Webgility is the most powerful integration software for multichannel brands and wholesalers selling online and using QuickBooks.

📋 Description

• Design the 'Financial Tech Stack' for new customers. You will determine how their sales channels (Shopify, Amazon, Walmart) should map to their GL accounts in QuickBooks/Xero. • Set up Clearing Accounts and Holding Accounts to manage timing differences between sales dates and payout dates. • Many customers come to us with broken books. You will perform historical data clean-up, identifying duplicate transactions, missing merchant fees, and unrecorded COGS (Cost of Goods Sold). • Reconcile past months' Amazon Seller Central settlements against bank feeds to ensure the books match reality. • Guide customers through their first 3 month-end closes. • Troubleshoot all transactions where the payment processor (Stripe/PayPal) and the cart (Shopify) don't align. • Advise customers on Sales Tax configuration (e.g., 'Are you using Avalara, or do we need to map the tax liability account manually?'). • Create 'Standard Operating Procedures' (SOPs) for the customer’s internal bookkeeper to follow after your engagement ends.

🎯 Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, Finance, or Commerce. • Experience: 5+ years of hands-on accounting experience, preferably in a 'Client Accounting Services' (CAS) role at a CPA firm or as an in-house accountant for an e-commerce brand. • Technical Accounting Skills (Must Have): Mastery of QuickBooks Online and Desktop • Familiarity with the backend of Shopify (payouts reports), Amazon Seller Central (settlement reports), and eBay. • Understanding of e-commerce concepts: Gross vs. Net Sales, Merchant Fees, Chargebacks, Returns, and COGS (Cost of Goods Sold). • You understand the difference between Cash vs. Accrual inventory accounting. • You understand Gross-to-Net logic: Why a $100 sale results in a $96.50 deposit, and how to book that $3.50 fee correctly. • Soft Skills: Consultative Mindset: Ability to explain complex accounting concepts to non-accountant business owners without using jargon. • Patience & Empathy: You enjoy helping people solve problems and can de-escalate frustrated customers. • Bonus Points (Nice to Have): CPA (Certified Public Accountant) or EA (Enrolled Agent) candidacy. • Experience working with international clients (handling multi-currency/FX gains & losses).
