Amazon, eBay, Etsy, TikTok Shop and Independent shops.

---

Orders, packaging, customer enquiries and returns can fill your day before you reach the accounts. When sales come through several platforms, understanding your profit can become even harder.

KC Accountants helps online sellers and independent retailers organise their finances, manage their tax responsibilities and understand the figures behind their business.

We support sole traders and limited companies, including:

• Amazon and eBay sellers.
• Etsy sellers and handmade product businesses.
• TikTok Shop sellers and social media retailers.
• Shopify and independent website owners.
• Clothing, vintage and secondhand resellers.
• Independent shops, market traders and businesses selling both online and in person.

Whether selling is your main income or something you run alongside employment, we can help you find the right level of accounting support.

Stock, marketplace fees, advertising, delivery charges and customer refunds all affect what you earn. The amount arriving in your bank account may already have fees and other adjustments deducted.

We help bring your sales reports, payment records and business costs together, giving you a clearer view of your trading results. That makes it easier to understand your tax position and plan your next steps.

Bringing your sales together
We review income across your selling channels, helping you account for platform deductions, refunds and payments without overlooking or counting the same sales twice.

Making sense of your costs
From stock and packaging to storage and advertising, we review your business records and the appropriate treatment of your expenses.

Taking care of the filings
We prepare and submit the agreed tax returns and accounts, explain the figures and make your deadlines clear.

Supporting your next stage
If you are expanding, employing staff or considering a limited company, we can discuss the accounting responsibilities before you make the move.

Our services include:

• Self Assessment tax returns.
• Bookkeeping and reconciliation of marketplace payments.
• Annual company accounts and Corporation Tax returns.
• VAT registration reviews and VAT return preparation.
• PAYE payroll and payslips.
• Management accounts and cash flow planning.
• Support with outstanding returns and incomplete records.

Your package is agreed around your transaction volume, selling channels and the condition of your records.

You can run your business anywhere in the UK and work with KC remotely. Share your records digitally and speak to a team that explains things in straightforward language.

Our offices in Whitechapel, London and Edgbaston, Birmingham also serve business owners across both cities and surrounding areas.

A seller with one marketplace account may need different support from a shop handling daily transactions across several channels.

Visit our pricing page for starting prices. We will explain what your quote covers, including whether bookkeeping, VAT returns or payroll are included.

I sell alongside my full time job. Can you help?
Yes. We can review your selling activity alongside your employment income and prepare any required Self Assessment return.

Does selling on eBay, Vinted or Depop automatically mean I owe tax?
No. Selling your own unwanted belongings is different from buying or making goods to sell for profit. We can review your activity and explain whether you have reporting responsibilities.

My platform has shared information with HMRC. Should I be worried?
Sharing information does not automatically mean you owe tax. We can help you understand the report and check it against your records and tax position.

Can you handle several platforms and a physical shop together?
Yes. We can bring your online and shop records together as part of an agreed bookkeeping and accounting service.

Do I need a limited company or VAT registration?
These are separate questions. We can review your circumstances, explain any registration requirements and discuss whether a company would suit your business.

My records are behind. Can I still get started?
Yes. Tell us what records you have and which periods need attention. We will assess the work and provide a quote before proceeding.

Tell us where you sell and what support you need. We’ll help you take the next step towards clearer, better organised accounts.
