Selling online means a tangle of platform fees, payment gateways, refunds and GST that most accountants never have to untangle. We connect it all to clean books, get the GST right – imports and overseas sales included – and keep the tax planned.

An online store looks simple from the outside – money comes in, stock goes out. Underneath, it’s one of the messier businesses to keep books for. Every sale passes through a platform and a payment gateway, each taking fees, each reporting differently, and each handling refunds and chargebacks in its own way. By the time the money lands in your bank, it bears little resemblance to what the customer paid – and reconciling the two is where most eCommerce bookkeeping falls apart.
Then there’s GST, which gets genuinely complicated the moment you import stock or sell overseas. Imported goods, the low-value imported goods rules, GST-free exports, digital products to overseas customers – each has its own treatment, and the ATO’s data-matching is good. Getting it right protects your margin; getting it wrong turns into a bill with interest.
Your sales channels and payment gateways connected to Xero or MYOB, reconciled to the bank cleanly.
Imports, low-value goods, exports and digital sales treated correctly, with BAS lodged on time.
Cost-of-goods and stock tracking so you can see the real margin on every product.
Tax planning, structuring for growth and cross-border sales, and EOFY accounts and returns.
We connect Shopify, Amazon, eBay and the payment gateways to your accounting file, so fees, refunds and payouts reconcile properly. When the bookkeeping is right, the BAS and your return stop being a guess.
Selling online raises GST questions a normal retailer never faces. We make sure imports, exports and digital sales are treated correctly, so a later review doesn’t turn into a bill.
Total sales tell you almost nothing. We set up cost-of-goods and inventory tracking so you know which products make money and which just make noise.
