Accounting for Amazon sellers

Marketplace fees, FBA inventory and multi-state sales tax.

Overview

Accounting for an Amazon seller means breaking each settlement report into its real components — revenue, referral fees, FBA fees, storage, refunds and reimbursements — instead of booking the deposit as a single number.

Amazon's settlement report is dense on purpose: dozens of fee types, adjustments and reimbursements inside one payout every two weeks. Sellers who don't decompose it usually can't answer the only question that matters — which products actually make money after Amazon takes its share.

There's a second problem unique to FBA: inventory sitting in fulfilment centres across multiple states can create sales tax nexus you didn't choose. We track both.

What we handle

  • Settlement report decomposition into revenue and each fee type
  • FBA fulfilment, storage and long-term storage fees
  • Referral and closing fees by category
  • Reimbursements for lost or damaged inventory
  • Inventory valuation across fulfilment centres
  • Sales tax nexus tracking created by FBA inventory placement
  • Product-level profitability after all Amazon costs
