ACCOUNTING FOR AMAZON SELLERS

Amazon is a trailblazer in the eCommerce industry with innovative technology propelling the online retail industry. If you are a business owner, an Amazon store opens immense opportunities. While many business owners have launched Amazon stores, not all have succeeded.

The online selling model is unique, and tracking cash flow is not accessible if you don’t have the right systems in place. This is one reason most online retail startups fail.

If you have any doubts about selling on Amazon, you only have to look at the numbers. The online digital platform dominates the U.S. e-commerce market with close to 50% market share. Over 196 million people visit Amazon every month, making this the perfect platform to sell your products or services.

In March 2019 alone, over 145.2 million mobile users in the U.S accessed the Amazon app making this the most popular shopping app. In Q1 2019, the online retailer announced a 17% increase in sales to hit $59.7 billion in revenue. With over 353 million products on Amazon, this is the right place to tap customers for your business.

Selling on Amazon increases your business’s sales from the high traffic levels to the platform. It is also the perfect tactic to acquire new customers and build visibility for your new store. With more people now preferring to shop online, you need to place your goods and services where your target customers will most likely see them.

The digital marketing platform is fast-paced, and it is tough for businesses to keep up with the pace. Most Amazon sellers focus on the marketing side of things to stay ahead of the competition and forget the accounting side of things. This is where our team at Rayvat Accounting comes in handy.

Through our accounting experience, we know that accurate Online Bookkeeping Services is the foundation for any eCommerce business. We appreciate that you want to build visibility for your store on Amazon and reach your target customers. While this is important, accounting and bookkeeping until the end of the reporting period portend danger for your business.

You can only make the best business decisions if you have the correct financial data. With accurate accounting for Amazon sellers in place, you will feel your business’s pulse at all times. The data you get will guide you in procurement, marketing, credit, tax compliance, and other aspects of your operations.

Through our interactions with Amazon sellers, we have discovered that unique transactions by Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) and FBMs call for similarly unique Amazon seller accounting solutions. Tracking all the costs of your Amazon store is not easy, and when you procrastinate, there’s a danger of missing some important numbers.

While Amazon has been around for over 24 years, many sellers still struggle to keep up with their financial situation. Our accountants at Rayvat Accounting bring in the expertise you might not have in your team to guarantee you miss nothing. With accurate financial details, you can then make reliable business decisions to gain a competitive edge.

If you want to leverage the incredible opportunities on Amazon, the following are some fundamental considerations in your accounting process.

• Track The Cash Flows

It is easy to ignore the cash flow into your Amazon store as you angle for even higher sales. Our team proposes a business account for seamless accounting processes. We are at hand to monitor the Cash Flow and provide necessary analysis such as pending bills, types of payment methods preferred by customers, popular shopping times at your store, and so much more.

• Counting Inventory

If you are a product seller on Amazon, you have to know the exact number of items in your possession. It is hard to focus on such issues on the digital platform, but our team has adequate systems to help with inventory tracking.

Inventory obsolescence/warehouse shrinkage is a significant consideration and refers to the change in the value of the product in your possession before you sell it.

• Cost of Goods Sold

Our team helps you determine the real cost of goods sold. We evaluate the product plus the total cost of taking it to the market, including packaging, shipping, and other expenses.

• Tracking Sales Data

Amazon will send payments every two weeks, and many Amazon sellers record this as sales, which is a significant error. Our Accountants help to determine the actual purchase by discovering all the costs involved, including warehouse fees, sales tax, FBA fees, shipping fees, returns, and chargebacks. We help you determine the actual sales data for better decision-making.

• Sales Tax Compliance

Tax compliance is tough for any business, but it is even more complicated for an online business. It is easy for a company to ignore E-commerce sales tax for too long leading to massive balances and fines for sales tax liabilities.

Our accountants are well-versed in-laws on economic nexus, physical nexus, click-through nexus, and FBA nexus and will guide you through the sales tax compliance process.
