Independent bookkeeping & advisory firm · Serving clients nationwide, remotely
Delaware charges no sales tax — a genuine draw for sellers and fulfillment — but you still owe the gross receipts tax on your own receipts, and you owe sales tax in other states wherever you ship and have nexus. We set up multi-channel revenue, COGS, and gross-receipts tracking by activity in your own QuickBooks file, and flag where out-of-state nexus is forming.
If your file needs our paid diagnostic first, its fee is credited in full against the cleanup. Either way, you get a fixed fee in writing before any work starts.
Delaware rule: retailers pay gross receipts tax at 0.7468% of monthly receipts after a $100,000 deduction, except on goods delivered outside Delaware where proof shows that state’s sales tax was paid; QuickBooks tags receipts by ship-to state. Source: 30 Del. C. ch. 29.
Delaware ecommerce accounting reconciles every channel’s gross sales, fees, refunds and payouts to the bank, with COGS and inventory, in your own QuickBooks file. Delaware has no sales tax to collect, but retailers owe gross receipts tax on their own receipts, and other states’ sales tax applies where you have nexus. Monthly bookkeeping: $500–$2,500+/mo.
They took something that felt overwhelming to me as a first-year business owner and made it simple.
What stood out the most was TechBrot Inc’s attention to detail.
Sellers look profitable until the channels don’t reconcile. Knowing which one you’re in tells us where to start.
The deposit from Shopify or Amazon is net of fees, refunds, chargebacks, and reserves — so booking the payout as revenue understates sales and hides your real fee load. The fix is per-channel reconciliation: gross sales, fees, refunds, and payouts split out and tied to the bank, so margin by channel is true. If you can’t see platform fees as their own line, this is your starting point.
Without inventory and cost of goods sold tracked properly, your P&L shows a margin that isn’t real — and you can’t tell which products actually make money. The fix is COGS and inventory tracked in QuickBooks (or reconciled from your inventory app), so gross margin by SKU is something you can price and reorder from.
“Delaware has no sales tax” is true in-state — but the seller still owes the gross receipts tax on its own receipts, and owes sales tax in other states where it ships and has nexus. Assuming zero obligations is how assessments and back-registrations happen. The fix is gross-receipts tracking by activity plus destination-revenue tracking that flags where out-of-state nexus is forming.
Every engagement is scoped to your channels and catalog, delivered in your own QuickBooks file by your TechBrot team, with every close reviewed by a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor.

Every Delaware ecommerce engagement follows the same four-phase rhythm — books accurate first, margin visibility second, advisory third.
A 30-minute call to map your channels, catalog, COGS method, and where you ship — plus any gross-receipts or nexus exposure. No pitch.
Configure channel reconciliation, COGS, and gross-receipts tracking, plus a cleanup to fix past payouts and inventory where needed.
Monthly reconciliation across channels, COGS and inventory updated, gross-receipts cadence kept, and destination revenue tracked for nexus.
Channel-margin and cash reporting and, as you scale, inventory and cash-flow advisory.
Once every channel reconciles and COGS is real, the question shifts from “are the books right?” to “where’s the margin?” Which SKUs carry profit after fees and shipping, when ad spend stops paying back, how much cash is tied up in inventory, which channel deserves the next dollar — the decisions that separate sellers who scale from those who stall.
That’s where ecommerce advisory comes in: a QuickBooks ProAdvisor who knows your channel and COGS data turning it into margin, inventory, and cash-flow strategy. As automation handles routine entry, this judgment layer is the edge. Explore fractional CFO & advisory

Not in Delaware — the state imposes no sales tax, so you collect nothing from customers in-state and file no Delaware sales-tax return. That is a genuine advantage. But two obligations remain: Delaware’s gross receipts tax on your own total receipts, and sales tax in other states wherever you ship and have economic or physical nexus. We track both in QuickBooks so nothing is missed.
It’s a tax on your total gross receipts as the seller — Delaware’s substitute for a sales tax — at 0.0945% to 1.9914% depending on your business activity, after a monthly or quarterly exclusion amount that reduces the taxable base. We configure income tracking by activity category in QuickBooks so the correct rate and exclusion apply and the gross-receipts return ties out to the books each period rather than being reconstructed later. For a retailer, the rate is 0.7468% after a $100,000 monthly deduction, and goods you deliver outside Delaware drop out of the tax when you can prove that state’s retail sales tax was paid (30 Del. C. § 2909(d)), so sales are also tagged by ship-to state with the tax collected for each.
Every state where you ship has its own economic-nexus threshold (commonly a dollar or transaction count over a year). We track your destination revenue by state in QuickBooks and flag when you cross a threshold, so you know where registration may be required before it becomes a problem. We provide the data and the books; your CPA or a sales-tax specialist handles the registrations and filings.
Yes — that’s core to ecommerce bookkeeping. Each platform pays out net of fees, refunds, chargebacks, and reserves, so we split every settlement into gross sales, platform fees, refunds, and the actual payout, then tie it to the bank. With A2X or similar where it helps, the result is clean revenue and a true fee load by channel — not a deposit booked as a sale.
Yes. We set up COGS and inventory in QuickBooks, or reconcile from your inventory or 3PL system, so your gross margin reflects real product cost — including landed cost where it matters. That’s what lets you see which SKUs actually make money after fees and shipping, and price and reorder with confidence rather than guessing from a top-line number.
With a cleanup. We rebuild miscategorized payouts, fix COGS and inventory, untangle refunds and chargebacks, set up gross-receipts tracking, and reconcile to a known-good baseline — then move you onto accurate monthly bookkeeping with channel-margin reporting. A messy file is the normal starting point. Prefer to talk first? Call (877) 751-5575 and a client advisor will scope it with you.
