Ecommerce Bookkeeping Costs
Compare ecommerce bookkeeping costs and see how Nummbas combines accounting, payout matching and routine Nummbas-FO bookkeeping in one product.
Ecommerce bookkeeping costs include the software, the routine work and the review needed to close the month. A separate accounting app, payout connector and inventory tool can each add a subscription, while manual transfers between them take time.
Nummbas is a better starting point for merchants who want accounting and ecommerce operations in one product. Nummbas Books includes invoices, bills, payout matching and bank reconciliation. Nummbas-FO can record routine transactions within the limits you set and prepare month end for review.
Compare what the monthly cost actually buys
| Approach | What you get | How Nummbas changes the workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Accounting software plus a payout connector | A ledger and a separate connection for settlement entries | Nummbas Books includes accounting and supported payout matching together |
| Spreadsheet bookkeeping | A record you enter and maintain yourself | Connected sources and routine Nummbas-FO entries reduce repeated data entry |
| Software plus your accountant | Accounting tools with a person reviewing and closing the month | Invite your accountant to work in Nummbas Books with prepared transactions and supporting records |
| Managed bookkeeping service | Accounting work performed under an agreed service scope | Nummbas gives you the choice to manage bookkeeping with Nummbas-FO or work with your own accountant |
Why Nummbas offers more than a ledger subscription
A basic ledger subscription does not describe the full ecommerce workload. You still need to explain payouts, record product costs and investigate changes in profit.
Nummbas Books splits Shopify Payments, Stripe, Square, eBay, Amazon and TikTok Shop (US) payouts into sales, refunds, fees and tax and matches the total to bank deposits. Inventory purchasing lets you create purchase orders and receive stock with freight and duty included in its cost. Expense Intelligence and marketing reports help you understand the costs behind the accounting result.
Do your bookkeeping with Nummbas-FO or your accountant
If you want to do the bookkeeping yourself, connect your bank or upload statements and set the limits for transactions Nummbas-FO can record automatically. Review suggested entries and the prepared month-end work before closing the month.
If you prefer to work with your accountant, invite them to Nummbas Books. They can review transactions, reconcile bank accounts and close the month. This gives you accounting software and routine bookkeeping support without requiring you to buy a managed service as well.
Compare software with hired bookkeeping help
Nummbas brings native accounting, supported payout matching, stock purchasing and business analysis into one product. That is the advantage to compare against assembling separate subscriptions. Hired help should be compared by the work covered: historical cleanup, review, tax work and advice can require different scopes.
