Tips for an Amazon Seller with Messy Books

Here are some common traits for Amazon Sellers:


1. You spend hours and hours on bookkeeping and it's not correct.

OR

2. You pay a bookkeeper who is not tech savvy and still uses the same bookkeeping methods from the 80's

OR

3. You just wait until your IRS tax filing extension is almost up and you're stressing about how much the tax guy will charge for reconstructing your books.


One of my most favorite bookkeeping apps is A2X Accounting.  It integrates with Xero and QuickBooks Online.  It exports your summary Amazon sales data directly to your books.  All you have to do is reconcile it to your deposits. The current pricing for a monthly A2X subscription costs starts at $19/month for small businesses, which is less than the cost of calling  your bookkeeper to ask a question.


A2X is super easy to setup.   If you need some help getting started,  please make sure to schedule an appointment with us.

If you're thinking about migrating from QuickBooks Online to Zoho Books, here are some recommendations:

  • Make sure to test each type of transaction that you normally have (e.g, invoicing, applying payments, issuing checks, etc.).  This will help you confirm whether Zoho Books is a good fit for your business.
  • Don't try to import years of historical data.  This can be very labor intensive.  Focus on loading starting balances and open transactions (e.g. customer invoices, bills, etc)
  • Decide how you will handle rounding differences.   It's not uncommon to see rounding differences on customer invoices.   An example would be that an invoice that totals $1,582.77 in QuickBooks Online may round to $1,582.75 in Zoho Books.  These are minor differences, but expect them nevertheless.
  • If your plan is to convert to Zoho One, I strongly recommend implementing Zoho CRM before you migrate to Zoho Books.   
  • Create an organized plan to migrate your data.   This will save you lots of time.
