We make Amazon FBA accounting a breeze
“Amazon FBA accounting” and “a breeze” are two phrases that few online sellers would put together. The process can be time-consuming and convoluted, with hours spent transcribing figures between this software and that, managing cash flow around fortnightly payments, and for Pan-EU sellers, navigating the minefield of VAT post-Brexit. It’s enough to give anyone a headache.
Fortunately, as specialist eCommerce accountants, we are completely at ease with the complexities involved in Amazon accounting and have made it our mission to lighten the load for our FBA clients. We can make your Amazon FBA finance and accounting processes simpler and more efficient so that you can concentrate on managing and growing your business. We can also offer proactive advice on how to make your business more profitable through tax efficiencies and financial planning.
So, if you have a problem with Amazon accounting, if no one else can help, and if you can find us… maybe you can hire The A-Team.
The benefits of using an Amazon Accountant
The gift of time
Would you rather spend a few hours than a few days each month working on your Amazon accounts? For many e-commerce businesses, this is the single biggest reason for hiring a specialist Amazon accountant. Imagine just how proactive you could be without time spent deciphering Amazon settlements and wading through spreadsheets. Instead, you could invest those precious hours increasing your visibility on Amazon, scaling your product range, identifying operational efficiencies – basically everything you need to do to gain a competitive advantage and grow your business.
Master your cash flow
Managing cash flow as an Amazon FBA business is a challenge, with sellers receiving payment once each fortnight. Ouch. Our specialist e-commerce service will help you to avoid cash flow problems, through watertight management of your accounts and regular reporting. This will provide you with greater clarity of your financial position so that you can make more informed decisions about your Amazon company’s future.
Optimise your business growth post lockdown
Amazon has been a real lifeblood for consumers during lockdown, and as such, many FBA sellers have experienced an influx of new customers and increased sales. While this is tremendous news, it has made the job of accounting an even tougher one, and an even bigger distraction from day-to-day operations. By hiring us to take on the heavy lifting of accounting, you can focus on maintaining and capitalising on your recent sales figures, as we prepare to exit lockdown and the offline retail industry wakes up.
Greater efficiency through integration
The multitude of technology available to e-commerce companies is astounding, and some software combinations are better than others. If you are finding it difficult to grapple with the many combinations of PSPs, inventory apps and accounting software, we can offer valuable advice in finding the right combination for your Amazon business.
Trustworthy advice
Sometimes, you just need the reassurance of a confident and professional accountant’s voice on the phone. We always speak with clarity and tell it like it is, and you can be sure we have your best interests at heart. The team takes great care to get to know our clients and understand their e-commerce business, and as such, they are comfortable to get in touch for ad-hoc advice and feedback.
More cash in your pocket
Our experienced and professional team can help you to extract more cash from your business by offering advice on tax efficiency, claiming tax relief and maximising your profit margin. Kerching.
Our Amazon accounting services
As your Amazon accountant, we can provide a comprehensive range of services to help you gain greater control of your finances. This will free up valuable hours for you to concentrate on operations and make better decisions about the future of your online business. If that sounds good to you, read on to find out about the valuable services we can offer our Amazon FBA clients.
Xero cloud-based accounting software
Amazon sellers know the frustration of translating sales data from Amazon to their books in a coherent and beneficial way. Fortunately, there is a powerful solution to that particular woe in the form of Xero. As Xero Gold Partners, we are keen advocates of this powerful accounting software, which has been a revolution for e-commerce businesses.
By managing your accounts using Xero, sales data moves effortlessly and accurately into your books, so that you can master your cash flow. As it is cloud-based, you can keep on top of your finances in real-time, with live and accurate data at your fingertips wherever you may be. With the extra time and clarity that this affords them, our Amazon seller clients can find time to focus on just that – selling.
A2X integration
Amazon and A2X form a heavenly alliance, especially when used in conjunction with Xero. A2X automatically translates sales data from Amazon settlements and generates an invoice that it posts to Xero. This removes the need for manual entry, eliminates human error and makes it a doddle to reconcile invoices to payments received. If the thought of that makes your heart sing, then talk to us about how we can help you integrate A2X with ease.
Bookkeeping
When managing the complexities of your day-to-day FBA operations, bookkeeping discipline can suffer. This is completely understandable of course, as sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day. The bad news? Inconsistent bookkeeping can result in a major work-up as the tax return deadline looms. The good news? We can take the slog of bookkeeping off of your hands, freeing up your time and ensuring that, come financial year-end, you have a pristine set of accounts ready for HMRC without the last-minute panic. Now, doesn’t that sound good?
VAT registration
As if e-commerce accounting wasn’t quite complicated enough, there is the small matter of VAT to deal with. If you are a Pan-EU Amazon seller, you are now required to be VAT registered in each country, which can be daunting. We can guide you through the process and take care of the paperwork, to ensure that you are fully compliant.
If you are required to register for VAT for the first time, we can undertake the necessary steps for you. We can also take the job of submitting tax returns off of your hands, as well as providing valuable advice on how to claim VAT back on eligible business expenses.
Company tax returns
HMRC are four letters that can strike fear into business owner’s hearts. For many, submitting their annual company tax return is stress that they could do without. Fortunately, we are on hand to relieve the burden and will complete the necessary documents on your behalf and liaise with the good folk of HMRC. We will also submit the necessaries to Companies House accurately and on time, to avoid any nasty penalties.
