Handle bookings, deposits, supplier payments, cancellations, commissions, and multi-currency transactions
The Australian travel and tourism sector operates in a fast-moving environment — handling bookings, deposits, supplier payments, cancellations, commissions, and multi-currency transactions daily. Without structured financial systems, profit margins can quickly shrink due to missed commissions, refund errors, or poor cash flow visibility.
Collab Accounting Australia provides specialised bookkeeping and accounting services for travel agencies, tour operators, destination management companies, and online travel platforms across Australia. We help you stay compliant, organised, and financially confident.
- Our Travel & Tourism Accounting Services
Booking & Revenue Tracking
We accurately record customer deposits, final payments, refunds, and cancellations. Each booking is linked to the correct tour or service, allowing clear profit tracking per destination or package.
Receivables & Foreign Currency Management
Airlines, hotels, transport providers, and tour guides must be paid on time. We match invoices against agreed contracts, preventing overpayments and protecting your margins.
Commission & Agent Reconciliation
We track commissions earned from suppliers and payouts to sub-agents. Clear reconciliation ensures no income is missed and all settlements remain transparent.
Multi-Currency & Foreign Transactions
Many Australian travel businesses operate globally. We manage exchange rate differences and foreign transactions accurately, ensuring financial reports reflect true performance.
GST & BAS Compliance
Travel businesses face specific GST treatment depending on domestic and international services. We prepare accurate Business Activity Statements (BAS) and maintain ATO-compliant records to reduce risk.
Cash Flow Forecasting
Tour departures often require supplier payments before final client balances are received. We prepare structured cash flow forecasts so you’re never caught short during peak seasons.
