Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with retail businesses?
Yes. Cotchy works with a wide range of Australian retailers, from single-store owners to multi-location chains and online-plus-physical retailers. We tailor our bookkeeping and accounting services to suit how your store operates.
Can you reconcile our POS system with our accounting software?
Yes. We regularly reconcile point-of-sale systems with platforms like Xero and QuickBooks, so your daily sales, card fees and takings are accurately recorded.
Can Cotchy help us understand our margins and stock position?
Yes. Accurate bookkeeping is only the start. We can provide reporting and practical insights that help you understand profitability by product line, monitor cash flow and make informed stock decisions.
We already have a bookkeeper. Can you just do our accounting and tax?
Our preferred approach is to manage your bookkeeping, accounting and tax together under one roof at Cotchy. This removes the back and forth between separate service providers and helps ensure everything is handled efficiently and on time by one team. If you need to keep your existing bookkeeper, we’re happy to discuss this with you and see what arrangement would work best.
Can you support multi-location or franchise retailers?
Yes. Our services scale with your business, whether you’re running one store or several, with consolidated reporting so you always see the full picture.
Do you only work with Melbourne businesses?
No. While Cotchy is proudly Australian-owned and Melbourne-based, we support retail businesses across Australia using secure cloud accounting software and online collaboration.
Let's simplify the financial side of your store.
Your focus is your customers and your stock. Ours is making sure the money side of your business stays organised, compliant and working just as hard as you do. Work with Cotchy today.
