Looking for Perth accountant

Hey guys,

Anyone have a good accountant in Perth that they could recommend?
My wife and I have been with our current (and first) accountant for a few years.
He's a good accountant, but is not a property investor himself & doesn't really understand things from an investors viewpoint.
So, when I've got a question, he answers it or finds it out for me.
But he is not able to think ahead for me in how to best structure things for an expanding portfolio (eg what properties to put in what trusts).
And he's not aware of land tax implications for properties in different states in different trusts.
Stuff like that.

So, yeh, does anyone have an accountant in Perth they could recommend, who also invests in property?
But not invests too much, 'cos I don't want them to suddenly leave because they've reached financial independence!!!

Thanks,

HJ72

Hi HJ72

I noticed that you haven't received any replies to your post, but as I posted almost the identical question on another forum recently I thought I could give you some feedback.  The following accountant was recommended by about 3 different people who have actually utilised their services (I have not as yet):

R.M.G. ACCOUNTING
Cnr Harbourne St & Salvaldo Rd SUBIACO
PHN 9380 9533
WEB www.rmgaccounting.com.au

From my own searches on various forums I have also come across a few posts that mention Chan & Naylor as having a Perth office, but I don't have actual feedback from people who have used their services in Perth.

The other main referral I have come across (from many happy clients) is for Gatherum-Goss & Associates who are actually based in Melbourne.  It appears that a lot of serious investors choose their accountants based on the best person for the job rather than geographical proximity.  GGA's website certainly presents well in terms of them having a proactive focus in relation to property investing.

If anyone has any personal experience dealing with any of the accountants mentioned above, I know I would love to hear some feedback (and I'm sure HJ72 would as well), whether it be as a further post or via private message.
