At Notion CFO & Advisors, We Know How To Navigate the Unique CFO Functions E-Commerce Businesses Navigate

COGS Management

Due to fluctuating inventory costs, supplier price variations, shipping expenses, and returns, COGS (cost of goods sold) management can be a major financial challenge for e-commerce CFOs—making real-time inventory valuation and financial reporting a difficult process.

Revenue Recognition

To simplify purchases based on customer preference, e-commerce businesses must often juggle multiple payment processors (Apple Pay, PayPal, Shopify, etc.). With different fees, payout schedules, and chargeback processes, accurate revenue tracking can be difficult. 

Integrating Multiple Sales Channels

E-commerce businesses operating in more than one space—like Amazon, Etsy, Shopify, etc., may need to integrate multiple accounting systems. This can make it challenging to ensure consistent financial reporting.

Cash Flow Management & Budgeting

Delayed marketplace payouts, seasonal fluctuations, and unforeseen expenses can make it difficult to accurately forecast your cash flow and budget efficiently to support long-term growth.
