Drive. Import the weekly statement. Review the books.
Import the weekly platform statement and capture fuel receipts. myaccountant separates fares, fees, tips, GST and expenses for a rideshare sole trader.
For: Uber, DiDi, Ola, and other rideshare drivers, plus food delivery drivers on Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Menulog.
Not for: taxi drivers using a traditional dispatch system (the workflow can still be adapted, but the statement-import step assumes a digital platform).
The before state.
Without this workflow, rideshare income, bank deposits, platform fees and fuel receipts have to be reconstructed by hand. GST adds pressure from the first dollar.
How it works.
-
Step 1, Connect the platform
In the Business module, go to Integrations and select your rideshare platform. Authenticate with the platform's secure consent flow. Your weekly statements will import automatically from that point forward.

Step 1: Connect the platform, screenshot pending capture. -
Step 2, Weekly statements import automatically
Each weekly statement imports into your books. Fares become income, platform fees become expenses, tips are separated, and the net deposit is matched to your bank feed.

Step 3, Log your fuel and other expenses
Photograph fuel receipts through the mobile app. myaccountant reads the amount, applies your work-use percentage, and posts the deductible portion. The same pattern works for servicing, tyres, insurance and phone bills.

Step 4, Your tax position updates in real time
The dashboard shows current-year income, deductions, estimated GST and estimated income tax. When BAS time arrives, the draft is prepared from the ledger.

What you get at the end.
Fares, fees, tips and fuel are in the books without a spreadsheet. GST is tracked from the start, and income tax is visible before September.

Different tasks, same underlying approach: automate the boring parts, keep the human in the loop for the decisions that matter, make every workflow end with your books updated.
