Our Story
Experienced advice with a personal way of working.
Before becoming WMP Tax, the firm operated for more than 25 years as Ruthven Gangemi & Associates. The move to Burswood in 2018 gave the business a fresh home and updated identity, while keeping the same client-first approach.
The team works to understand each client’s situation properly, then shape advice around what will actually help. That includes day-to-day compliance, broader business guidance, and strategic conversations about tax and wealth.
Through the associated business WMP Finance, clients can also access support around lending and finance structures that complement the tax advice being provided.
What clients can expect
- A friendly, responsive team that explains things in plain language.
- Advice shaped around real business and family circumstances, not generic templates.
- Support across compliance, planning, structure, cash flow, and ongoing decision-making.

on outcomes that matter.
Practical Advice
The focus is clear, commercially useful guidance that helps clients minimise tax, build wealth, and make sound decisions.
Year-Round Support
Support extends beyond tax time, with regular help around reporting, structure, compliance, and strategy.

Receptionist & Administrator
Florence Song
Florence is the Receptionist and Administrator at WMP Tax and is often the first friendly voice clients hear when they call. She is responsible for client liaison, preparing documentation for the accounting team, issuing invoices, and lodging worksheets with the ATO on behalf of the accountants once work has been completed. While Florence is new to the taxation industry, her background in customer account management and administration has equipped her with the skills needed to thrive in her role. With a strong focus on organisation, communication and client care, she helps ensure the office runs smoothly and clients feel supported from their very first interaction. Outside of WMP Tax, Florence runs her family-owned, home-based luxury cat hotel, The Furr Seasons. If you ever hear the occasional meow in the background, there’s a good chance she’s working from home, with some furry guests close by.
