Their extensive network of connections provides deep insights, crucial for dropshipper accounting.

To support new dropshipping businesses, we offer a comprehensive service to set up your dropshipper-specific accounting software. This ensures near-immediate access to real-time financial data, simplifying cash flow management and overall financial tracking for your dropshipping venture.

If you’re a dropshipping seller in the UK, dealing exclusively within the country, and your turnover remains below £85,000, you’re not required to register for VAT. This applies even when operating through major platforms like Amazon.

Nevertheless, navigating VAT complexities becomes crucial when expanding your dropshipping business internationally. Our expertise in dropshipper accounting ensures smooth VAT registration and management of your VAT obligations, safeguarding your business against any compliance issues.

The Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) scheme, effective from 1st July 2021 in the EU, is particularly relevant for dropshipping sellers. This scheme enables the collection of VAT at the point of sale, streamlining the process for dropshippers. As a dropshipper, it’s crucial to understand that platforms like Amazon, acting as deemed suppliers, are responsible for accurate VAT collection on your behalf.

For those involved in dropshipper accounting, using the IOSS number on customs forms is essential to prevent additional charges on items shipped into the EU. This scheme aspect can be complex, but our expertise in dropshipping seller accounting ensures your business remains compliant and properly set up. We provide specialised services to help you navigate VAT requirements seamlessly, safeguarding you from any VAT-related complications with your customers.

For dropshipping sellers, we offer flexible, rolling monthly contracts with no minimum term, ensuring you avoid the hefty fees often associated with traditional high-street accounting services. Our fixed-fee pricing structure is designed specifically for dropshipper accounting needs, providing clear, transparent plans allowing easy budgeting and managing your accountancy costs.

Our ICAEW chartered accountants are adept at remote communication, using phone, email, and video calls. We also offer a complimentary thirty-minute consultation to fit your schedule. This approach ensures our availability and readiness to assist with your dropshipper accounting needs.

Being ICAEW chartered accountants, we stay ahead in the field of accountancy, with a keen understanding of dropshipping businesses’ unique challenges. Our exceptional advice and deep insight into the dropshipping landscape distinguish us from traditional accounting services, making us an ideal choice for your dropshipping business.
