Managing a retail or wholesale business means keeping pace with fast-moving inventory, complex supplier relationships, and financial demands that shift with every season. At Gordon Du & Associates, we provide the accounting support and strategic oversight you need to protect your margins, maintain healthy cash flow, and grow your operations with confidence.
Our Retail & Wholesale Accounting Services
1. Inventory Management & Costing
We track your Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), reconcile stock movements with your existing systems, and help you identify slow-moving inventory before it ties up your working capital. You'll know exactly where your margins stand by product line, by category, by supplier.
2. GST & International Trade Compliance
Importing goods adds layers of complexity to your GST obligations. We handle BAS lodgement, manage GST on imports and customs duty, and ensure your filings are accurate and on time so you stay compliant with ATO requirements without the guesswork.
3. Cash Flow Forecasting
Seasonal peaks and quiet periods can put serious pressure on your liquidity. We analyse your revenue cycles and build forecasts that help you plan stock purchases, manage supplier payments, and avoid cash shortfalls - giving you the confidence to make decisions ahead of time, not in reaction to them..
4. Multi-Channel Bookkeeping
Whether you sell through Shopify, Square, a traditional POS, or a combination of all three, we consolidate your sales data into a single, accurate financial picture. No more reconciling platforms manually - just clean books and real-time visibility into your business performance.
5. Business Structure & Tax Efficiency
As your business grows, the right structure matters. We review whether your current setup - sole trader, company, or trust - is working for you, and advise on restructuring where it can improve tax efficiency and protect your assets as you scale.

What this looks like in practice
A wholesale client of ours - a food distributor supplying independent grocers across Perth - came to us overwhelmed by supplier reconciliations and with no clear picture of which product lines were actually profitable. Within a few months of working together, they had monthly P&L reports broken down by category, a cash flow forecast that gave them confidence to negotiate better supplier terms, and a clearer view of where to focus their growth. The paperwork didn't change but what they could do with it did.
Ready to get clarity on your numbers?
We take the time to understand how your business actually operates before making any recommendations. No one-size-fits-all packages just practical, personalised accounting support built around your retail or wholesale operation.
