Hire a bookkeeper for an e-commerce brand

An e-commerce bookkeeper matches payouts to the bank, codes fees and refunds, and closes the month so the owner can see cash. The hire is full-time, based in the Philippines, and $1,800 a month. A CPA still files the return. The hire does not set prices or ad budgets.

Start in 14 days.

Tasks this hire takes on

Online brands need the payout mess cleaned up every week, not a generic small-business close.

  • Match Shopify, Amazon, or Stripe payouts to the deposit in the bank.
  • Code processor fees, refunds, and shipping so contribution is visible.
  • Reconcile the clearing accounts payouts leave behind.
  • Record inventory purchases the owner already approved.
  • Prepare a monthly pack: sales, fees, refunds, and cash.
  • List what is waiting on a receipt. They do not chase a customer about an order.

Tools they work in

The useful stack is the ledger plus the payout reports the brand already downloads.

  • QuickBooks Online or Xero.
  • Shopify, Stripe, and Amazon reports, from logins the brand provides.
  • A payout tool such as A2X, if the brand already uses one.
  • Excel for a payout tie-out.
  • Dext or a shared folder for supplier bills.

How the hire works

  1. You tell us the channels, the ledger, and whether payouts are summarized by an app or tied out by hand.
  2. We shortlist full-time bookkeepers in the Philippines who have closed a store, not only a services firm.
  3. The trial week is one payout cycle you can check, with a replacement or refund if the tie-out is wrong.
  4. They then own the weekly payout match and the monthly pack. Tax filing stays with your CPA.

This is not the customer-support seat and not the media buyer. Orders, tickets, and ad accounts stay with those roles. This person makes the books match the payouts.

We recruit the top 2% of applicants. Rekruuto is trusted by 100+ customers. The hire is full-time and based in the Philippines, working your hours. You manage the day-to-day work.

Frequently asked questions

Can one bookkeeper handle Shopify and Amazon payouts?

Yes, when you give them the reports and the ledger. The work is matching deposits, fees, and refunds. It is a full-time seat in the Philippines.

How is this different from a bookkeeper at an accounting firm?

A firm seat prepares client files for a reviewer's sign-off. A brand seat lives inside one store's payouts, fees, and inventory bills. Both are $1,800 a month.

Do they file sales tax?

They can prepare the numbers you specify. Filing and any registration stay with you or your CPA.

What if the payout tie-out is wrong in week one?

That week is the trial. We find a replacement or refund your money. You should be able to start within 14 days.
