Specs get your garment made. This gets your margins straight.
Monthly bookkeeping built for small clothing brands: Shopify, Stripe, and marketplace payouts reconciled, categorised, and turned into numbers you can actually make decisions from.
Most brands don't fail on design. They fail on not knowing the number.
By the time a founder checks in on the money, three payment platforms and a spreadsheet that stopped in June are the only record of what actually happened.
Shopify payouts, Stripe fees, and marketplace sales all land differently, and nothing reconciles unless someone sits down and matches it.
Without COGS tracked per drop, "that sold well" and "that made money" get treated as the same thing. They're often not.
A year of mixed personal and business spend becomes a scramble every January, and an expensive one, if an accountant has to untangle it first.
The books, kept every month, without you touching a spreadsheet.
Handled monthly, delivered as a clear, categorised set of numbers, not a wall of transactions to interpret yourself.
Payment reconciliation
Shopify, Stripe and marketplace payouts matched against your bank, so every pound in is accounted for.
Monthly P&L
Income and expenses categorised into a clean profit & loss statement, sent to you every month.
Margin per drop
Cost of goods tracked per collection or drop, so you know real margin, not just revenue, on everything you release.
Cash flow snapshot
A simple read on what's actually in the business versus committed to stock, fees and upcoming costs.
Platform fee tracking
Stripe, Shopify and marketplace fees broken out on their own, so they stop quietly eating into margin unnoticed.
Accountant-ready export
Books kept in a format your accountant can take at tax time, no untangling required first.
Built for brands still small enough that nobody's watching the numbers full-time.
Running it alongside a job
You're doing design, sourcing and marketing yourself. Bookkeeping is the part that keeps slipping to "this weekend," and then doesn't happen.
Selling in stages
Sequenced drops mean margin data from drop one should shape drop two. That only works if someone's actually tracking it drop by drop.
Shopify plus marketplaces
Once sales come in through more than one channel, "check the bank balance" stops being a bookkeeping system.
Run by someone whose day job is reconciling payment flows and revenue for a marketplace platform: the same Shopify and Stripe reconciliation work, just for a brand your size.
Camron was incredibly professional from the first call, easy to work with, quick to respond, and he went well above and beyond what we asked for. It's rare to find someone who treats a small job with the same care as a big one.

Launch Books Setup
For a brand that hasn't sold yet: chart of accounts, a COGS template per style, and a break-even calculator, so month one starts clean.
Specs and numbers, from the same place.
If you're using bycy's tech pack templates to get your garments made, this is the other half, knowing what they actually cost you once they sell.

No. Bookkeeping and accounting are different. This keeps your monthly records clean and categorised. If you file taxes with an accountant, this makes that handoff faster and cheaper.
Whatever you're already selling on: Shopify and Stripe as standard, plus any marketplace payouts (Depop, Etsy, etc). No new software required on your end.
Close to none. You grant read access to the relevant accounts once, and receive a finished monthly report, no data entry on your side.
Yes, month to month, no contract lock-in.
Know your real margin before your next drop.
