Big Orders Land. Then the Cash Flow Crunch Hits.

Importing and wholesale runs on tight margins, long lead times, and big upfront commitments. Here's where it usually hurts.

1

Currency Fluctuations Eating Your Margin

You locked in an order at one exchange rate, but by the time payment is due the AUD has moved against you. A 5% currency swing on a $200k order just cost you $10k in margin — and nobody saw it coming.

2

Cash Flow Crunch on Every Big Order

You need to pay suppliers upfront (or on short terms), but your customers pay you on 30, 60, or 90-day terms. Every large purchase order creates a cash flow gap that threatens your ability to operate.

3

No True Landed Cost Per Product

Purchase price, shipping, customs duty, insurance, quarantine, and local freight — your real landed cost is buried across multiple invoices and currencies. You're pricing without knowing what each product actually cost to get to your warehouse.

4

Inventory Tying Up All Your Working Capital

You need to hold significant stock to fulfil orders, but too much inventory locks up cash you need for operations. Too little and you can't service your customers. Nobody's modelling the sweet spot.

How We Help

Specialist Accounting Built for Importers & Wholesalers

Nine services tuned to the realities of multi-currency purchasing, big inventory commitments, and the cash flow gap between supplier and customer.

📦

Landed Cost Tracking

We calculate true landed cost per product — purchase price, freight, duty, insurance, and local logistics — across multiple currencies and suppliers. Your pricing is finally based on real numbers.

💵

FX Exposure & Margin Protection

We track your foreign currency exposure, model the margin impact of exchange rate movements, and help you build strategies to protect your profit from currency swings.

📊

Working Capital & Inventory Optimisation

We model the cash impact of your inventory levels and help you find the balance between stock availability and cash tied up on the shelf. Better stock management means more cash in the bank.

💰

Cash Flow Forecasting

Large supplier payments, long customer terms, and seasonal demand create massive cash flow variability. We build rolling forecasts so you can plan purchases and manage gaps with confidence.

🏢

Tax Strategy & Structure

Proactive tax planning for importers and wholesalers. We advise on structuring for multi-entity operations, GST on imports, and strategies to minimise your tax position as you scale.

💻

Daily Xero Management & BAS

Books updated daily across multiple currencies. Supplier payments tracked. BAS lodged on time — including GST on imported goods. You manage the supply chain — we manage the numbers.

📚

Multi-Currency Reconciliation

USD, EUR, CNY, GBP — we reconcile every foreign currency transaction in Xero, isolate FX gains and losses, and ensure your AUD reporting is clean and audit-ready.

🚚

Trade Finance & Funding Advisory

From invoice factoring to trade finance facilities, we help you assess and structure funding options that bridge the gap between supplier payment and customer settlement.

📝

Customer Margin & Pricing Reviews

We analyse profitability by customer, channel, and SKU — so you know which accounts are growing your business and which are quietly eroding your margin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We manage multi-currency transactions daily in Xero — tracking purchases in USD, EUR, CNY, or any other currency, reconciling exchange rate differences, and ensuring your Australian-dollar reporting is always accurate. You see the real margin, not a number distorted by unreconciled FX.
We track every cost component per product and per shipment — supplier invoice, freight, customs duty, insurance, quarantine charges, and local delivery. All costs are allocated to the correct product lines so your landed cost reflects reality, not a rough average.
This is one of the core challenges we solve for importers. We forecast the cash flow gap created by your payment terms, plan for it in advance, and help you explore options like trade finance, invoice factoring, or renegotiated terms — so you can fulfil orders without running dry.
Absolutely. GST on imports can be complex — especially with deferred GST schemes and varying duty classifications. We ensure your BAS correctly accounts for import GST, that you're claiming the right credits, and that your reporting is ATO-compliant.
We analyse your inventory turnover, identify slow-moving lines, and model the cash impact of your stock holding levels. The goal is to find the sweet spot between having enough stock to service customers and not tying up more cash than necessary on the warehouse floor.
