About WPA
We are a three partner practice with twenty accounting and administration team members.
With offices located in Horsham and Dimboola, our clients are drawn principally from the Wimmera region with a major focus on the provision of Accounting, Audit, Taxation, GST and Business Advisory Services to rural clients.
Our long standing goal has been to be proactive towards the service of our client’s needs, being both professional and friendly in the delivery thereof.
The origins of Watts Price Accountants stem back to the 1970s when offices were located in Horsham, Murtoa, Minyip and Rupanyup.
Rural and Non-Rural small/medium business operators together with numerous Individual taxpayers make up the majority of our client base along with audit work for numerous Horsham and Wimmera not for profit organisations.
An arrangement with a Licensed Financial Advisor, Paul Block of Grampians Investment Services, Hamilton, allows us to provide a broader range of financial services to our client base. Partners and Accountants work closely with Paul to provide for client needs.
In July 2005 we acquired the Dimboola practice of Cooksley & Hall Pty Ltd. By December 2005 the administration of this practice has been fully incorporated into the Horsham main office. The Dimboola office remains open for client appointments.
In-house Technical Sessions for accountants complimenting external Professional Development provided by Webb Martin, NTAA and others are attended so as to keep up to date with technical and legal changes.

Farm Benchmarking
Listed below are a few reasons why we appreciate the facility of ‘Bench Marking’ offered to clients by this accounting firm.
- How do our results compare with Watts Price clients across the Wimmera
- Agronomy costs compared to the Top 20%
- Repairs to older machinery against new equipment costs
- Higher input costs are a fact of agriculture in 2006 and beyond. How will the Top 20% manage the increases.
- Can we maintain profit margins with rising costs of fuel and fertilizer.
‘Bench Marking’ allows us to focus on real comparisons and allow us to see clearly where we are heading. These comparisons bring to our attention issue we may not have observed before, and in turn impacts on our future decisions.
If our results are not as they should be in comparison with the Top 20% we have a ’barometer’ to gauge our business.
This also works in the opposite way when seeing our results are comparable with the Top 20%.
