Accounting for Amazon Sellers That Keeps Your Books Audit Ready
We handle settlement reconciliation, FBA fee tracking, inventory accounting, and tax compliance, so you always know your real profit.
Accounting That Matches How Amazon Actually Pays You
Selling on Amazon means dealing with biweekly settlements, FBA fees, storage charges, refunds, and ad spend, often bundled into a single deposit that tells you almost nothing about your real profit. Accountsly provides accounting for Amazon sellers who want to know exactly where their money is going, not just what lands in the bank account. We break down every settlement report line by line, track your inventory and cost of goods sold accurately, and keep your books ready for tax season without last minute scrambling. Whether you run a single FBA store or sell across FBA, FBM, and other channels, our accounting for Amazon sellers is built around how your business actually operates.
Why Regular Bookkeeping Falls Short for Amazon Sellers
Amazon settlements bundle gross sales, refunds, FBA fees, ad spend, and reserve holds into one transfer every two weeks, so ordinary bookkeeping only sees the final deposit, not what built it. That is where dedicated amazon FBA accounting comes in: we reconcile every settlement against Amazon's own reports, line by line. If you also sell through Shopify or your own website, our ecommerce accounting service keeps everything in one clear picture.
Our Accounting Services for Amazon Sellers
Here's what our accounting services for Amazon sellers include:
Sales and Settlement Reconciliation
We match every Amazon payout against your settlement report, so gross sales, fees, and refunds are recorded correctly instead of one lump sum.
FBA Fee and Expense Tracking
Storage fees, fulfillment fees, and advertising costs are categorized properly, giving you a true picture of your product level profitability.
Inventory Accounting
We track cost of goods sold and inventory value as stock moves through Amazon's warehouses, so your margins reflect reality, not guesswork.
Sales Tax and VAT Compliance
For sellers on Amazon UK and Amazon EU marketplaces, we help manage UK and EU VAT obligations alongside US sales tax requirements.
Multi-Channel Consolidation
If you sell beyond Amazon, we combine every channel into one consistent set of books so nothing gets double counted or missed.
Monthly Reporting and Cash Flow
You get clear profit and loss statements and cash flow reports every month, not just a bank balance to interpret on your own.
Accountants for Amazon Sellers Who Know the Marketplace
Generic bookkeepers often miss the details that matter most to Amazon sellers, like how reserve balances affect cash flow, or why a return shows up as a negative line item weeks after the original sale. Our team works specifically as accountants for Amazon sellers, which means we already understand Amazon's settlement cycle, its fee structure, and how FBA inventory accounting actually works, before we open your books.
As your business grows, bookkeeping alone is not always enough. Sellers scaling past six or seven figures often need more structured financial guidance, which is where our CFO services and strategic tax planning come in, helping you plan for growth, manage cash reserves, and reduce your tax liability instead of just reporting numbers after the fact.
Amazon Bookkeeping vs Amazon Accounting, What Your Business Actually Needs
Amazon bookkeeping is the day to day recording, categorizing transactions and reconciling settlements. Amazon accounting builds on that with reporting, tax planning and financial insight. If you are behind or just starting out, our Amazon seller bookkeeping service covers the fundamentals, and our catch up accounting service brings disorganized records current first. Need just the bookkeeping for Amazon FBA? We offer that as a standalone service too.

Software We Use for Amazon FBA Accounting
We work with Xero and QuickBooks, along with Amazon focused tools that pull settlement data directly into your books instead of relying on manual entry. For multi channel sellers, we also connect Synder to sync sales, fees, and payouts automatically. Whichever software you already use, our amazon accounting services are built to plug into your existing systems rather than force you into a new one.
Who We Work With
Our amazon seller accounting clients range from private label brands running a single FBA store to multi channel sellers on Amazon, Shopify, and Walmart at once, plus wholesale and retail arbitrage sellers. If Amazon is one of several channels for you, we also handle Shopify accounting, so your numbers stay in one accurate set of books, not scattered across platforms.
Getting Started Is Simple
We start with a short call to understand how you sell, which tools you use, and how far behind your books are. From there we recommend a plan, whether that means catching up historical records or starting fresh this month. See our plans on the pricing page, or reach out directly to talk through your specific business.
