E-Commerce Bookkeeping for Canadian Brands That Are Ready to Grow
You've built something real. Now it's time your numbers caught up.
At Starlight, we're e-commerce bookkeepers for Canadian founders who've outgrown the DIY spreadsheet but aren't ready to hire a full finance team. We untangle Shopify and Amazon payouts, track your inventory and COGS properly, and keep your GST/HST registrations in order across provinces. You get monthly books that show what you actually earned, not just what you sold.
Based in Edmonton and working with brands across Canada, we speak fluent Shopify, Amazon, A2X, and QuickBooks Online. You won't spend your discovery call explaining how your business works. We already get it, and we're genuinely excited to help you build what's next.
Our Distinctions:
What We Do
E-Commerce Bookkeeping That Keeps Up With Your Growth
You didn't start your brand to chase down payouts or wrestle with spreadsheets. We handle the numbers from end to end, so you can get back to the work you love.
Financial Systems
Shopify, Amazon, Stripe, A2X, QuickBooks Online, and the other apps you rely on, connected properly so every payout, fee, and refund matches your bank.
Bookkeeping
Monthly books built for product brands, with accurate inventory, true COGS, and GST/HST tracked across provinces.
Advisory
Know your margins by product and plan your cash flow, so you can order inventory and grow without the guesswork.
Who it’s For
Starlight Bookkeeping is for Canadian e-commerce founders who've grown past the side-hustle stage and want books that finally keep up.
It's for the brand owner with Shopify open in one tab, Amazon Seller Central in another, and a spreadsheet they're slightly afraid of in a third. The one hitting record sales months but still unsure what they actually kept. It's for the founder placing a big inventory order and hoping the cash holds, or the DIY QuickBooks user whose payouts stopped matching the bank months ago. It's for anyone ready to stop guessing and start growing with numbers they trust.
How it Works
Step 1: Clean Up & Connect
We get your books caught up and connect your sales channels, payment apps, and QuickBooks Online, so every payout matches your bank from day one.
Step 2: Track & Report
Each month, we track your inventory, COGS, and GST/HST, then deliver clear reports that show what you sold, what you kept, and where it went.
Step 3: Plan & Grow
We review your numbers together, flag what matters, and help you plan cash flow and inventory, so your next big move is a confident one.

FAQs
What does a bookkeeper do?
A bookkeeper is responsible for the accurate and consistent recording of a company's daily financial transactions. Think of them as the primary caregiver for your financial health. Their main goal is to maintain a complete and up-to-date set of books, which provides a clear picture of how your business is performing.
What's the difference between a bookkeeper and an accountant?
While there is some overlap, bookkeepers and accountants have distinct roles. A bookkeeper is responsible for the day-to-day management of financial records. This includes recording transactions, reconciling accounts, and managing payroll. Think of a bookkeeper as the person who builds the financial foundation of your business.
An accountant, on the other hand, typically takes a higher-level view. They analyze the financial data prepared by the bookkeeper to provide insights and strategic advice. Accountants are often involved in tax planning, financial forecasting, and providing business advisory services.
How often do I need a bookkeeper?
The frequency of your bookkeeping needs will depend on the size and complexity of your business. Here are some general guidelines:
Weekly: If you have a high volume of transactions, multiple bank accounts, or employees, weekly bookkeeping is recommended to stay on top of your finances.
Monthly: Most small to medium-sized businesses find that monthly bookkeeping is sufficient to keep their records in order and to get a clear picture of their financial performance.
Quarterly: If you have a very small business with a low volume of transactions, quarterly bookkeeping may be enough to ensure you are ready for tax time.
