Amazon Accounting Comes With Unique Challenges – We’re Built for Them

Selling on Amazon isn’t like running a traditional shop – it’s fast, complex, and packed with financial quirks that most generalist accountants just don’t understand.

From deciphering Amazon Seller Central reports and tracking FBA fees, to managing cost of goods sold across multiple SKUs, keeping accurate financial records can feel overwhelming. And when tax time rolls around? That’s when the real stress hits.

But here’s the good news – you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

At Smallbutcool, we specialise in Amazon accounting services for sellers across the UK and internationally. We know how to handle the fine print – like sales data reconciliation, sales tax obligations, and navigating the intricacies of online business taxes.

We also help you avoid costly errors, like missed tax deductions, misreported financial data, and outdated accounting systems that can’t keep up with your store’s volume.

Cash vs Accrual Accounting – What’s Best for Your Amazon Business?

If you’re an Amazon seller, choosing the right accounting method can make a big difference to how you understand your financial performance and manage your business finances.

At Smallbutcool, we work with you to choose and implement the best method for your business – ensuring your records are accurate, your tax returns are correct, and your reports reflect reality.

Cash Accounting

With cash accounting, you record financial transactions when money actually moves in or out of your bank account. It’s simple and often used by small businesses with low overhead.

Pros:

  • Easier to manage and understand
  • Works well for early-stage or low-volume Amazon FBA businesses
  • Helps monitor cash flow in real time

Cons:

  • Doesn’t show how your business is really performing over time
  • Doesn’t properly match sales with related costs like Amazon fees or cost of goods sold

Accrual Accounting

With accrual accounting, you record revenue when it’s earned (e.g. a product is sold on Amazon), and expenses when they’re incurred – even if no cash has moved yet. This gives a more accurate view of net profit and financial health.

Pros:

  • Aligns income and expenses for a clearer picture of performance
  • Essential for high-volume stores and businesses seeking funding
  • Makes tax and financial reporting more reliable

Cons:

  • Slightly more complex (but don’t worry—we handle the heavy lifting)
  • Needs solid systems like Xero and support from an experienced team

We typically recommend accrual accounting for established or fast-growing Amazon FBA sellers, but we’ll advise you based on your goals, margins, and business setup.
