Can anyone recommend an accountant in Perth?

Hi Dee

I have recently found a guy at RSM Bird Cameron, he has saved us heaps of money since joining his company.

I previously was using an accountant in Rockingham for the last ten years, but found he was too reactive, it was always after the end of the tax year that i found out i had to pay tax through capital gains. I knew prior that i would have to pay a capityal gains tax bill, but i expected that they would suggest strategies before the end of the financial year that would at least minimise the CGT bill.

This firm allocates a case manager, usually around $150 p/hr and any serious tax issues they use a tax specialist approx $300 p/hr. Your probally thinking it is expensive, but what he saved us in the first two meetings, was 20 times the amount i would of lost to the tax man.

He wont tell you exactly what to invest in, but he will certaintly structure your investments, whether they be through a trust , or SMSF.
He will ask for your tax records prior to the finacial year, so he can look at your situation and act accordingly to minimise your tax.

I dont know if it is the company or the man himself, but he has certaintly been the best find for us in recent years in regards to building our portfolio.

You dealing with an accountant from the country is no different than myself from the country dealing with an accountant in the city.

If you want any more info, feel free to contact me via email, otherwise i am sure they have a branch in Perth.

Hi Dee Dee

I use Mack & co. west perth, I have been a senior bookkeeper for 25yrs here and melb and they are one of only 2 I would recommend in Perth.

I have never been shocked by the bill – value for money and they offer advice B4 you ask. We have a family trust, a co., SMSF, IP’s,Share and now my little business. So lots for them to consider for our structures and tax

Hola,

I too use Mack and Co.

Partner Tony Maclean is an investor and a gun when it comes to any tax questions I have. I got onto them because my uncle, a former investor in Perth commercial property, swore by them. My wife and I now live in Sydney but still use them as our accountants.

They are on Havelock St in West Perth.

Cheers,

Hi Dee Dee,
