What the client says
“The key guys are both very knowledgeable and work really well as a team.
Rick is all over the detail and Greg is good at the higher level stuff and strategy. They have helped me out of a sticky situation and Greg spent quite a lot of time on it and was happy to include that in the overall fixed fee we pay them which was above and beyond the call of duty. They are always up for a quick phone call and are very responsive. Greg’s done a couple of things that have really been beyond his scope and referred me to a lawyer with a specific legal issue, which was quite technical. He really supported me through that process.

“One of the things I like is that we get quick responses and they work with us, not against us.
The thing that’s most valuable is their knowledge, whenever I have a question related to anything about tax I get on the phone or send them an email, I’ll always get a response within the day. Sometimes It’s just for reassurance or clarification. If I need to speak to someone at the ATO, they will do it on our behalf, and get good outcomes for us. It’s great to know that we have strong, clean accounts and have an accountant that we have a great relationship with, who are engaged with us on all levels and are on the same page and with whom we have clear expectations.”
