E-Commerce Brands: your books, closed by the fifth business day.
Quick answer
For e-commerce brands, TrainedBooks catches your books up and keeps them clean: a person does the cleanup, using our software. Every bank and card transaction is sorted with a plain-English reason, and you get your real profit and a location-aware tax set-aside (real federal + your state's rates), and prepares a tax-ready package so your tax pro just reviews and files. You review the few flagged items and own an exportable ledger. The diagnostic is free with no card required; a one-time cleanup starts at $1,500 and Keep-Clean at $49/mo, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. It is bookkeeping, not a tax preparer, and it does not file returns.

Small online stores selling through Shopify, Amazon, and Stripe. TrainedBooks closes the month by the fifth, with payouts reconciled, inventory and ad spend categorized, and 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.
Our volume is high. Does that work?
Yes, and above about 100 transactions a month the cleanup is quoted rather than sold at the flat price, so the price fits the actual work. The Keep-Clean plans cover more accounts monthly. You own the ledger and can export the full register anytime.
