Our Story

Why E-commerce & FMCG Brands Choose LFS

We’ve spent years specialising in e-commerce and FMCG because we saw the gap between traditional accounting and founders not understanding the numbers.

They were scaling fast, but their finance function wasn’t keeping up.

Today, we’re trusted by growing brands, established groups and investors to take full ownership of their finance function, ensuring their numbers are accurate, their reporting is reliable, and their decisions are backed by clarity.

We understand how e-commerce businesses operate, from platform complexity to margin pressure and cash flow challenges. You name it, we’ve seen it.

A fractional finance team with the in-house experience that you can rely on, at every stage of your business.

The LFS difference

Most accountants don't speak ecommerce.

Traditional firms treat e-commerce like any other business. They miss the nuances – multi-channel revenue, platform fees, fulfilment costs, refund cycles, and international VAT complexity.

We built LFS specifically for this world. Every person on your team lives and breathes ecommerce finance – so nothing gets missed, and nothing gets misunderstood.
