A normal month of books takes ten minutes. Tax season takes an afternoon.
BucketBooks reconciles your marketplace settlements into tax-form-ready books — every payout matched to its bank deposit — at a fraction of the usual bookkeeping stack.
30-day free trial · no credit card.
Your settlements, payouts, and fees never line up.
A payout isn't your revenue
One Amazon deposit is really gross sales minus a stack of fees. A general ledger books the deposit and calls it a day — so your sales and fees are quietly wrong.
Two tools, two bills
To fix it you bolt a settlement connector onto your ledger, pay for both, and still stitch the pieces together by hand each month.
Then tax season arrives
And none of it maps to a form. You're rebuilding a year of books in a spreadsheet the week before filing.
From bank connection to a filing-ready P&L, in three steps.
Connect your bank
Link your existing bank and card accounts securely through Plaid. Transactions flow in on a schedule — no switching banks, no CSV wrangling.
Import your settlements
Bring in your Amazon, Walmart, and eBay settlement reports. They become the source of truth for gross sales and fees — and every payout is matched to the bank deposit it landed in.
Get books that map to a form
Rules and AI sort everything into tax-form buckets. You get a grouped P&L, a Schedule C view, and a tax summary that ties out to the numbers underneath.
One tool that does the whole job — the right way.
Settlement reconciliation
Your source of truth. Gross sales and fees come from the settlement report, and each payout is reconciled to the matching bank deposit — so the money always ties out.
Tax-form-native output
A chart of accounts mapped to Schedule C and Forms 1120-S, 1120 and 1065. P&L, entity-aware tax summary, and an owner's-equity or basis roll-forward.
Books on autopilot
One Overview that leads with the few things that need you — and says "All caught up" when nothing does. A weekly "This week" summary keeps you current in minutes.
AI with guardrails
AI proposes a category and shows its reason — a label suggestion, never a number. It helps you sort faster; it never touches the math. You stay in control.
Own your books
One-click full export — a SQLite file plus CSVs — any time, on any plan. It keeps working even if your subscription lapses. No hostage, ever.
Works with your existing banks
No switching banks. Scheduled auto-sync, automatic backups, reconciliation, balances, and report exports — the whole loop runs on the accounts you already have.
The numbers on your reports are the numbers in your bank.
Because every settlement is reconciled to a real deposit, your P&L isn't an estimate — it's your actual money, grouped and mapped to the lines a tax pro expects.
- Grouped subtotals — income, cost of goods, and expenses roll up the way a return reads.
- Form-line mapping — Schedule C for sole props and single-member LLCs; 1120-S, 1120 or 1065 for other entities.
- Traceable to the penny — click any number and follow it back to the transactions that made it.

One tool, instead of a stack — for about 60% less.
Sellers usually bolt a settlement connector onto a general ledger, or hand the whole thing to a done-for-you service. Here's how that stacks up.
| BucketBooks Business | QuickBooks + A2X (two-tool stack) | Bench (done-for-you) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical price | $39/mo · $19 first year | ~$97–117/mo | $189–599/mo |
| Settlement reconciliation | Built in | Only via the A2X add-on | Done for you (by their team) |
| Tax-form output | Native | In QuickBooks, not the connector | Their books, their format |
| You own your data | One-click export, anytime | Two exports, two tools | Bench shut down in Dec 2024 and left customers locked out |
A2X and Link My Books are settlement connectors, not a ledger — they still require QuickBooks or Xero on top. Sellerboard is profit analytics, with no books, reconciliation, or tax output. Prices are the providers' published ranges and change over time.
Your books are yours. Your data stays isolated.
- Isolated & encrypted. Each account's books live in their own separate database, encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.
- Read-only bank links. Bank connections go through Plaid. Payments run through Stripe — your card details never touch us.
- Export anytime — even if you cancel. One-click full export keeps working on a lapsed plan. No hostage.
- Organizes your books — not tax advice. BucketBooks doesn't compute taxes or file for you. Confirm numbers with your tax professional.
