Amazon settlement reports combine sales, FBA fees, referral fees, storage costs, refunds, and reimbursements into one deposit every two weeks. Most sellers — and most general bookkeepers — record that deposit as a single “sales” line. Here’s what that actually costs you, and how we fix it:
| What Sellers Struggle With | How Thelonex Solves It It |
|---|---|
| I don't actually know if I'm profitable — Amazon just deposits a number every two weeks. | We break every settlement into sales, fees, refunds, and reimbursements, so your P&L shows true profit by product. |
| I didn't realize storing inventory in FBA warehouses creates sales tax obligations in other states. | We track which states your FBA inventory touches and flag new nexus obligations before they become a compliance problem. |
| I'm months behind and dreading tax season. | Our catch-up process reconstructs your books month-by-month, typically within 1–3 weeks depending on backlog size. |
| My current bookkeeper doesn't understand Seller Central or FBA fees. | We work exclusively with e-commerce sellers, so every hour goes toward your actual data — not learning your business from scratch. |
| I don't have time to reconcile settlement reports manually every month. | We connect A2X to QuickBooks so data flows in automatically, and you get a finished P&L by the 5th working day. |

Amazon settlement reports bundle sales, FBA fees, referral fees, refunds, and reimbursements into a single payout every two weeks. Recording that payout as plain "sales" misstates your revenue and expenses. FBA bookkeeping breaks each settlement into its correct categories so your P&L reflects real profit per product.
Yes. Storing inventory in Amazon's FBA warehouses can create sales tax nexus in every state where your stock physically sits, regardless of where your business is registered. We track which states your inventory touches and flag new nexus obligations as they come up.
We use QuickBooks Online paired with A2X to pull Seller Central settlement data automatically, so fees, refunds, and reimbursements are categorized without manual data entry.
Most catch-up projects take 1–3 weeks, depending on how many months are outstanding and how clean your existing records are. We'll give you a specific timeline after reviewing your Seller Central and bank data during the free consultation.
We work with FBA sellers across a range of revenue levels, from early-stage stores to established multi-SKU brands. Pricing is based on transaction volume and complexity rather than a flat rate, so it scales with your business.
