Shopify and E-Commerce Bookkeeping for Montana Online Sellers
Running a store from Montana means you sell everywhere, but your books still have to make sense in one place. Revenue can look healthy while inventory, refunds, processor fees, reserves and payout timing hide the real picture.
Linked-do-Books, a 100% remote bookkeeping brand of Montana-based Linkedd LLC, organizes the activity behind your Shopify store and other channels so you can see what you sold, what it cost, and what actually landed.
Why a deposit isn't the same as revenue
A single Shopify Payments, Stripe or PayPal deposit can bundle many orders, minus refunds, fees and any reserve. If the books record only the deposit, you lose sight of gross sales, the cost of selling and margin.

What's included
- Payout reconciliation: Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal and other processors matched to orders, refunds, reserves and fees.
- Inventory and COGS organization, so gross margin means more than a raw sales total.
- Sales-tax recordkeeping by channel and period, which gives you a cleaner starting point for your tax professional. Filing and legal advice are not included.
- Multi-currency activity brought into a consistent reporting view where applicable.
- A coordinated month-end across storefronts, marketplaces, payment accounts, bank accounts and cards.
- A plain-language monthly note connecting what moved (inventory, payouts and fees, refunds, channel mix) to why it matters.
Pricing
| Order volume (all channels combined) | Price |
|---|---|

Billed monthly through hosted checkout. If your books are behind, Books Clean-Up costs $150 per month behind ($600 minimum, $1,800 cap) before monthly work begins.
Who it's for
Shopify-led brands and online sellers managing more than one stream of sales, payments or currencies, who want human-reviewed books that explain the business instead of just recording deposits.
