AMAZON SELLER ACCOUNTING
Amazon Accounting That Goes Beyond Bookkeeping
Your Amazon deposits are only one part of the financial story. Selling fees, FBA costs, refunds, inventory and settlement timing all affect the numbers that matter.
GreenTarget helps established Amazon sellers build reliable QuickBooks Online records, complete a structured monthly close, and understand profitability and cash movements.
- Reconcile Amazon settlements and bank deposits
- Review inventory, landed costs and Cost of Goods Sold
- Turn reconciled accounts into clearer owner-facing reports
From Amazon activity to dependable books
Seller Central tells you what happened on the marketplace. Your accounting should explain the revenue, deductions, inventory costs, cash and profit behind those transactions.
A2X or Link My Books, source settlement reports and a reviewed QuickBooks Online close help establish that connection.
Clarity. Control. Confidence.
Why Amazon sales do not tell the whole financial story
Amazon settlements combine product sales, refunds, promotions, selling fees, FBA charges, reimbursements, reserves and other adjustments. The net amount deposited in the bank is not the same as gross revenue.
Inventory purchases and COGS require separate support. Without settlement reconciliation, dependable inventory information and a disciplined close, financial statements can hide meaningful differences in profit and cash.
Amazon accounting services
Financial records organized around how Amazon sellers actually operate.
Amazon settlement reconciliation
Reconcile settlement activity to sales, fees, refunds, adjustments, clearing balances and cash deposits, including legitimate differences in payout timing.
QuickBooks Online and integrations
Set up or review the chart of accounts, A2X or Link My Books workflows, and supporting records appropriate to your marketplace activity.
Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold
Review available purchasing, landed-cost, valuation and inventory movement records to support accounting entries and identify material gaps.
Historical cleanup and catch-up
Investigate prior-period differences, reconcile records where support is available and document proposed corrections before ongoing monthly work.
Month-end close and financial reporting
Prepare and review agreed reconciliations, key accounts, financial statements, schedules and management commentary.
Fractional controller oversight
Review the financial statements, track exceptions, monitor close priorities and add oversight when bookkeeping is already being maintained.

Inventory and profitability need reliable inputs
Amazon FBA and other fulfillment arrangements can complicate the connection between purchased inventory, quantities on hand, fees, returns and recognized COGS.
We work with available records and make material limitations visible. Detailed SKU profitability requires sufficiently reliable source data, appropriate allocations and a separately agreed scope.
Our preferred systems
- QuickBooks Online
- Amazon Seller Central settlement and inventory reports
- A2X or Link My Books, when appropriate
- Bank and payment records
- Available purchasing, landed-cost and inventory schedules
GreenTarget does not rely on spreadsheet-only bookkeeping as its primary delivery model.
Who we work best with
Established Amazon FBA and multichannel eCommerce businesses that need clean monthly financial records, account reconciliations and reporting they can use to manage the business.
We can coordinate with an existing bookkeeper through a defined fractional controller review scope, or separately address historical records that need cleanup first.
Fixed fees with clear deliverables
Setup, cleanup and recurring accounting are scoped according to sales volume, channel complexity, current record quality, inventory requirements and the level of monthly reporting or oversight.
We explain included deliverables, responsibilities and fees before an engagement begins. Specialized sales-tax advisory and unsupported product-level profitability claims are outside standard scope.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with Amazon FBA sellers?
Yes. We support Amazon-focused businesses, including sellers using FBA and businesses selling through other channels.
Can you work with my existing bookkeeper?
Yes. Financial review and controller oversight can be scoped separately from routine transaction processing.
Do you guarantee SKU-level profitability reporting?
No. Reliable product-level analysis depends on available sales, costs, inventory records and an agreed method.
Is GreenTarget affiliated with Amazon?
No. GreenTarget is an independent accounting services business and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Amazon.
