Perth bookkeeping quotes are hard to line up because providers charge in different ways and few publish a price. This guide compares 6 Perth providers on the same four points: how they charge, what they use, whether they can lodge your BAS, and who they suit.
Published: November 2026
We are on the list, and we say so where we appear. If you already know you want a monthly package, our Perth bookkeeping services start from $1,500 per month (ex GST).
We used only what each provider publishes about itself, checked in November 2026.
We did not rank on reviews, and no provider paid to be included.

Perth is two hours behind Sydney and Melbourne in winter and three hours behind during daylight saving. With an east coast provider, that affects two things: when you can get someone on a call, and cut-off times for pay runs and payment batches.
Ask any east coast provider what hours they cover in Perth time, and when a pay run needs to be approved to reach staff on payday. For a Perth firm, the question does not arise.
WA charges payroll tax at 5.5% with a $1,000,000 threshold that diminishes as wages rise and is nil at $7.5 million. WA also treats contractor payments differently from most other states. Both points affect how your bookkeeper should set up payroll and code contractor invoices.
Ask whether your bookkeeper tracks your wages against the threshold each month. Our guide to WA payroll tax for 2026-27 has the formula and worked examples.

How much does a bookkeeper cost in Perth?
It depends on how the provider charges. Hourly bookkeepers bill for time, and package providers charge a fixed monthly fee. Our weekly Xero bookkeeping for Perth businesses starts from $1,500 per month (ex GST).
Does my bookkeeper need to be in Perth?
No. Bookkeeping in Xero and BAS lodgement are done online. Check the hours an east coast provider covers in Perth time.
Does a Perth bookkeeper need to be a registered BAS agent?
Only if they prepare or lodge your BAS for a fee. BAS services need registration with the Tax Practitioners Board.
How do I find a Xero bookkeeper in Perth?
Search the Xero advisor directory by location, then check each firm's BAS agent registration on the TPB register.
How do I get a bookkeeping quote in Perth?
Give each provider the same facts: number of bank accounts, monthly transaction count, number of employees and pay frequency, and whether you need BAS lodged. Then compare the quotes on the same scope.
Can a bookkeeper do my tax return?
Not unless they are also a registered tax agent.
