Experts in SME Financial Services
As a small business owner, you have a million things on your plate. Our role is to lighten the load by handling your accounting and compliance efficiently, and by providing proactive advice to improve your bottom line. Here’s what our small business accountants in Perth can do for you:
Bookkeeping & BAS Preparation ▼
Keeping your books in order is the foundation of a healthy business. We offer bookkeeping services (or oversight if you do it in-house) to ensure your accounts are accurate and up-to-date. Whether you use Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, or another system, our team can manage or assist with data entry, bank reconciliations, payroll processing, and more. Come BAS time each quarter, we’ll compile your Business Activity Statement, make sure all GST credits and liabilities are accounted for, and lodge it on time. No more last-minute scrambles - we keep you organised throughout the year
With over two decades in the industry, our team brings extensive experience across industries and business life stages. We’ve coached start-ups, growing enterprises, and established companies, so we can tailor our expertise to your situation. Our accountants are Chartered Accountants and registered tax agents, ensuring you receive the highest standard of advice and compliance.
Tax Compliance & Planning ▼
We handle all aspects of business tax compliance, including preparing and lodging your annual company tax returns, partnership returns, or trust returns, as applicable. But we don’t stop at just recording history - we actively plan to minimise tax for your business. This might involve reviewing your business structure for tax efficiency, timing asset purchases to take advantage of instant asset write-offs, optimising owner’s salary/dividends, and ensuring you’re aware of any small business tax concessions (like the small business income tax offset or GST reporting concessions) that you qualify for. We’ll meet with you before the end of the financial year for proactive tax planning, so you can implement strategies before 30 June hits. Remember, we consider both the business and personal side (for example, how business decisions affect your personal tax, and vice versa) to get the best overall outcome.
We believe in building long-lasting relationships. You’ll get a dedicated client manager who truly understands your business. We take the time to get to know you and tailor solutions – because no two businesses are the same. Whether you’re a solo tradie or manage a growing team, our advice is aligned to your goals.
Business Structuring and Setup ▼
Starting a new venture or feel like your current entity structure isn’t ideal? Choosing the right business structure (sole trader, partnership, company, trust, or a combination) can affect everything from taxes to asset protection. We have deep expertise in business structuring. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option in plain language and help set up the structure that suits your goals. Many Perth businesses have trusted us to set up their companies or family trusts, taking care of ABN/ACN registrations, GST registrations, and all necessary paperwork. Already have a business and considering a restructure (e.g., moving from sole trader to a company as you grow)? We handle those transitions smoothly, coordinating with legal professionals for any required agreements and minimizing tax consequences when changing structures. (Check out our Business Structuring Experts page for more info on this service.)
Forget only seeing your accountant at tax time. We partner with you year-round, providing proactive tax planning, regular check-ins, and strategies to improve performance. Our clients often tell us they “sleep better at night” knowing we’ve got their compliance and planning covered – before issues arise. We’re not just number-crunchers; we’re business advisors who help you forecast, plan, and grow.
Tired of paperwork? So are we. Link Accounting will set up seamless cloud-based accounting systems (like Xero or MYOB) to streamline your bookkeeping and reporting. Enjoy real-time financial data and automated processes that save you time and reduce errors. We’ll train and support you in using these tools, so you have clarity and control over your numbers anywhere, anytime.
We welcome you to the firm with a complimentary first consultation*. This no-obligation meeting lets us discuss your needs and show how we can add value – a risk-free way for you to get to know us. (Book yours now at (08) 9455 7022)
Based in Victoria Park, we are proud locals. Our team understands Western Australia’s business landscape, state tax requirements, and local market conditions. When you work with us, you get big-firm expertise delivered with small-firm friendliness and the practicality of a fellow WA business. Expect a professional yet approachable tone in all our interactions – we explain accounting in plain English and are always just a phone call away for quick questions.

Payroll and Compliance ▼
If you employ staff, you’ll know how important it is to get payroll right. We assist with payroll setup and processing, PAYG withholding, superannuation guarantee compliance, and Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting to the ATO. We’ll help you navigate things like wage rates, leave accruals, and payroll tax (if applicable). Your employees are your biggest asset, so let’s ensure they’re paid correctly and on time, with all obligations met. We can also guide you on contractors vs employees distinctions, fringe benefits tax (FBT) if you provide any perks, and workers compensation considerations.

Financial Reporting & Business Advice ▼
Beyond compliance, we provide management accounting and advisory services to drive your business forward. We can prepare financial reports (profit & loss statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements) monthly or quarterly, so you have a clear picture of how your business is performing in real time - not just at tax time. But we don’t just hand over reports; we sit down with you to interpret them. What story are the numbers telling? Perhaps your gross margins are shrinking - let’s investigate why and find solutions. Maybe expenses have crept up - we’ll help identify areas to cut costs or improve efficiency. If you have targets, we’ll help you measure and achieve them. Our advisors can assist with cash flow forecasting, budgeting, and break-even analysis, which are crucial for growing businesses or those facing tight cash flow. We’re essentially your outsourced CFO, providing strategic insight without the full-time cost.

Growth and Expansion Strategies ▼
As your business grows, new opportunities and challenges arise. We’re here to advise at every stage. Thinking of buying a new piece of equipment or a vehicle? We’ll analyze whether it’s better to lease or buy, finance or pay cash, considering the tax implications of each. Planning to expand or open a second location? We can help create financial projections and even assist in obtaining financing by preparing lender-friendly reports and liaising with banks. Perhaps you’re considering hiring more staff or outsourcing some tasks - we can crunch the numbers to see what’s affordable and optimal. Our extensive experience with SMEs across various industries means we can often share insights or benchmarks relevant to your field. We’re not shy to suggest ideas that have worked for other clients (keeping confidentiality of course) - for example, moving to a different inventory system, adjusting pricing strategies, or even tech tools to streamline operations.
Compliance, Licenses & Other ATO Obligations ▼
Running a business comes with myriad compliance requirements beyond just tax. We assist with ASIC compliance for companies (annual company statement filings, director changes, etc.), ensure you meet any industry-specific financial obligations, and keep you informed of relevant regulatory changes. For instance, when the ATO introduced new superannuation rules or when STP became mandatory, we proactively updated our clients and helped them adapt. You can rely on us to keep you up-to-date and in compliance, so you avoid penalties and can focus on running your business.

Why SMEs Choose Link Accounting
There are plenty of accountants out there, but small and medium business owners choose Link Accounting & Business Solutions for our experience, personalized service, and proactive approach. Here’s what sets us apart for SMEs:
Specialisation in Small Business ▼
We have over 18 years of experience specialising in SMEs, particularly in the Perth market (originally in Canning Vale and now in Victoria Park). We understand the realities of running a small business - tight cash flows, wearing multiple hats, and the importance of every dollar. Our advice is grounded in real-world small business knowledge, not just textbook theory. We know what tax concessions a “small business entity” can access, we stay on top of SME-related tax changes in the Federal Budget each year, and we tailor our communication to suit busy entrepreneurs.
Accurate financial bookkeeping, preparation of financial statements, and ensuring you meet all compliance obligations. We handle GST/BAS preparation and lodgement, payroll processing, superannuation compliance, and PAYG reporting. All your routine accounting tasks are managed efficiently so you stay compliant with the ATO and avoid any penalties. (You didn’t go into business to do bookkeeping and admin paperwork – so leave it to us! We’ll put systems in place to handle it
Tailored, Industry-Savvy Advice ▼
Our client base spans many industries - retail stores, tradies (plumbers, electricians), professional services, cafés and restaurants, marketing agencies, healthcare practices, and more. This breadth gives us insight into the specific challenges and opportunities in different sectors. For example, we understand inventory management issues in retail, or subcontractor arrangements in construction, or the importance of appointment booking systems for medical practices. We’re able to provide industry-specific advice and we often connect clients with similar businesses for networking or sharing of non-confidential best practices.
Strategic tax planning to minimize your tax liability and maximize your after-tax profit. Our tax accountants prepare annual company tax returns, sole trader and partnership returns, and offer guidance on deductions and incentives relevant to your industry. We stay up-to-date on tax law changes and proactively advise you on the best tax-effective structure and strategies (for example, whether to use a company, trust, or sole trader setup). Before EOFY, we’ll meet for annual tax planning to implement strategies that legally reduce taxes and avoid surprises.
Accessible and Responsive ▼
As a small business owner, you value quick answers and availability - and that’s what we provide. When you partner with Link Accounting, you get a dedicated accountant (or team) who will be your main contact. Need some advice before signing a big contract or making a purchase? We’re just a phone call away and we make it a point to be responsive. We know opportunities (and problems) in business sometimes come suddenly, so we strive to be there when you need us. Our directors (Rebecka and Adam) are very involved and accessible to clients, ensuring even the most complex issues get the attention they deserve.
Expert advice on choosing and setting up the right business structure. Whether you are starting a new venture or looking to restructure an existing one, we’ll evaluate the options – sole trader, partnership, company, trust – and recommend the optimal structure. Our focus is on both efficiency and asset protection: safeguarding your personal and family assets from business risks. We can also review your current structure and suggest changes if it’s not providing adequate protection or tax efficiency.
Forward-Thinking & Tech-Friendly ▼
We embrace technology that helps small businesses thrive. As certified Xero Gold Champion Partners, we’ve helped many clients move from shoeboxes of receipts or clunky spreadsheets to streamlined cloud accounting systems. This not only saves you time but gives you better visibility of your finances. We can also advise on integrating add-ons like point-of-sale systems, inventory management software, or project management tools that link with your accounting system. Automation and modern tools can significantly improve efficiency - and we’ll guide you on choosing and setting them up. By being forward-thinking, we help you stay competitive in an ever-changing business landscape.
“Cash is king” in any small business. We will help you prepare realistic cash flow forecasts and budgets, so you can plan for seasonal fluctuations and growth. By monitoring cash flow and comparing actuals to forecasts, we identify potential shortfalls in advance and craft solutions (like adjusting expenses or seeking finance). Our aim is to improve your business’s cash position, ensuring you can meet obligations and invest in opportunities.
Proactive Business Mentoring ▼
Many clients see us not just as accountants, but as business mentors. We love this role. We’ll ask about your business plans, listen to your ideas, and even challenge you with questions to get you thinking. For example, if you say “I want to double my revenue in the next 3 years,” we’ll engage in planning how to achieve that - breaking it down into targets, figuring out if you need funding, checking if your cost structure can support growth, etc. We celebrate your successes (nothing makes us happier than seeing a client’s business flourish) and we’re a sounding board when tough decisions arise. In short, we’re deeply invested in our clients’ success.
Think of us as your external CFO. We provide business advisory services ranging from financial analysis of new opportunities to guidance on improving profitability. Are you looking to grow or scale up? We’ll analyze your financials and KPIs to pinpoint areas for improvement (cost control, pricing strategy, margin enhancement) and help set achievable goals. Considering a major decision like purchasing a new asset or expanding premises? We conduct feasibility studies and scenario planning so you can make informed choices.
Planning to eventually sell or hand over your business? It’s never too early to start succession planning. Link Accounting guides you through preparing your business for sale or transition – from valuing your business and tidying financial records to advising on tax-effective exit strategies (like small business CGT concessions). Our goal is to help you maximize the value you’ve built when the time comes to exit or retire.
We’re not just accountants; we’re partners in your success. Many of our small business clients benefit from regular coaching-style meetings. In these sessions, we review your financial performance, discuss challenges, and keep you accountable to your business goals. It’s like having a knowledgeable business mentor who can interpret the numbers and guide you on strategy. Our clients love that we explain financial concepts in plain language and help them become more confident business owners.
Our Small Business Success Stories
We measure our success by the success of our clients. Here are a couple of anonymized examples that highlight what partnering with Link Accounting can do:
Case Study 1 ▼
Turning Around a Struggling Business - A family-owned retail shop in Perth came to us with cash flow problems and ATO debts. They felt like they were always firefighting. We stepped in and first addressed urgent issues: we negotiated a payment plan with the ATO to give breathing room. Then we implemented a proper bookkeeping system (moving them to Xero) which immediately showed where money was going. We identified that their gross profit margins were too low due to supplier costs - we assisted in renegotiating supplier contracts and adjusting some product prices. We also introduced monthly cash flow forecasting. Within a year, the business cleared its tax debt, cash flow stabilised, and the owners had a clear picture of finances. They’ve since opened a second location, and we continue to guide their growth strategy.
Our first step with any new client is a complete review of your current operations and business structure. We want to understand how you’re set up, what’s working, and what needs improvement. From this review, we’ll provide you with actionable recommendations – whether it’s a better accounting system, a tax strategy you haven’t utilized, or an asset protection measure to put in place. Together, we develop a road map tailored to your business.
Case Study 2 ▼
Structuring for Growth and Tax Savings - An independent contractor (IT consultant) was operating as a sole trader, paying a lot of tax as his income grew. We advised him to set up a company and trust structure. By doing so, he benefited from a lower corporate tax rate on retained earnings and had flexibility to distribute some income to his low-income spouse through the trust (all legitimate and within ATO rules). Additionally, we helped him register for GST and coached him on quarterly budgeting for tax and GST. The result: his after-tax income increased significantly due to the new structure, and he felt more in control with regular activity statements rather than one huge tax bill annually. He eventually expanded to hire staff under the company, and the structure we set up easily accommodated that growth. He often remarks that seeking our advice early “saved his bacon” and set the foundation for his business today.
(Every business is different, and we craft solutions to fit the specific scenario. Let’s create your success story together!)
Next, we’ll get you set up on our systems with minimal disruption. If you require a cloud accounting platform (like Xero), we handle the setup and training. We also liaise with your previous accountant or bookkeeper (if applicable) to transfer information seamlessly. Our team will ensure all ATO registrations, accounting files, and records are in order. You’ll meet the key team members who will be looking after you, so you know exactly who to contact for what.
Throughout the year, count on us as an extension of your team. We’ll schedule regular check-ins – for some clients that’s quarterly strategy meetings (included in many packages), for others it might be a quick monthly call. Need advice out of the blue? Just ring or email us – we encourage questions and are happy to be your sounding board on financial decisions. And when those inevitable urgent issues pop up (say, a looming BAS deadline or a finance application needing statements), we prioritize getting you sorted fast.
Come end of financial year, we really roll up our sleeves. We’ll do a thorough tax planning session before June 30 to implement any last-minute strategies. After year-end, we prepare your financial statements and tax returns promptly. Then we sit down with you for an annual review meeting – to not only go over the past year’s results, but also plan for the year ahead. We’ll discuss tax-saving outcomes, business performance, and set goals for the new year. This annual cycle ensures continuous improvement and no surprises at tax time.
As a Link Accounting client, you also gain access to our network and resources. We have affiliates in financial planning, insurance, and lending (finance brokers) – so if you need help beyond accounting, we can refer trusted professionals. Check out our blog for free tips and our client resources library for handy guides on topics like record-keeping or cash flow. We want to empower you with knowledge, not keep you in the dark.

What to Expect When You Work with Us
We offer a comprehensive suite of accounting, tax, and advisory services to cover every aspect of your small business’s financial needs. When you partner with Link Accounting, you effectively gain a virtual CFO and finance department that you can dial in as needed. Our business solution services include:
Initial Review & Personalized Plan ▼
Our first step with any new client is a complete review of your current operations and business structure. We want to understand how you’re set up, what’s working, and what needs improvement. From this review, we’ll provide you with actionable recommendations – whether it’s a better accounting system, a tax strategy you haven’t utilized, or an asset protection measure to put in place. Together, we develop a road map tailored to your business.
Smooth Onboarding and System Setup ▼
Next, we’ll get you set up on our systems with minimal disruption. If you require a cloud accounting platform (like Xero), we handle the setup and training. We also liaise with your previous accountant or bookkeeper (if applicable) to transfer information seamlessly. Our team will ensure all ATO registrations, accounting files, and records are in order. You’ll meet the key team members who will be looking after you, so you know exactly who to contact for what.
Ongoing Support & Meetings ▼
Throughout the year, count on us as an extension of your team. We’ll schedule regular check-ins – for some clients that’s quarterly strategy meetings (included in many packages), for others it might be a quick monthly call. Need advice out of the blue? Just ring or email us – we encourage questions and are happy to be your sounding board on financial decisions. And when those inevitable urgent issues pop up (say, a looming BAS deadline or a finance application needing statements), we prioritize getting you sorted fast.
Comprehensive Year-End Process ▼
Come end of financial year, we really roll up our sleeves. We’ll do a thorough tax planning session before June 30 to implement any last-minute strategies. After year-end, we prepare your financial statements and tax returns promptly. Then we sit down with you for an annual review meeting – to not only go over the past year’s results, but also plan for the year ahead. We’ll discuss tax-saving outcomes, business performance, and set goals for the new year. This annual cycle ensures continuous improvement and no surprises at tax time.
Access to Resources & Referrals ▼
As a Link Accounting client, you also gain access to our network and resources. We have affiliates in financial planning, insurance, and lending (finance brokers) – so if you need help beyond accounting, we can refer trusted professionals. Check out our blog for free tips and our client resources library for handy guides on topics like record-keeping or cash flow. We want to empower you with knowledge, not keep you in the dark.
Succession Planning & Exit Strategies ▼
Planning to eventually sell or hand over your business? It’s never too early to start succession planning. Link Accounting guides you through preparing your business for sale or transition – from valuing your business and tidying financial records to advising on tax-effective exit strategies (like small business CGT concessions). Our goal is to help you maximize the value you’ve built when the time comes to exit or retire.
Coaching & Mentoring ▼
We’re not just accountants; we’re partners in your success. Many of our small business clients benefit from regular coaching-style meetings.

It’s like having a knowledgeable business mentor who can interpret the numbers and guide you on strategy.
