Amazon FBA

From single mum to CEO of 60+ employees After unexpected circumstances left Brittany Brown as a solo mum (with no education to fall back on), she decided to go back to school and get her accounting degree. She was about to graduate and was being actively recruited by some of the ‘Big Four’ public accounting firms in North America, but she could tell they weren’t the right fit. She took a job with a small, local accounting firm instead, but around the same time, client accounting services were growing – and the idea sparked the start of Brittany’s own firm, LedgerGurus.

Riding the early wave of eCommerce accounting In 2011, when husband and wife duo Scott and Patti Scharf founded their eCommerce accounting firm Catching Clouds, Amazon dominated the online shopping sphere. Over a decade later, the market has exploded with Shopify, Etsy, Walmart, eBay and international Amazon iterations joining the fray. As one of the first accounting businesses to specialise in eCommerce, Catching Clouds has gone from strength to strength, taking on larger clients, going beyond simple bookkeeping and recently merging with Acuity.
