Accountants for Retail & E-Commerce in Ireland
Retail is a game of margin, stock and volume — and once you sell online, cross-border VAT, marketplace fees and returns pile on complexity. KPG Accounting Services Limited helps Irish retailers and e-commerce sellers reconcile POS and platforms, watch gross margin, and get VAT right.
Understanding the sector
Whether you run a shop, sell online, or both, the money is in gross margin and stock turn. Point-of-sale and platform payouts need reconciling, stock and shrinkage affect profit, and selling across borders brings VAT rules — OSS, marketplace deemed-supplier rules and import VAT — that catch many sellers out. Seasonal trading and returns add more moving parts.
Common challenges
POS & platform reconciliation
Matching till, card and marketplace payouts (net of fees) to the bank.
Stock, margin & shrinkage
Tracking inventory and gross margin, and spotting losses and returns.
Cross-border & online VAT
Handling EU/OSS, marketplace and import VAT correctly.
Seasonal cash flow
Funding stock ahead of peak trading without a cash crunch.
Every one of these problems disappears the moment bookkeeping is handled properly, in the cloud, by a team that does it every day. That’s what we offer.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to worry about VAT when I sell online across the EU?
Often, yes. Selling to consumers in other EU countries can bring VAT obligations, frequently handled through the One-Stop Shop (OSS), and marketplaces may account for VAT under deemed-supplier rules. The right treatment depends on where and how you sell, so we’ll review your channels and set it up. See our Tax Services page.
Can you reconcile my POS and marketplace payouts?
Yes. We connect your POS, bank and marketplace feeds and reconcile takings against payouts net of fees, so your sales and cash are accurate across every channel. See our Bookkeeping page.
Can you show my gross margin and best-selling lines?
Yes. With the right setup, our management accounts show gross margin and profit by channel or product line, so you can focus on what sells and drop what doesn’t. See our Management Accounts page.
How do you help with stock and seasonal cash flow?
We forecast cash around your buying and selling cycle, so you can fund stock ahead of peak trading without a crunch, and we help you keep an eye on stock levels and shrinkage. See our Business Advisory page.
