The Seller CPA Story: Rooted in Ecommerce Experience
Founded by Steven Freshour, CPA, in 2019, The Seller CPA was built for 7-figure ecommerce founders who want more than just a bookkeeper. We help ecommerce entrepreneurs master their finances, reduce taxes, and scale with confidence.
Our story began with a vision to fill the void in expert financial services for ecommerce founders. Steven’s unique journey from small business lending to running his own ecommerce business provided him with firsthand insights into the founders world, shaping the foundation of a CPA firm dedicated to the true needs of ecommerce entrepreneurs. Today, we’re proud to serve over 100 clients with the same passion and precision that sparked our inception.
Steven started his professional career as a Financial Systems Accountant and is tech savvy and process-oriented. He is a Virginia licensed CPA. Prior to founding the firm, Steven worked in a variety of operational roles from venture-backed fintech startups to commercial banks and even federal government roles.
Why Work With Us?
Frustrated with productized solutions that put your business in a box and shuffle you from one bookkeeper to the next with high turnover? Working with a different tax preparer each year who doesn’t know you?
Working with a generic bookkeeping firm that doesn’t understand ecommerce? Seeing a CPA once a year who doesn’t understand your business and just tells you what you owe?
Are your financial statements or tax return being prepared late? Are they not being delivered on a regular monthly and annual schedule?
Receiving poor or no communication from your current firm? Is your CPA never available or just doesn’t respond?
