Areas We Serve Across South-East Melbourne
Since 2003, Ruth Watson & Associates has been taking care of accounts from our office at 409 Waverley Road, Malvern East — but our clients have never been limited to Malvern East alone. As a family-owned firm with 22+ years of local experience, we work with business owners and individuals right across Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs, combining face-to-face appointments at our office with virtual bookkeeping, cloud accounting and a client portal that lets you upload your documents and forget the rest, wherever you’re based.
Our Home: Malvern East
Malvern East is where it all started, and where our office still sits on Waverley Road today. Local business owners and residents can visit us in person for tax accounting, bookkeeping, Virtual CFO support, or any of our individual services, from SMSF to retirement planning.
Services Available Wherever You’re Based
Whatever suburb you’re in, our full range of services is available to you — in person, virtually, or a mix of both:
- Tax accounting — returns, planning and tax minimisation strategies, with full ATO representation
- Bookkeeping — our “upload and forget” service, covering BAS, accounts payable and receivable, and cloud software setup
- Virtual CFO — financial oversight and strategy at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO
- Incorporation services — company registration, ABN setup and structure advice for new businesses
- Payroll services, succession planning and finance services for growing and established businesses
- Self Managed Super Funds, retirement planning, property tax and property investment, and wealth creation advice for individuals and families
Working With Us Across the Region
Distance is rarely a barrier. Many of our clients across south-east Melbourne manage their entire relationship with us virtually — uploading documents through our client portal, meeting by video call, and staying in touch by phone and email — while others prefer to visit us in person at Malvern East. Either way, you’re working with the same dedicated, attentive team.
Our office is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9am to 5pm, and Wednesday mornings until noon.
