Finding a Small Business Accountant in Perth

Many of Perth’s business accountants sit just outside the CBD, in West Perth, East Perth, Northbridge and along Lord Street, close to the clients and banks they deal with. Others are in the suburbs where trade and service businesses cluster, such as Osborne Park, Maylands, Mount Pleasant and Gosnells. Being able to drop in with a question or a box of paperwork still matters to many owners.

Western Australian employers should watch their wages bill as they grow. RevenueWA charges payroll tax of 5.5% once annual Australian taxable wages, including those of grouped businesses, pass $1 million, and the threshold deduction shrinks until it runs out at $7.5 million (as at November 2026). Separately, the ATO requires GST registration once your GST turnover reaches $75,000.

Each firm below describes business work on its own site: BAS and bookkeeping, payroll, tax planning, structures, or CFO style advice. Some prefer established private companies, while others welcome sole traders and start ups. Read what each firm says it does, then ask how it would handle your industry and who would be your main contact.

Common Questions About Perth Small Business Accountants

10Perth Small Business Accountants compared
4.95Average Google rating
What should a small business accountant in Perth do for me?

At the least, they should prepare your business tax return and BAS, keep you compliant with payroll and super, and tell you about deadlines. A good one also reviews your structure, plans tax before 30 June, and helps you read your numbers. Ask each firm which of these it includes in its regular service.

When does my Perth business have to register for GST?

You must register within 21 days once your GST turnover reaches $75,000, or is expected to. Taxi and rideshare drivers must register from their first dollar, whatever their turnover. Non-profit bodies have a $150,000 threshold. Registering earlier is allowed and can make sense if your customers are mostly GST registered businesses.

Does my business pay payroll tax in Western Australia?

Only if its Australian taxable wages, counted together with any grouped businesses, exceed $1 million a year. RevenueWA then charges 5.5% on WA wages, and the threshold deduction tapers away until it is gone at $7.5 million (as at November 2026). Your accountant can check whether any contractors are treated as employees for payroll tax.

Should I trade as a sole trader, partnership, company or trust?

It depends on your profit, risk, family situation and future plans. A sole trader setup is cheap and simple, while a company or trust can offer asset protection and more flexibility on tax but costs more to run. Changing structure later can trigger tax, so get advice before you start trading.

What is a virtual or outsourced CFO?

It is a senior accountant who works on your business part time, giving the planning and reporting a finance director would, without the cost of a full time hire. Typical work includes cash flow forecasts, budgets, monthly reports and help with bank finance. Several Perth firms here offer this as a separate service.

Can my accountant handle payroll and Single Touch Payroll?

Yes, many firms on this list run payroll for clients or set up and review your payroll software. Every employer must report wages, tax withheld and super through Single Touch Payroll each pay day. An accountant can also check award rates, super guarantee payments and payroll tax at the same time.
