Default Accountant needed in Perth - I Think?

Can anyone help with recomending an Accountant, preferably SOR. Just went to see one, who appeared very dodgy and wanted $110 just to walk in and talk to see if I thought he was what I wanted! I am not even sure I need one, being reasonably capable with figures, but being a self employed contractor am I required to have one. I only work Part-time and feel that spending too much money on an Accountant could not be justified.
Any Thoughts? Especially on any good/fair priced Accountants and what I might expect to be charged?

Hi,
We have a great guy but he's north of the river in Balcatta.
His name is David Aylmore, he is fantastic and worth crossing town for.
Phone : 9440 3222
[email protected]
We have chums in business for themselves and he's really turned things around for them.
Good Luck !

It's invaluable to use an accountant in Australia. There are so many things you can claim in your return and it is different to the UK. For instance if you work outdoors sunscreen and sun glasses are tax deductable. Also your fee for the visit to the account is tax deductable as well.
I've heard of this account and he has a really good reputation.

Everyone I asked last year said their accountant saved them more than it cost, but only about $10 in my case. If you are self-employed I would say it is a must, unless you are a self-emplioyed tax accountant, even more so in your first year so you can see what they can claim.

But if it drops off the first page, does anyone read it - I rarely look beyond the first page. I tend to find that threads die a death once past the second page, so thought this had run its course!
