Know what your Amazon ads really cost — and what they really return

Amazon bills advertising outside the settlement, so most sellers' books never see it — the dashboard says profit while the card statement says otherwise. SeroBooks connects to the Amazon Ads API and puts advertising where it belongs: daily spend by campaign type on the same P&L as your fees and returns, TACOS on every period, and a profit line that subtracts what the ads cost.

What you get

Spend by campaign type
Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands and Sponsored Display, tracked daily per marketplace and rolled into every period breakdown.
TACOS on every period
Total advertising cost of sales — ad spend against total revenue, the number that says whether ads are buying growth or eating margin.
Profit after advertising
Your period P&L shows profit before and after ad spend as separate lines, so fees-based margins keep their meaning and the after-ads truth sits right under them.
Attribution shown honestly
Ad-attributed sales keep settling for about two weeks — young figures are marked as estimates instead of being presented as final.
Beside the rest of the money
Referral fees, FBA fulfilment, storage, reserves, refunds and advertising on one statement — the whole cost side of selling on Amazon in one place.
One consent, per seller
Each seller authorises access through Amazon's own Login with Amazon consent — revocable any time, tokens encrypted at rest.

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't my accounting software already show ad spend?

Because Amazon invoices card-paid advertising completely outside the settlement reports that accounting integrations read. Ads data only exists in the Amazon Ads API, which is a separate authorisation — SeroBooks connects to it directly.

What is TACOS and why does it matter?

Total Advertising Cost of Sales: ad spend divided by total revenue. ACOS only compares spend to ad-attributed sales; TACOS compares it to everything, which is what tells you if the whole business depends on paid traffic.

Does this change my net profit numbers?

It adds lines rather than rewriting them: profit before advertising keeps its definition, and profit after advertising appears beneath it with the spend itemised in between.
