Accounting & BookkeepingReconciliation & Cleanup Workflow3MediumBookkeeper$ implied

A bookkeeper does not know the correct workflow to reconcile Shopify gross sales, multiple net payouts, and processing fees in accounting software, and inherited messy books from a previous accountant who left a large A/R balance.

Existing accounting solutions may not provide clear, step-by-step guidance or automation for recording POS sales with split payouts and fee deductions, leading to incorrect workflows and reconciliation issues.
