Remote Bookkeeping for Shopify Stores

Your Shopify store's books,
closed by the 5th. Every month.

QuickBooks reconciliation + A2X integration for stores doing $2–5M/year. AI-assisted. No more scrambling at tax time or making growth decisions blind.

Sound familiar?

Can you answer these right now?

  • What is your gross margin right now — not last month’s, not an estimate — right now?
  • Does your A2X payout hit QuickBooks as one lump sum you can’t fully explain?
  • Are your books closed before tax season, or do you scramble every March?
  • Can you see exactly what you made last month net of refunds, chargebacks, and Shopify fees?
  • Do you know your real COGS — inventory cost plus fulfillment, shipping, and platform fees?

The real cost

What bad books actually cost a $2–5M Shopify store

Not “stress.” Not “confusion.” Actual money and actual time, every month.

  • 8–15 hours/month reconstructing what already happened Chasing down A2X discrepancies, reconciling split payouts, explaining lump-sum QuickBooks entries to your accountant — every month. That’s a part-time job you didn’t hire for.
  • Tax exposure from miscategorized Shopify fees and COGS When fulfillment costs land in the wrong account, your taxable income is wrong. When ad spend hits COGS, your margin story is wrong. Your CPA files on what you give them.
  • Growth decisions made on last quarter’s numbers Expanding to a new channel, cutting an SKU, hiring your first ops person — you’re doing it without knowing what last month actually looked like. Bookkeeping that closes on the 30th isn’t bookkeeping. It’s guesswork.

It doesn’t have to be this way. A well-run Shopify store at your revenue level should have books closed by the 5th, a clean P&L every month, and a bookkeeper who understands how A2X and QuickBooks actually talk to each other.

How it works

What “AI-augmented” actually means for your books

Specific tools. Specific outcomes. No buzzwords.

A2X Auto-Mapping

A2X reads your Shopify payout and automatically splits it into revenue, refunds, fees, and gift card redemptions — mapped to the correct QuickBooks accounts before it ever hits your books. No manual splitting of lump-sum deposits.

QuickBooks Rule Engine

We build and maintain categorization rules that catch Shopify ad spend before it lands in COGS, keep fulfillment fees out of your payroll line, and flag vendor names that don’t belong. Every month-end review runs through the rule set before close.

Anomaly Detection

We flag statistical outliers in your transaction feed — unusual refund spikes, duplicate charges, unrecognized vendor charges — before they distort your P&L. You see a clean report, not a mystery.

5th-of-the-Month Close

AI-assisted reconciliation cuts close time from the industry average of 10–15 days down to under 5. Your P&L and balance sheet are in your inbox by the 5th. Not by the 30th. Not at tax time.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a bookkeeper for my Shopify store?

Once your Shopify store is doing consistent revenue, yes — especially if you're using A2X or Shopify Payments. A2X posts payouts as summarized journal entries that need to be mapped correctly to QuickBooks accounts. Without someone who knows that mapping, your books will have systematic errors every month that compound at tax time.

What does A2X do for Shopify stores?

A2X reads your Shopify payout data and automatically splits each payout into its components — product revenue, refunds, shipping collected, Shopify fees, and payment processing fees — then posts each component to the correct QuickBooks account. This eliminates the manual work of explaining lump-sum deposits and ensures your books reflect the actual breakdown of every payout.

How much does Shopify bookkeeping cost?

Shopify bookkeeping typically ranges from $500 to $2,500+ per month depending on transaction volume, number of sales channels, and the level of CFO-adjacent reporting you need. Turnswing's tiers start with monthly reconciliation and P&L delivery and scale up to full financial operations with margin reporting and custom KPI dashboards.

What is the difference between QuickBooks and A2X for Shopify?

QuickBooks is your accounting ledger — it holds all your financial records, generates your P&L, and is what your accountant or CPA works from at tax time. A2X is a connector that sits between Shopify and QuickBooks. It transforms raw Shopify payout data into properly categorized journal entries so QuickBooks always reflects your actual revenue, fees, and refunds — not just lump-sum deposits.

Can I do my own Shopify bookkeeping in QuickBooks?

Technically yes, but the complexity scales fast. Shopify Payments, third-party gateways, multi-channel sales, and Shopify's fee structure create reconciliation problems that trip up most store owners. Common errors — treating payouts as gross revenue, missing fee deductions, incorrect COGS entries — produce a P&L that looks fine until tax time reveals months of misstated income. A2X automates the mapping, but you still need someone who knows how to configure it correctly.
