Why Retail Businesses Choose AffordBooksTax

Revenue-Based Pricing

You pay based on what your business earns - not a flat premium rate. Bookkeeping starts from just $98/month.

Multi-Channel Reconciliation

In-store, Shopify, WooCommerce, Afterpay, and marketplaces — we reconcile every sales channel correctly in Xero.

Inventory Cost Tracking

Stock purchases and cost of goods sold recorded properly every month so your profit figures are actually accurate.

Payroll for Retail Staff

Casuals, part-timers, penalty rates - we process payroll every cycle and handle STP lodgement automatically.

100% Cloud-Based

Run your shop from the counter or the stockroom. We work remotely with retailers and boutiques across Australia through Xero.

Fast, Responsive Support

We don't make you wait three days for a reply. If you have a question, we get back to you quickly.

What's Included When You Work With Us

Running a retail business is full-on. Your books shouldn't add to it.

Only Pay What Your Business Actually Earns

Too many retail business owners are paying flat-rate accounting fees that have nothing to do with the size of their business. At AffordBooksTax, your fee is based on your annual revenue – so a boutique turning over $80k pays a very different rate to a retailer turning over $400k.
