The monthly revenue reconciliation that breaks due to mismatched refunds, chargebacks, and tax variances across Shopify, payment processors, and accounting systems
The situation this course is for
Every month, Shopify founders waste hours reconciling revenue because platform data doesn’t match bank deposits or accounting records. Refunds appear late, chargebacks aren’t mapped, tax calculations differ, and promo codes create gaps. The result is a manual spreadsheet fix that delays financial close, creates investor reporting risk, and distracts from growth. This isn’t a data pipeline issue , it’s a reconciliation logic gap that repeats every cycle.
Who this is for
Founder-operators of Shopify brands processing $250K+ monthly revenue who manually reconcile financials across platforms and accounting systems
Who this is not for
Founders with fully automated ERP integrations, brands using Shopify Plus with certified app suites already in place, or businesses with dedicated finance teams handling reconciliation

- Build a repeatable reconciliation checklist that cuts monthly close time by 70%
- Map chargebacks and refunds to the correct periods and SKUs
