Byfields Business Advisers

What Byfields Business Advisers does

Byfields Business Advisers is a privately held partnership and CPA Practice headquartered in Belmont (Perth), Western Australia, operating across seven offices from Perth to the Wheatbelt (Northam, Merredin, Narrogin, Wagin, York/Beverley) and the southern coast (Esperance). Founded in the 1950s from a small Northam office, it has grown into the largest CPA firm based in Western Australia, employing over 100 staff including 13 directors and more than 60 specialist accountants. Approximately 60% of its clients are in the rural/farming industry, with the balance spread across Construction, Mining Services, Health, Transport, Real Estate, and Retail.

The firm delivers a comprehensive suite of professional services including tax compliance, tax planning and minimisation, business advisory, succession planning, wills and estate planning, business structuring and restructuring, business valuation, cashflow budgeting, bookkeeping, payroll, and self-managed superannuation (SMSF, via a dedicated division established in 2009). Digital delivery is supported by the Nimbus secure client portal (document upload and electronic signing) and ATO SmartDocs (SMS-authenticated ATO correspondence), with the firm holding Gold Champion Partner status with Xero alongside partnerships with MYOB and Agrimaster.

Byfields operates a subscription-style revenue model under fixed-price multi-year agreements, supplemented by professional services fees for advisory and SMSF work. The go-to-market is relationship-led through local office presence, community engagement (sponsorships, Lifeblood donations, events), content marketing via its Resource Centre, webinars, and email newsletters. Two related entities — Byfields Wealth Management and Byfields Finance Solutions, both located in Burswood — extend the offering into financial planning and lending, creating cross-sell opportunities within the firm's client base.
