With ongoing digitization and the rapid expansion of e-commerce platforms like Amazon, the landscape of retail is constantly being redefined. This development has led to the Amazon FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) business becoming increasingly popular in Switzerland as well. Therefore, it is crucial for Swiss fiduciaries and accountants to familiarize themselves with this growing industry and continuously update their knowledge and skills.
Why is continuing education important for fiduciaries and accountants?
Amazon FBA business differs from traditional business models in several aspects. For example, the storage costs associated with using Amazon’s fulfillment centers, as well as specific sales and refund terms, can present a unique and complex set of accounting challenges.
By acquiring expertise in this area, fiduciaries and accountants can add significant value to their clients. They are able to provide accurate and relevant advice to maximize the business success of their clients on Amazon. In addition, they can help navigate specific tax and accounting issues that may arise in connection with the Amazon FBA business.
