Dedicated Accountant for WA Businesses
Your own accountant — full-time from $1,850/mo or part-time from $999/mo — for the realities of WA business: contract-heavy revenue, long client payment terms, and a 2–3 hour gap to the east coast that we bridge with AEST hours and Perth-morning reporting.
Accountant-led by design: your seat works inside our CA-track review structure, so the numbers your board or bank relies on have been checked twice. One named Adelaide contact throughout.
Beyond the books
Why WA businesses hire a dedicated accountant
Contract revenue, reported properly
Mining-services and construction contracts pay on milestones, not on your schedule. Your accountant tracks milestone billing per contract, watches receivables against payment terms, and flags the slow payers before they become a cash problem.
Perth-morning reporting rhythm
Month-end packs are prepared on AEST hours and land ready for your Perth morning — P&L, balance sheet, cash position. Your review call happens in your normal business hours, never at 7am to suit the east coast.
Growth without the salary arms race
Senior finance talent in Perth commands a premium and takes months to hire. A dedicated seat from $999/mo part-time gives you the function now — and re-levels as you grow, with your approval.

Dedicated accountant FAQs — WA
Bookkeeper or accountant seat — which does my WA business need?
A bookkeeper seat covers transaction processing: data entry, reconciliations, bills and invoicing. An accountant seat owns the month-end close and answers the questions owners actually ask — which contracts made money, where the cash is, and what's coming next quarter.
How do you handle the time difference with Perth?
Seats work AEST business hours — 2 hours ahead of Perth in winter, 3 in summer. Reporting packs land ready for your Perth morning, and the monthly review call happens in your normal business hours.
Can my accountant liaise with our Perth tax agent?
Yes — direct liaison is part of the seat. Your accountant provides clean monthly files and BAS-ready ledgers, and works with your tax agent at year end so nothing is re-done or re-explained.
How do you keep my financial data secure?
Access-controlled Xero and MYOB logins, confidentiality agreements for every team member, and least-privilege access — you can revoke access at any time. Your Adelaide contact oversees access reviews.
Do you understand WA payroll tax?
We maintain payroll coding with WA obligations in mind and keep BAS-ready records. Advice, registration and lodgement stay with your BAS agent or accountant — we never promise tax or BAS lodgement.
