Market maturation, growth of multi-channel ecommerce, and higher fee complexity (marketplace deductions, chargebacks, split payouts) mean founders value a vertical specialist now more than a generalist. The user explicitly named Doola and Finaloop as current options, showing buyer awareness and an active market searching for high-end ecommerce-native bookkeeping. Combine deep ecommerce accounting rules and a curated transaction-mapping library for Shopify and Amazon with automated ingestion of settlement and payout reports and a monthly human review. Evidence from the source shows founders specifically want someone who already understands chargebacks, refunds, shipping fees and inventory.
