Amazon bookkeeping is unique because it involves managing complex, platform-specific financial data that goes beyond standard bookkeeping practices. Sellers must track not only sales revenue but also Amazon fees, shipping costs, returns, refunds, and inventory expenses, all of which can fluctuate significantly. Additionally, understanding Amazon’s payout schedule, which doesn’t align with traditional accounting periods, adds another layer of complexity. Sellers often deal with international transactions, currency conversions, and sales tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions. Effective Amazon bookkeeping requires specialized knowledge of these intricacies to ensure accurate reporting, compliance, and clear insights into profit margins and overall business performance.
