Running an Amazon or eCommerce business is exciting until you check your books and realize… things don’t quite add up.
Maybe you’re relying on Inventory Lab or spreadsheets, assuming they’re “good enough.” But when tax season rolls around, or you try to figure out your actual profits, you’re stuck in a mess of missing expenses, confusing fees, and numbers that don’t make sense.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Most eCommerce sellers struggle with bookkeeping because platforms like Amazon and Shopify are great at showing you revenue but not real profits.
Here’s the good news: there’s a way to clean up your books, automate your finances, and never guess your profits again. Let’s break it down.
The Problem: Your Books Are Holding You Back
You’re selling products. Orders are rolling in. But at the end of the month, you’re not sure how much you’re actually making. Here’s why:
- Amazon & Shopify reports only tell part of the story. They show revenue but don’t break down COGS, fees, refunds, and advertising costs which means you’re guessing your actual profit.
- Spreadsheets and Inventory Lab don’t sync with your bank accounts. So expenses get missed, and your financials are never 100% accurate.
- You’re stuck doing manual data entry. Instead of focusing on scaling your store, you’re spending hours fixing numbers or ignoring them altogether.
If your books are a mess, your taxes will be worse and your decisions are based on best guesses instead of real numbers.
This is where eCommerce sellers lose money without realizing it.
