About Us
The Bottom Line® CPA is an award-winning, 100% Xero cloud accounting practice serving as industry leaders for Amazon FBA, eCommerce, and Online Business owners.
Founded in 1996, TBLCPA launched into the online world circa 2013, quickly becoming the done-for-you Finance + Profit Pros behind many elite online brands.
We Believe Serving With Heart To Make Serious Work Fun Is Not An Option
No matter the business season, sales, or budget — we believe every Amazon FBA, eCommerce, and Online Business owner should have a CPA-Supported Finance Team that “gets” you.
We speak eCommerce and live the language of online business every single day.
We learn from you and you’ll grow with us, but you won’t spend a minute of your time or money convincing us what you do, how you do it, or why you do it. We promise!
We love serving a growing community of Online Sellers, Course Creators, Membership Makers, Service Providers and more. Our client relationships often begin before the first sale is even made and celebrated when the multi-six- and seven-figures milestones happen!
And, yes, that all sounds lovely, right?
But…… The Truth About The Bottom Line Is In What You Keep Not What You Earn
It’s way easier to share when you made sales than it is to say — “I’m not sure where it all went.” #TrueStory. There’s no place for shame in this game. There is room for acceptance on where you are financially and unapologetic grit to keep going in your online climb!
Dreams that last are built on rock-solid financial foundations that help you keep more of the money you earn. #ProfitFundsDreams
So, where do we begin? By creating financial systems and profit plans that help you confidently pocket your profits. We care about the partnerships you create for impact along the way too.
We are changing the conversation on how Amazon FBA, eCommerce, and Online Business owners relate to their numbers, manage their finances, and connect with the CPAs, Accountants, Bookkeepers, and Profit Pros that serve them. Won’t you join us?
