Bookkeeping for Amazon Sellers in the Rio Grande Valley

Bookkeeping for Amazon sellers in the Rio Grande Valley reconciles every two-week settlement report line by line — separating FBA fees, ad spend, refunds, and reserves from gross sales — so sellers can see the true margin on every SKU, not just whatever number lands in the bank every other Wednesday.

Why do Amazon Sellers struggle with bookkeeping?

Amazon doesn't pay out per order — it pays out on a roughly two-week cycle, bundling hundreds or thousands of individual transactions into one settlement deposit. That single number includes gross product sales, but it also nets out referral fees, FBA fulfillment and storage fees, advertising spend, refunds, chargebacks, and long-term storage penalties, all in one lump sum. Recording that deposit as 'revenue' is close to meaningless — it's actually a dozen different numbers collapsed into one.

FBA fees specifically are where sellers lose visibility. Fulfillment fees vary by product size and weight, storage fees change month to month and spike hard around Q4, and Amazon periodically adjusts its fee structure without much warning. Without pulling the fee detail out of each settlement report, a seller has no reliable way to know how much of their revenue Amazon is actually keeping — or whether a given product category has quietly become unprofitable after a fee increase.

And because most sellers carry dozens or hundreds of SKUs, a lump-sum settlement number tells you nothing about which products are actually making money. A best-seller by unit volume can be a money-loser after FBA fees and ad spend, while a slower-moving SKU with a fatter margin gets ignored — and without per-SKU visibility, sellers keep pushing inventory and ad dollars toward the wrong products.

How Harlingen Bookkeeping LLC helps

Here's how we untangle Amazon settlement reports:

Every settlement report is broken down line by line — gross sales, referral fees, FBA fulfillment and storage fees, ad spend, and refunds — instead of recording one net deposit as revenue.

FBA fees are tracked by category and by month, so fee increases and seasonal storage spikes show up immediately instead of quietly eating margin unnoticed.

Product-level cost of goods is tracked alongside Amazon fees, giving you true profit per SKU — the number that should actually drive what you restock and advertise.

Advertising spend (PPC) is tracked against the sales it drove, so you can see which campaigns are genuinely profitable and which are just moving inventory at a loss.

Which cities do you serve?

Amazon sellers in the Valley operate from home offices and small warehouses near the region's freight and logistics corridors, particularly around Pharr's cold-storage and freight-forwarding hub. We support Amazon sellers based in:

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you break down our Amazon settlement reports?

Yes. We reconcile every settlement report line by line — separating gross sales, referral fees, FBA fees, ad spend, and refunds — so your books show real revenue and real costs instead of one confusing net deposit every two weeks.

Can you show us profit by individual SKU?

Yes. We track cost of goods and Amazon fees at the product level, which shows true margin per SKU — often revealing that a best-selling product by volume isn't actually your most profitable one once fees are factored in.

Do you track FBA storage and fulfillment fees separately?

We do. FBA fulfillment and storage costs are tracked by product category and by month, so fee increases and seasonal storage spikes — especially heading into Q4 — show up right away instead of silently shrinking your margin.
