We’re E P Accountants

A small, personal accountancy practice in Shrawley, near Worcester, that understands both traditional businesses and the complexities of selling online.

We look after limited companies, sole traders, partnerships and employers across Worcestershire, with accounts, tax, bookkeeping, VAT and payroll done properly and on time. Alongside that, we offer specialist e-commerce accounting for online sellers, from marketplace payouts to VAT on international sales.

Whichever side you are on, you get specialist knowledge from real people who know your business.

Why Your Sales Never Match Your Bank

A marketplace does not pay you your sales. It pays you what is left once its fees, your advertising, postage and refunds have been taken out, often in one lump covering dozens of orders.

Pick a platform and a month’s sales to see how quickly the two figures drift apart. Every line in between needs recording properly for your profit and VAT to be right.

Illustrative example only. Real fees vary by platform, category, plan and how you fulfil orders.

Example month
Sales on Amazon£10,000
Referral and selling fees-£1,500
FBA fulfilment fees-£1,200
Advertising-£800
Refunds-£500
Storage charges-£100
What lands in your bank£5,900

£4,100 sits between your sales report and your bank statement. We make sure every pound of it is recorded in the right place.

Selling Online? Your Accountant Should Understand How Your Business Works

Amazon, Shopify and eBay all pay you differently, deduct different fees and report VAT in different ways.

Add refunds, stock, advertising, international sales and the software that connects it all, and a general approach to the books soon stops working. We understand how marketplace payouts are built, how to reconcile them back to your orders and how to show the true profit of each channel.

What Our Clients Say

Long-standing clients, from sole traders to organisations with large payrolls, on what it is like to work with us.

We started using EP Accountancy for our payroll processing over 10 years ago now and during that time we’ve had fantastic service from Emma and Lauren. They are knowledgeable and professional as well as friendly and approachable. They’ve proven themselves to be a valuable addition to our business and I would recommend them to anyone needing an extra hand.

Amy
Andy Loos Ltd

I’ve been working with EPA Accountancy for over 11 years now, and I couldn’t be happier with their service. Emma and Lauren are incredibly hard-working, and they’re always there at the other end of the phone whenever we have any questions or worries about tax or anything else. It’s such a great company to be part of, and I’d 100% recommend them to any tradesman or sole trader.

Stu

I have recently moved over to Lauren, and I couldn’t fault her at all. She has been knowledgeable, easy to contact for questions and is really lovely. She asked when I’d like my self-assessment completed for, and I said as soon as possible. Within a week she had done it! Outstanding! Thank you, Lauren.

Leah

We’ve enjoyed a very efficient and professional service with a very personal feel since we switched to EP Accountancy a few years back. It was a move we’re glad we made and would recommend EP Accountancy without hesitation.

We here at Hagley Hall and Hagley Golf Club have been really pleased with the payroll service provided by EP Accountancy. You have always been very courteous and professional in dealing with our payroll. You always send us the completed payroll on time, even allowing for last-minute adjustments from us. We look forward to a continuous relationship in the future.
