You know your revenue. Do you know your real margin?
Saturn BPO gives ecommerce operators a controller who reconciles every settlement and closes the books fast (we target the 10th when your records are complete), and a fractional CFO who turns that into real margin, a cash-flow forecast, and COGS discipline. Clean multi-channel bookkeeping and sales-tax accrual are step one, not the finish line.

Works with the tools you already run
What a generic bookkeeper can't tell you about your store.
Sell online and your numbers have these six blind spots. We close them, then tell you what they mean for the business.
Settlements never tie
Shopify payouts lag 2–5 days and bury fees in the gross. Your bank deposit never matches your sales.
Every processor books differently
Stripe, PayPal, Amazon Pay, Klarna, Shop Pay. Most bookkeepers lump them into one revenue line.
Refunds rot in suspense
Chargebacks sit uncoded for weeks. Your AR shows phantom revenue you'll never collect.
COGS is a year-end guess
Inventory never reconciled against the platform. You don't know your true margin until April.
Marketplace tax is mis-booked
Amazon, Etsy, eBay facilitator tax treated as regular revenue. Accrual wrong, filing wrong.
Nobody's forecasting cash
No runway view, no read on which channel to scale. You're buying inventory on a hunch.
