Texas · E-commerce Accounting
Sellers shipping into Texas and Texas businesses selling online both answer to the Comptroller, under different rules. We reconcile Shopify, Amazon and marketplace payouts to the bank, keep marketplace sales apart from your own, set the Texas rates in QuickBooks to match how you collect, and tie inventory to cost of goods sold, by your TechBrot team, with every close reviewed by a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor.
Texas rule: a remote seller with more than $500,000 in Texas revenue over the preceding twelve months must get a permit and collect use tax, and may elect the 1.75 percent single local use tax rate; QuickBooks needs one rate setup that matches the choice. Source: Texas Comptroller.

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.

Texas e-commerce accounting from TechBrot reconciles Shopify, Amazon and marketplace payouts to the bank and keeps marketplace sales apart from your own. A remote seller over $500,000 in Texas revenue over twelve months must collect use tax and may elect the 1.75% single local rate; we set QuickBooks to match. Monthly bookkeeping runs $400–$2,500+/mo.
Sellers rarely get the products wrong. They get the payouts, the marketplace split and the Texas rate wrong, and each one compounds monthly.
Shopify, Amazon and Walmart pay out net of fees, refunds, reserves and ad charges. Booked as the deposit, revenue is understated, fees vanish, and nothing ties to the channel report. Gross sales, each deduction and the payout belong on their own lines.
Tax the marketplace provider collected and remitted is not your liability, but when marketplace and direct sales share one income line, it lands in your sales-tax account and the balance never matches a return.
A remote seller that elected the single local use tax rate, or a Texas seller collecting by place of business, needs QuickBooks set the same way. A mismatch shows up as tax collected at one rate and owed at another.
Scoped to your channels, catalog and Texas footprint, in your own QuickBooks file, by your TechBrot team, with every close reviewed by a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor.
Each Shopify, Amazon and marketplace payout broken into gross sales, fees, refunds, reserves and ad charges, and matched to the bank deposit.
Texas bookkeeping services →Marketplace sales recorded with the provider-collected tax kept out of your liability, and direct sales carrying the tax you collect and owe.
Texas sales tax help →QuickBooks rates for a remote seller on the single local use tax rate, a remote seller collecting by destination, or a Texas seller collecting by place of business.
Texas sales tax help →Texas revenue totaled on a rolling twelve-month basis, so you and your CPA see the $500,000 line coming before you cross it.
Sales-tax nexus →Inventory and cost of goods sold tied to SKU and channel, including stock held in fulfillment warehouses, so margin by product is real.
QuickBooks inventory →A reconciled monthly close with channel margin and the marketplace-sale records the Comptroller expects kept for four years.
Texas monthly bookkeeping →The books read from the channels you already sell on: settlement reports, payout files and processor statements, mapped into QuickBooks the same way every month.
Every Texas e-commerce engagement runs in the same order: channels mapped first, the Texas tax setup second, then a monthly close with margin by channel.
A QuickBooks ProAdvisor reviews your channels, how marketplace and direct sales are recorded, and how your Texas rates are set — at no cost.
A written scope and fixed fee within 3 business days: cleanup, setup or monthly.
Payouts broken out and matched to the bank, the marketplace split made, Texas rates set to your status, open months reconciled.
A monthly close with margin by channel, a Texas liability that ties, and the rolling Texas revenue figure.
When every payout ties and the Texas tax is in the right account, the questions turn to growth: which channel earns after fees and returns, which SKUs to cut, whether fulfillment warehouses are worth their cost, and how fast inventory turns into cash.
That is where fractional-CFO advisory picks up, on cleaned-up books, coordinated with your CPA.
Checked against the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts.
