WHO ARE WE

Our Story

John and Arlene Caine are the Owners of this business. John, the principal and sole tax agent is passionate about tax.
After a motor vehicle accident nearly claimed his life, John looked for a change in career direction and went on to study Bachelor of Commerce (double major in Accounting and Taxation) and ended up on the Vice Chancellors List for outstanding academic performance.

​The rest as they say is history.

Foothills Taxation Services

Foothills Taxation Services Pty Ltd was established in High Wycombe, Perth, Western Australia in July 2009, since then we have grown into one of the most respected accounting firms in the hills region providing excellent customer service to local individuals and businesses. Please be rest assured of an exceptional standard of customer service and commitment to our clients going above and beyond.

​At Foothills Taxation the client is the most important person in our business because without you we do not have a business.
We welcome new individuals and businesses to experience the Foothills Taxation Services difference.

Outside the Office

John and Arlene have lived in the foothills region for around 30 years so you could say we are pretty local and John has been preparing tax returns for more than 26 of these years. Some clients keep coming back year after year.

We love to take an active interest in client activities and have built strong relationships with many clients. We go above and beyond to obtain the best results possible for the client. We have competitive accounting fees and ethical business practices, client confidentiality and integrity are of utmost importance in our business.

​Some of John’s passions are of course tax, and also being a chef by trade, loves a good restaurant and doesn’t mind a glass of good red wine. Loves his Eagles footy team and of course, a cricket tragic.
