Profit Calculation - Pain Points

Is Your Store Bleeding Cash?

Most sellers look at their top-line revenue and think they are rich, only to find their bank account empty at the end of the month. Here is why.

Hidden FBA Fees

Amazon quietly changes referral fees, storage rates, and pick-and-pack costs. If you aren't auditing every transaction, you are likely overpaying by thousands.

Unprofitable PPC

Are you spending $10 to make a $8 profit sale? Without knowing your exact "Break-Even ROAS," your ad campaigns might be generating sales but destroying your margins.

The Returns Trap

A high return rate doesn't just mean lost sales; it means unfulfillable inventory costs and disposal fees. We identify which SKUs are costing you more than they earn.

Cash Flow Crunch

Profit on paper doesn't equal cash in the bank. Inventory tie-up and payout delays can bankrupt a profitable business. We help you forecast cash flow reality.

Profit Calculation - FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding the numbers behind your business.

Why is my Amazon payout less than my sales?

This is the #1 confusion for sellers. Amazon payouts deduct referral fees, FBA fees, advertising spend, subscription costs, and "Account Level Reserves" (money held back for returns). Our audit reconciles every single penny so you know exactly where the difference went.

Do you use software like SellerBoard or Helium10?

Yes, we utilize enterprise-grade software tools to aggregate data, but we don't rely on them blindly. Software often miscalculates returns or misses custom duties. Our human team performs a manual "forensic" check to verify the software's numbers against your actual bank statements.

Can you help me get money back from Amazon?

Absolutely. A major part of our audit is identifying "Lost & Damaged" inventory that Amazon never reimbursed you for. We can open cases to recover these funds, which often pays for our service fee entirely.

Is this service useful for tax filing?

While we are not CPAs, our Profit & Loss (P&L) statements are exactly what your accountant needs to file your taxes correctly. We organize your messy Amazon data into clean, categorized reports that save your accountant hours of work.

How often do I get reports?

We provide a detailed "Month-End Close" report by the 5th of every following month. This gives you a finalized view of your previous month's performance. You also get access to a live dashboard for real-time daily estimates.
