About 5-Gen Books
5-Gen Books is the name for special types of accounting services offered by Maravedi VIII, LLC. Our mission is to provide expert bookkeeping that actually works for eCommerce. And to educate online sellers so that they make the better choices in hiring a bookkeeper when they no longer can keep up themselves. And along the way to teach financial literacy so that you can use the numbers from financial statements to make better decisions about the entire business. Not just focused on the very important core sales operation metrics that you can get on the sales platform.
When you get 5-Gen Books as a brand of services, you will be contracting with Maravedi VIII, LLC as the company that delivers the brand and stands behind it. Think of this like Oreo Cookies are made by Nabisco. On other pages of this website, you learn about the services, how and why of 5-Gen Books. Let’s look at Maravedi VIII, and Laura Viola, the founder and owner.

What is a maravedi?
Maravedi is an early unit of account used in Spain beginning in the late middle ages. You may be familiar with gold doubloon coins from the pirate days. Spanish gold coins were worth hundreds of maravedis. Small change was copper coins called maravedis and stamped with the number of maravedis. I like the Maravedi VIII coin. A cool penny of it’s day! The sound of the word is just musical (the accent is on the final –di).

Even after I took courses in eCommerce accounting methods, I was determined to still make detailed eCommerce inventory items work inside my accounting software. It didn’t. So let’s not keep testing that theory!
