An Expert Eye
Many entrepreneurs quickly conclude that accounting is not what they should spend their time doing. Your skills are valuable and irreplaceable, yet your time remains finite. By outsourcing your accounting to a specialist, you are freeing up valuable time that will enable you to concentrate on the growth of your business, rather than its day-to-day running.
Additionally, e-commerce is a complex area to account for, so even if you are experienced in carrying out accounting duties for your businesses, you may miss vital information that could result in missed opportunities for growth or overstretch your cash flow.
Technology First and Foremost
E-commerce accountants are among the most tech-savvy accountants in the world. The very nature of e-commerce means we need a strong foundation in digital tools to maximise your business. You simply won’t find this level of tech-utilisation in any other accounting sector.
At Unicorn Accounting, we are strong advocates for Xero accounting software for all e-commerce businesses. We use a combination of Xero and its many integrations and apps to create accounting systems that require minimal input due to automation and also give us the data we need to help you on your way.
