    Hi to all.

    I am tossing up whether to change our SMSF Accountant for a number of reasons, but mainly due to the significant jump in fees for just doing the tax return.
    Our SMSF is pretty basic - cash, blue chip ASX and minimal trades, with all paperwork collated and provided to the Accountant.

    I have had a look in our local area and there are plenty - What should I be looking for, CPA etc and what questions should I be asking in addition to their SMSF experience ?

    Is it better to just go on an hourly rate for the Tax Return preparation ?

    Can anyone provide an estimate of what they are paying in Perth for SMSF Tax Return preparation and SMSF audit.
    All help appreciated,

    Thanks.
