What Amazon sellers actually need from accounting software, and an honest look at the main options for UK sellers.
Last updated: 19 September 2026
Short answer: the best setup for most Amazon sellers is a cloud accounting ledger — usually Xero or QuickBooks Online — plus a settlement connector that posts Amazon's payouts into it in detail. For UK sellers on Xero who care most about getting VAT right at a low price, that connector is TrueBooks. If you need several ledgers or many sales channels, A2X or Link My Books are broader choices.
Amazon doesn't pay you order by order. Every 14 days or so it sends one payout, after taking off its fees, advertising, refunds and sometimes VAT. Your bank feed only sees that payout. Amazon accounting software solves this in two layers:
Finaloop is the exception: it combines the two and adds human bookkeepers, which makes it a service rather than a tool.
| Tool | Ledgers | Channels | Starting price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TrueBooks | Xero | Amazon (all marketplaces) | £9.99/mo + VAT | UK Amazon sellers on Xero who want precise UK VAT at a low GBP price |
| A2X | Xero, QuickBooks Online, Sage, NetSuite | Amazon plus several others | ~$29/mo | Sellers or firms needing several ledgers or many sales channels |
| Link My Books | Xero, QuickBooks Online | Amazon, eBay, Shopify, Etsy, TikTok Shop, Walmart, WooCommerce | Low monthly tier (USD) | Multi-channel sellers on Xero or QuickBooks Online |
| Taxomate | Xero, QuickBooks Online, Wave | Amazon, Shopify and others | ~$14/mo | Budget-conscious sellers, including those on Wave |
| Finaloop | Its own ledger (all-in-one) | Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, TikTok Shop and others | Service pricing, higher | US brands wanting done-for-you bookkeeping rather than software |

A UK-built connector focused only on Amazon and Xero. It posts one invoice per settlement that reconciles to the penny, handles Marketplace Facilitator VAT and the August 2024 billing change, and gives a VAT audit view by HMRC box. Priced in pounds from £9.99/month with a 30-day free trial and a built-in migration from other tools. It doesn't support QuickBooks or non-Amazon channels yet. See the Amazon Xero integration.
The longest-established connector, well regarded by accountants, with the widest ledger support. It costs more than the others at most volumes and bills in US dollars. TrueBooks vs A2X.
A popular connector with broad channel support into Xero and QuickBooks Online and strong UK VAT handling. A good fit if you sell on several marketplaces. TrueBooks vs Link My Books.
A lower-cost connector that also supports Wave. Its plans can upgrade automatically if you go over your order limit, so check how that affects your bill.
A done-for-you bookkeeping service for ecommerce brands, aimed at US businesses using US accounting standards. It replaces your ledger rather than connecting to Xero, so it suits brands that want to hand bookkeeping off entirely. TrueBooks vs Finaloop.

You need two things: an accounting ledger such as Xero or QuickBooks Online, and a settlement connector that turns Amazon's payouts into detailed entries in that ledger. Ledgers on their own only see the lump-sum deposit Amazon pays you, not the sales, fees and VAT inside it.
Both work well. In the UK, Xero is the more common choice among ecommerce accountants and supports Making Tax Digital VAT filing. Pick the one your accountant prefers, then choose a connector that supports it — TrueBooks is Xero-only; A2X, Link My Books and Taxomate support both.
For a UK seller, TrueBooks starts at £9.99/month + VAT for up to 200 orders and Taxomate's published plans start from about $14/month. Link My Books also has a low entry tier, while A2X starts higher (around $29/month). Always compare at your actual monthly order volume, because all of them price by orders.
At very low volumes, yes — but each settlement report has hundreds of lines and the UK VAT rules (Marketplace Facilitator VAT, the August 2024 Amazon billing change) are easy to get wrong by hand. Most sellers switch to a connector once they have more than a handful of orders a week.
