We've been working with Social Commerce Accountants for a few years now as our sole accounting partners. They helped us get our first tax return done easily and efficiently. Sam & Zunair are fantastic at helping small businesses with their accounting needs. Beyond this, they've helped us organise our small business and get everything set up from an accounting perspective. They also helped us with other detailed parts of the business, like all correspondence with HMRC from a tax perspective. They're a great team and will be sure to keep using them as we scale!

We're so glad that Sam was our accountant for our first end-of-year accounts and dividend share classes. He is so professional, knowledgeable, responsive to messages, easy to talk to and really went above and beyond to explain the ins and outs of what he was doing and help us to understand the processes involved. I highly recommend Sam and hope to work with him again!

Sam approached me via Upwork when I was looking for a new accountant / credit controller. His pitch was simple and straight to the point; no-jargon or hidden fees. And what’s more, at a very competitive price point.

Although apprehensive due to his company being brand-new, I decided to take a leap of faith… I knew I had made the right decision within about two weeks. His attention to detail, overall knowledge, best-practices and reliable communication are truly impressive, and a HUGE step-up from our previous, traditional accountancy firm.

Sam undertakes the following work for me; P&L, Balance sheets, company valuation, payroll and invoicing – I am yet to encounter something Sam cannot handle.

In regard to our day-to-day communications, Sam is a pleasure to speak too with a constant positive attitude (except Monday mornings with a constant positive attitude (except Monday mornings….). I prefer WhatsApp for messaging, and Sam was happy to accommodate this. We have a great relationship, and I would have no problem recommending him to any of my associates.

I look forward to developing our relationship.

Keep up the great work Sam.

Sam and Zunair are the best accountant team we've work with so far. They are meticulous, knowledgeable, and responsive. We completed our first YE account swiftly, and we learned a lot throughout the process. They also share advice and detailed guidance for our limited company set up. We highly recommend this team.

Sam helped us integrate Shopify and Xero through Synder for our accounting and online store. The project turned out to be more complex than we anticipated, but Sam was incredibly thorough and helpful throughout the whole process. He went above and beyond, putting in extra effort and time where needed to ensure everything worked perfectly. His communication, expertise, and dedication made a challenging task much easier. We highly recommend working with him!

Sam was great at doing my annual accounts and tax return. He didn’t have very much time to do it and I’m very grateful that he was able to do it within a short timeline. His communication was excellent, as was the quality of his work, and I would recommend him, and I intend to use him next year.

Working with Sam and Social Commerce Accountants has been one of the best business decisions I have ever made. I have moved from a dated, faceless accountancy firm to a small business that is always willing to go that extra mile for me. Communication, efficiency and friendliness are just a few of the qualities in which Social Commerce Accountants excel. My accounts have been a breeze since working with Sam and his team and it allows me to focus much more on the business side of things. My only regret is that I wish I had made the switch sooner; I would have saved myself so many headaches.

I’ve found working with Sam and Social Commerce Accountants to be an extremely positive experience, and it’s great to have his support as I establish my own data science company, Eudemo.

Sam is always quick to respond to potential issues, very communicative, and things are never too much of a problem for him.

I’ve particularly appreciated Social Commerce Accountants' ability to help with all aspects of the accounting and finance side - from monthly bookkeeping to payroll and accounts, through to handling my tax returns as a director - at an affordable rate.

Having a one stop shop like that makes things significantly easier, especially as a solo founder.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sam to anyone who’s starting their own business and wants to free themselves up to focus on where they’re adding value - as well as having a trusted advisor.

About Social Commerce Accountants

Built for TikTok sellers, influencers, affiliates, and eCom brands who don't want a "traditional" accountant slowing them down.

Our Story

We launched in 2021 with one clear goal: to build the accounting firm that ecommerce sellers actually need.

What started as Guide Hustle quickly evolved into a specialist firm supporting TikTok Shop brands, Amazon FBA sellers, Shopify operators, and creators making serious money online—but struggling with accountants who didn't understand how they worked.

Traditional firms couldn't keep up. They didn't know how TikTok Shop pays, how to track affiliate revenue, or what software you actually need to stay profitable.

So, we did things differently.

Co-founded by Sam Hoye, Social Commerce Accountants brings together a small, tight-knit team with over 50 years of combined experience in eCommerce and digital finance. We've built:

  • Seamless platform integrations
  • AI-backed pricing tools
  • Transparent monthly packages that scale with your growth
  • Recovered thousands in unclaimed VAT for clients

We now work with over 50 clients across the UK, US, and Europe, helping brands stay compliant, lean, and ready to grow—with zero fluff and no explaining your own business back to your accountant.
