Consumer & E-commerce
Unit economics, marketplace tax and controls for consumer brands and digital commerce businesses selling across channels and borders.
Consumer and e-commerce businesses process enormous volumes of small transactions across marketplaces, payment providers and logistics partners. The economics live in the detail: returns, discounts, fees and fulfilment costs that rarely appear clearly in the accounts.
Unit economics that hold up
We help brands and platforms build contribution margin by channel, product and customer cohort, reconciled to the books, so growth investment goes where it actually pays back.
Selling across borders
Selling into new countries through marketplaces and direct channels creates indirect tax, permanent establishment and data obligations in each market. We help businesses expand without accumulating hidden exposure.
What consumer & e-commerce businesses face
Reconciling high-volume transactions
Marketplace settlements, payment gateways and returns rarely line up neatly with orders and revenue.
Growth that hides losses
Top-line growth masks channels or products that lose money once fees, returns and fulfilment are counted.
Tax in every market you sell to
Cross-border sales create obligations that depend on where customers are, not where the company sits.
Investor scrutiny of metrics
Investors test reported metrics against audited numbers, and inconsistencies erode trust quickly.
Consumer & E-commerce: frequently asked questions
