Small online stores selling through Shopify, Amazon, and Stripe. TrainedBooks closes the month by the fifth — payouts reconciled, inventory and ad spend categorized, refunds netted — so you finally see true margin, a tax set-aside, and a CPA-ready packet.
The problem
Payouts net of fees and refunds, inventory wires to suppliers, ad spend across two platforms, and shipping costs make your real margin almost impossible to see by hand.

Bookkeeping for e-commerce brands — FAQ
Can TrainedBooks reconcile Shopify and Amazon payouts?
Yes. Platform payouts are captured as revenue, and refunds are netted, so your top line reflects what you actually kept — not gross sales before fees.
Does it track inventory and cost of goods?
Supplier wires and inventory purchases are categorized as cost of goods with a reason, so your margin reflects real product cost.
