About Us
McKinley Plowman & Associates is a firm of Certified Practising Accountants, financial planners and finance brokers that is dedicated to supporting our clients’ goals.
Our accounting, financial planning and finance broking divisions provide the expertise and resources of large city based firms, while offering the competitive fee structure and personal service of a suburban practice.
We have expanded considerably since opening our doors in 1997 – a time when kangaroos were still bounding their way around what is now Joondalup’s thriving business district.
We started our practice with goals of providing exceptional client service, providing an enjoyable place to work and becoming an employer of choice.
A great testimony to our success in achieving these goals is the many client generated referrals that have helped us become one of Perth’s biggest suburban based accounting companies.
McKinley Plowman & Associates retains the energy of a young company, yet at the same time our team collectively offers many decades of local, national and international expertise in their respective fields.
Having grown from a two man company we understand the challenges of setting up a business.
We are grounded in our advice, yet, at the same time, we are passionately focused on acting as an advisory partner that gets our clients to their goals.
We greatly value our clients and are committed to honouring the trust they place in us by creating visible results for them.
We look forward to working with you.
