## The Problem

Senior reviewers spend hours tick-and-tying E-commerce Bookkeeping returns against source documents and prior year — and small-dollar variances still slip through into partner review.

## What We Build in Shopify

AI reconciles each line of the return against source docs in QuickBooks Online and the prior year, explains variances over 5%, and produces a review workpaper the senior can sign off on — cutting review time in half. Purpose-built for teams running Shopify — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Shopify Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Shopify configuration.** We map the specific Shopify objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your e-commerce bookkeeping practice.
2. **Build on the Shopify API or agent.** Integration happens inside Shopify — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Shopify with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
