How We Run Monthly Bookkeeping for Australian Shopify Sellers

Most Shopify owners I meet have the same problem at the same point in the year — usually around BAS quarter-end.

Their Shopify payouts arrive in the bank as net amounts. Fees, refunds, gift cards and currency conversions are buried inside those deposits. PayPal and Stripe land on different days at different amounts. By the time they open Xero to lodge BAS, the numbers don’t line up with reality — and they’re not sure which figures to trust.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not behind because you’re disorganised. You’re behind because Shopify accounting is genuinely complex, and most generic bookkeepers don’t specialise in it.

That’s exactly what we do.

Stream Your Accounting is a small, Xero-certified bookkeeping team serving Australian and New Zealand small businesses — with a focus on Shopify and e-commerce brands. We’re a Xero Bronze Partner, I’m a QuickBooks Online specialist, and I’ve been doing remote bookkeeping for small businesses since 2009.

We’ve written a one-page document that explains exactly how we run a Shopify client’s books each month — from the daily A2X sync to the monthly report that hits your inbox by the 5th business day.

It’s the same document we send to prospects on a discovery call, so you’ll see precisely what working with us looks like before you commit to anything.
