Sales-tax nexus mapping, inventory cost methods, and multi-channel reconciliation built for Shopify, Amazon, and TikTok Shop.
The patterns that cost you most.
Sales-tax nexus surprises
Wayfair changed everything — physical or economic nexus can trigger filings in 30+ states.
Inventory accounting chaos
Cash-basis books on a venture-funded brand mask the real margin picture and over-pay tax.
Marketplace 1099 mismatches
Stripe, PayPal, Amazon, and Shopify all issue separate 1099-Ks that overlap and conflict.
Strategies that map to your reality.
Nexus study + registration roadmap
We map physical, FBA, and economic nexus across all 50 states and prioritize registration based on exposure.
Accrual conversion + inventory method
Move to GAAP-aligned accrual books with FIFO/specific-ID inventory — required above $26M and smart well before.
Channel reconciliation
Monthly automated reconciliation of platform payouts, fees, refunds, and 1099s against your ledger.
FAQs.
Do I need to register for sales tax in every state I ship to?+
Only where you exceed economic nexus thresholds (commonly $100K sales or 200 transactions) or maintain physical/FBA presence.
Can I stay on cash basis if I have inventory?+
Below $26M and not a tax shelter, technically yes — but you'll misread your real profitability. We strongly recommend accrual.
