A lack of accountants with ecommerce experience
Unfortunately for Joe, while there were some accountants who said they had ecommerce experience, when he spoke to them, it felt like they did not truly understand his industry nor his business model.
Worse, he was under the strong impression that he would be the one telling his accountant what to do, rather than the other way around. While he was happy to pay another accountant money, he was not happy to pay them in time. So, he decided to save the money and since it would be costing him time either way, he would continue to do things himself.
The first ecommerce-focused UK accountancy was born
To protect his time, each month he focused on improving his processes little by little. The incremental gains meant that Joe could focus on what was important and when friends began forming ecommerce businesses, they spoke with Joe about what to do.
Ecommerce Accountants was formed to solve the problems that Joe faced. The processes that Joe built for his own businesses are what we use internally at Ecommerce Accountants today. If you are running an ecommerce business and want to focus on being able to run things without worrying about anything associated with tax, then you are in the right place.
