Find an accountant in Perth
Perth's economy spans small business, hospitality, retail, healthcare and resources-adjacent services — many of them employing shift-based and casual staff. An accountant who understands payroll and modern awards is a genuine asset when your team's hours change week to week.
The advisors below are RosterElf partners: Perth accountants, bookkeepers and payroll professionals who set up and manage RosterElf for their clients, so rostering and timesheets become award-compliant pay runs in Xero or MYOB.

Choosing an accountant in Perth
Check their registration
A registered tax agent must be listed on the Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) register. BAS agents should be registered too. It is quick to verify online.
Match them to your business
Look for an accountant who works with businesses like yours — your industry, size and software (for example Xero or MYOB) — not a generalist stretched across everything.
Ask how they charge
Fixed-fee or monthly packages make costs predictable; hourly billing can be harder to forecast. Ask for a written quote and what is included.
Look for proactive advice
The best accountants do more than lodge returns — they help you plan cash flow, payroll and tax ahead of time. Ask what proactive support you can expect.
Watch for red flags
Be cautious of anyone who guarantees a refund, is vague about fees, is slow to respond, or is not a registered agent.
What does an accountant cost in Perth?
Accountant fees in Perth vary with the complexity of your business and the services you need — a sole-trader return costs far less than ongoing payroll and company tax. Ask a few advisors for a fixed-fee or monthly quote so you can compare costs clearly.

Accountants in Perth — FAQs
Common questions about finding an accountant in Perth.
- Look for a registered accountant who works with businesses like yours and is comfortable with your software and your payroll obligations. Verify them on the Tax Practitioners Board register and ask how they charge. The advisors listed here are RosterElf partners who manage rostering and award-compliant payroll for their clients.
- It depends on your structure and the services involved, and it varies by firm. Ongoing bookkeeping, payroll and company tax cost more than a one-off return. Request a written fixed-fee or monthly quote from two or three Perth advisors and compare inclusions.
- Good accountants are registered, transparent about fees, responsive, and proactive — they help you plan payroll, cash flow and tax rather than just lodging returns at year end. Being vague about pricing or guaranteeing a refund are red flags.
- Yes. For businesses with hourly or casual staff, getting penalty rates, overtime and allowances right under the relevant modern award is critical. RosterElf partner accountants use RosterElf to automate award interpretation so pay data reaches Xero or MYOB already calculated.
