Choosing an Accountant in Adelaide

Adelaide’s accounting firms sit close to where their clients live and work. This list runs from Flinders Street in the CBD and Melbourne Street in North Adelaide to Kent Town, Myrtle Bank and Dulwich on the city fringe, out to Woodville in the west, Newton and Modbury in the north-east, Blair Athol in the north and Glenelg by the sea. Most suburbs are a short drive from at least one of them.

Every firm here is a registered tax agent, which matters because only a registered agent may charge you to prepare and lodge a tax return. Businesses that employ staff also deal with RevenueSA, which sets South Australian payroll tax: nothing is payable until Australian taxable wages pass $1.5 million a year, a sliding rate applies up to $1.7 million, and wages above that are taxed at 4.95% (as at November 2026).

Start with the job you need done, whether that is a personal return, the accounts for a business or the compliance for a super fund, and read the firm notes with that in mind. Several firms below also run financial planning or lending teams. If you want a tighter field, we keep separate Adelaide lists for personal tax returns, small business accounting and SMSF accounting.

Common Questions About Adelaide Accountants

10Adelaide Accountants compared
4.87Average Google rating
How do I pick the right accountant in Adelaide?

Begin with the work you need, then shortlist firms whose own websites describe it in detail. Confirm each one on the Tax Practitioners Board register, read recent reviews, and ask who will actually prepare your work each year and how fees are set. Location still counts in Adelaide, where many people prefer a firm they can visit without crossing the city.

How do I confirm that an Adelaide accountant is a registered tax agent?

Search the person or the business on the Tax Practitioners Board register at tpb.gov.au. It shows whether they are registered as a tax agent or BAS agent, their registration number and whether the registration is current. Only a registered tax agent can charge you to prepare your return, so it is worth the minute it takes to check.

Should I look for a CA, a CPA or an IPA member?

Any of the three is a sound sign, because each body sets education, training and ethics standards for its members. CA stands for Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, CPA for CPA Australia and IPA for the Institute of Public Accountants. Membership sits apart from tax agent registration, so the firm preparing your return should hold both.

When does a South Australian business start paying payroll tax?

Payroll tax starts once a business’s Australian taxable wages, counted across any group it belongs to, pass $1.5 million a year. RevenueSA applies a rate that slides up from nil between $1.5 million and $1.7 million, then 4.95% on wages above $1.7 million (as at November 2026). An accountant can work out grouping and which contractor payments count as wages.

Can I use an Adelaide accountant without visiting the office?

Yes, most firms on this list work with clients by phone, email and video call, and several offer online appointments or online return lodgement. Documents can usually be shared through a secure portal. A first meeting in person still helps when your affairs are complex, such as a business, a trust or an SMSF.

Is it free to use this page?

Yes, there is no charge to read these lists or to send an enquiry. No firm pays to be included or to be placed higher on the page. When you fill in the enquiry form, your details go to our team, and we connect you with the firm you picked so it can get in touch. Any fees are a matter between you and that firm.
