Lodge Your BAS Without Spending Hours on It

Your sales and purchases are auto-categorised with the right GST. Preparing your BAS takes minutes, not a full weekend.

BAS-ready GST reports in ProfitBooks accounting software for Australia

Automatic GST Tracking — zero manual sorting

Every tax invoice you raise in ProfitBooks captures GST at 10% automatically, and GST-free or input-taxed items are treated correctly. When BAS time comes, your G1, 1A and 1B figures are already worked out — you just review and lodge. No more weekends buried in spreadsheets.

The Right GST calculated correctly every time

ProfitBooks applies the correct GST treatment automatically — taxable, GST-free, or input-taxed — so your BAS adds up. Incorrect GST is one of the most common reasons businesses get ATO queries, and this removes that risk completely.

  • BAS-ready figures — labels G1, 1A & 1B
  • Tax invoices & adjustment notes tracked
  • GST-free & input-taxed items handled
  • Cash or accruals GST accounting basis

Match Your Bank Transactions in Minutes — Not Days

Spot Unrecorded Transactions before they become a problem

Bank reconciliation isn't just about ticking boxes — it's how you catch missing entries, double-payments, and expenses you forgot to record. ProfitBooks flags every unmatched transaction so nothing slips through, and your books stay clean for BAS and audits.

  • Import CSV/Excel statements from any Australian bank
  • Auto-match receipts to invoices & payments to bills
  • Record deposits, withdrawals & contra entries

Frequently Asked Questions

ProfitBooks is one of the best GST accounting software options for Australian small businesses because it combines GST tax invoicing, bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, and BAS-ready reporting in a single cloud-based platform. It's simple enough for non-accountants to use from day one, applies the 10% GST automatically (and handles GST-free and input-taxed items), and has a free plan with no time limit — making it accessible at every stage of business growth.
Yes — ProfitBooks is built for Australian small businesses including sole traders, tradies, retailers, service providers, and growing SMBs. It handles the day-to-day tasks these businesses face: GST tax invoicing, expense tracking, bank reconciliation, and BAS preparation. You don't need to hire a full-time accountant or run clunky desktop software to keep clean books.
Yes. ProfitBooks captures GST at 10% on your tax invoices and purchases and prepares your BAS figures — including G1 (total sales), 1A (GST on sales) and 1B (GST on purchases) — directly from your data. GST-free and input-taxed items are handled correctly, so when it's time to lodge, the figures are already worked out. You can lodge through the ATO yourself, or share access with your accountant or BAS agent.
ProfitBooks has a free Startup plan with no time limit — it includes GST tax invoicing, basic bookkeeping, expense tracking, and financial reports for a single user. Paid plans start from $9.95 per month and add multiple users, inventory management, advanced reports, and priority support. There are no per-invoice charges and no surprise fees. You can see full pricing at profitbooks.net/pricing.
Traditional desktop accounting software like MYOB is installed on one machine, can be costly, and often has a steep learning curve. ProfitBooks is cloud-based — you access it from any browser or mobile device, anywhere. It applies GST automatically, includes bank reconciliation and 45+ reports, and is designed for business owners who are not accountants. For Australian small businesses that want simplicity, BAS-ready reporting and remote access, ProfitBooks is a practical, affordable choice.
Yes — ProfitBooks is designed specifically for business owners who are not accountants. You don't need to understand double-entry bookkeeping, journal entries, or ledger management. You create tax invoices, record expenses, and import your bank statement — the software handles the GST and accounting entries automatically in the background. Most users are fully set up and creating invoices within 30 minutes of signing up.
Download your bank statement as a CSV or Excel file from your online banking and upload it into ProfitBooks. The system automatically matches each transaction against your recorded invoices, bills, and expenses. Matched entries are confirmed instantly. Unmatched entries are flagged for your review — so you can catch anything missing before BAS time. The whole process typically takes about 15 minutes for a month's transactions.
Yes. ProfitBooks stores your data on secure cloud servers with encryption, automatic backups, and role-based access control. You decide who can see what — your team sees invoices, your accountant sees reports, and sensitive financial data is only visible to admins. Unlike desktop software where your data lives on a single hard drive, cloud storage means your books are safe even if your device is lost or damaged.
Yes — multi-user access is available on paid plans. You can add team members with specific roles: staff can create invoices, your manager can view reports, and your accountant or BAS agent gets read-only access at BAS time. Everyone works from the same real-time data, so there's no version confusion or duplicate entry. The free Startup plan supports a single user.
Yes. ProfitBooks handles both product and service businesses within the same account. Service businesses — consultants, tradies and agencies — use it for GST tax invoicing, expense tracking, and BAS preparation. Product businesses — retailers and manufacturers — additionally get inventory management, stock tracking, purchase orders, and production recording. You can even run a mixed business from the same account.
