In 1999 I walked through the doors of a small office in the centre of Joondalup WA in search of an accountant who could fix the mistakes I had made in my tax return. Mr McKinley and Mr Plowman were there and 19 years later their 2-person firm has grown into a 50+ strong team of dedicated staff offering all the services one needs to keep one’s finances prospering. Mine certainly have under their strongly personal and very professional support. I have recommended them to many of my friends who would all agree that our financial needs are more than met by McKinley Plowman.

Recently, Finance Director Paul Moran received this lovely testimonial from a client who was very appreciative of his excellent service. Thanks Paula for your kind words.

Paul has assisted in a number of transactions from business to personal loans over many years. Every interaction with Paul has been welcomed and with his proven history in the business and his knowledge, I have every faith that Paul would strive each time to obtain the best outcome for myself and my families ever changing needs over the years. I would recommend Paul’s services to friends and colleagues alike, without hesitation.

I started using your staff’s services on a recommendation of a co-worker while I was living in Perth. I was extremely impressed with the speed and the efficiency of Jayne’s services.

After being only familiar with the USA tax system it was awkward and unfamiliar for me and she assisted greatly with what was necessary and deadlines. I had used one other agency prior to yours the first tax year in Perth and it was a miserable and expensive process. They took 7 months to file and moving on to your organization was a real gift.

In this past tax year it was a bit chaotic for me with the expiration of my working visa in Australia and moving back to the US at the same time as filing taxes.

Jayne discovered I was chosen for an tax audit. She assured me it was only done on a random basis but I was feeling a bit paranoid regarding Australian treatment of non-citizens at that point.

Jayne has been patient, efficient, reliable and professional through all of this and has been a life line for me during this experience.

The audit finished last week and I applaud Jayne for her tolerance and efficiency while dealing with a tough time in my professional career.

Thank you,

Trudi G

I migrated to Australia with my family in July 2012 and it has been a difficult, stressful and emotional time. One thing was made easier however with the transfer of my NHS pension being handled by Colette and her team at PTS. The process began before we left the UK and has continued to run smoothly since our arrival here with Colette keeping me informed at all stages through to the funds being received and invested. With complex issues, deadlines and tax minefields to name a few I was very happy to hand the transfer over to the professionals. I would have no hesitation in recommending Colette and PTS for pension transfer services, their professionalism and customer service is second to none.

Gordon Lilley, director of UK-based Caldervale Technology, a United Kingdom company which is setting up its Asia Pacific regional office in Malaga, says working with McKinley Plowman & Associates provides his company with access to a critical comprehensive range of services extending beyond accounting, legal and business planning.

Mr Lilley says an introduction to Mr Blacklaw through an Alliance member accountant Simon Palmer of Armstrong Watson in Britain has provided for a smoother transition into the Western Australian marketplace and opened the right doors for Caldervale Technology.

“We gain immediate advice to trusted specialist expertise on taxation, legal, accounting and business planning matters and we’ve also been given introductions to relevant and essential contacts in government and business organisations,” Mr Lilley says.

“Alec hit the nail on the head in terms of the introductions that he has given us.

“With Alec’s contacts and introductions, we’ve been able to achieve in three or four days what would have normally taken at least a month.”
