Reckon is an established Australian accounting brand. Here's how it compares for resellers specifically.
Reckon is an Australian accounting software company with a long history. Its products include Reckon One (cloud-based) and Reckon Accounts (desktop, historically based on QuickBooks). It's well-established with Australian accountants and has solid compliance features for BAS, payroll, and financial reporting.
Reckon offers strong Australian compliance — BAS preparation, STP payroll reporting, and integration with the ATO's online services. It's reasonably priced compared to Xero, and Reckon One's modular pricing means you only pay for the features you use. The invoicing and expenses modules are competent.
Reckon shares the same fundamental limitations as other general accounting platforms for resellers: no eBay or Depop integration, no per-item COGS tracking for unique resale items, and a feature set designed for service businesses and traditional retail rather than online reselling. The interface also feels less modern than Xero or QuickBooks.
Reckon is a competent, affordable Australian accounting tool — but it's not built for resellers. If your accountant specifically uses Reckon, it can work with manual workarounds. Otherwise, purpose-built reseller tools are a better investment. See our full software comparison and Franked vs Xero for more context.
