Valont provides bookkeeping, BAS, payroll, HR and IT support to Perth businesses from Brisbane, with one Trusted Advisor coordinating the whole back office across the time difference.

Perth’s business mix
Perth's business base is shaped by the resources sector: engineering, fabrication and services contractors around Welshpool, Kewdale and Malaga that supply the mines, professional services firms in the CBD and West Perth that advise them, and the builders, trades, health practices and hospitality operators serving a city that keeps growing north to Joondalup and south to Rockingham.
Western Australia runs its own system for Perth employers: a payroll tax threshold that tapers rather than switching off, WorkSafe WA as the safety regulator, workers compensation placed with approved private insurers under WorkCover WA, Western Australia Day in June, and fly-in fly-out rosters that need careful award treatment. Valont sets Perth clients up on the Western Australian rules, not an east-coast default.

Common questions from Perth business owners
The short answers are here. For anything else, ask below or get in touch.
No. Valont is based in Brisbane and works with Perth businesses remotely, scheduling advisor calls and video in Perth business hours so the time difference is Valont's problem rather than the client's. The books, payroll and systems are cloud-based, and Valont travels to Perth for onboarding or planning sessions when a client prefers to meet in person.
