These are the strategic gaps we close β the ones that cost real money when they are ignored.
Amazon takes 15%. Shopify takes 2.9%. Your own site takes nothing but costs you marketing. We build the model that shows true profit by channel β not gross revenue.
Selling overseas or importing inventory? GST treatment, customs duty, and withholding rules vary by country. We make sure you comply without overpaying.
If you are operating across platforms and jurisdictions, sole trader structure is a liability trap. We build the entity that protects your assets and gives you tax flexibility as you scale.
Every deliverable is principal-signed. Not delegated, not templated β built for your situation.
You know your real margin by channel and product. Your tax structure is built for cross-border trade. And your financial model is the one investors or banks actually trust.
βThey showed me one product category was running at 4% margin while another was at 38%. I shifted spend and grew profit 22% without increasing revenue.β

Yes. Amazon Australia is a marketplace facilitator and generally collects and remits GST on your behalf for sales to Australian consumers. However, you still need to account for this correctly in your BAS β the gross sale, the GST component, and the Amazon settlement are three different numbers.
The ATO requires inventory to be valued at cost, market selling value, or replacement value β whichever is lowest. For e-commerce with imported goods, "cost" includes purchase price, shipping, customs duty, and insurance. We build the valuation schedule.
Shipping costs to customers are a cost of sale β deductible in the year incurred. Shipping costs for inbound inventory are part of inventory cost and deducted when the goods are sold. We track both separately.
