E-commerce Accountants — FAQs
Why do online sellers need a specialist?
Because a Shopify payout is not revenue — it's revenue minus fees, refunds and holds, often days after the sale. Specialists reconcile channel-by-channel, track true product margins, and keep inventory accounting from silently corrupting your numbers.
Do I charge GST selling overseas?
Exports are generally GST-free, while Australian sales count toward your GST turnover — and marketplaces sometimes collect GST on your behalf. The right setup depends on your channels, which is a one-hour conversation with the right accountant.
What software stack do e-commerce accountants use?
Commonly Xero or QuickBooks connected through a channel integrator (A2X, Dext or similar) that turns marketplace settlements into clean journals. If an accountant proposes manual entry of your Amazon settlements, keep looking.
