Perth, WA
Financial due diligence in Perth.
Perth buyers should never have to accept a thinner standard of analysis because of distance. Our WA engagements run fully remotely on the same fixed fees and the same turnarounds, with calls scheduled around the time difference.
The Perth acquisition market
The WA market has its own character: mining services and equipment businesses with lumpy, contract-driven revenue, transport and logistics operators, and suburban service businesses changing hands as owners retire. Contract-driven earnings are the recurring theme, and they need a different lens.
A mining services business showing three strong years can be one contract renewal away from half its revenue. For Perth deals we weight customer concentration and contract tail heavily: who the top five customers are, what is contracted versus historical, and what the earnings look like if the biggest relationship walks. That analysis changes prices, structures and walk-away decisions.
How engagements run for Perth buyers
Everything runs remotely: scoping by video in WA-friendly time slots, documents through the secure upload, and liaison with your Perth accountant and solicitor by phone and email. The two-business-day fee confirmation applies unchanged.
The full service detail, the three levels and everything included are on the financial due diligence page.

Fees are shown excluding GST, with the GST-inclusive figure beside them. GST applies at 10%. The share column is Level 2 against a transaction at the top of that band, which is the smallest share in it. A buyer at the bottom of a band is paying a larger share: Level 2 on a $1,500,000 purchase is $7,000, or 0.47%.
Perth questions
No. Calls are scheduled in windows that work for WA, and the analysis itself is asynchronous; it runs on documents, not meetings. Turnarounds are identical to east coast engagements.
Yes, and for WA deals we treat it as the central question: customer concentration, contract terms and renewal risk are tested explicitly, because a strong three-year history means little if it rests on one relationship.
Your own WA solicitor and accountant. We liaise with them directly, and our findings report lists exactly which legal and taxation questions need their input.
