The Financial Problems DTC Brands Actually Face
Margin Compression as Ads Scale
Blended ROAS looks fine, contribution margin quietly compresses. We rebuild reporting around margin after ads, fees, and 3PL costs so leadership can steer spend to what actually earns.
Inventory Locking Up Cash
Buy plans built on gut feel or last quarter's revenue create stock-outs or capital that never comes back. We tie inventory buys to demand, lead times, and available cash.
Multi-Channel Revenue That Never Reconciles
Shopify, Amazon, wholesale, and marketplaces produce fragmented data. We reconcile every channel to gross sales, fees, refunds, and payouts, monthly.
Sales Tax Nexus Nobody Is Watching
Economic nexus and 3PL inventory create obligations in dozens of states. We run the nexus study, register, and file so it does not blow up during diligence.
Systems That Cannot Keep Up
QuickBooks stops working around $15M to $30M. We scope, select, and implement the right ERP and integration stack for the stage you are heading to.
Investor and Lender Readiness
Whether it is a raise, an inventory line, or an exit, DTC brands are underwritten on unit economics and inventory turns. We build the model, the data room, and stay in the room.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who does Sataurius work with in ecommerce and DTC?
We work with DTC and omnichannel brands from roughly $2M to $150M in revenue, including Shopify-led brands, Amazon-first sellers, and multi-channel businesses that sell through wholesale, retail, and marketplaces. Category examples include apparel, food and beverage, wellness, beauty, home goods, and consumer supplements.
What services do you offer specifically for ecommerce brands?
Ecommerce accounting, ecommerce fractional CFO, ecommerce sales tax, and ecommerce finance systems and ERP, plus supporting services like transaction advisory when brands are preparing for a raise, acquisition, or exit.
Do you replace our bookkeeper or work alongside them?
Either. We can run the full finance stack, or we can layer controller and CFO oversight above your existing bookkeeper. The choice usually depends on order volume, channel count, and how ready you are to consolidate the finance function.
How is Sataurius different from a general fractional CFO firm?
We speak DTC economics natively (contribution margin after ads, MER, inventory turns, marketplace-facilitator tax, landed cost) and we run engagements through a repeatable four-step model that keeps deliverables on schedule regardless of who is on your side of the table.
Can you support an ecommerce brand preparing for an exit or fundraise?
Yes. This is one of our most common engagement types. We stabilize the financials, prepare the model and data room, run diligence responses, and stay through closing. For a case study see below.
