  • Imogen drove out to the property rather than making us come into town, and worked through the livestock account with Dad at the kitchen table for two hours. First accountant we have had who understood averaging without us explaining it.

    Warren K. Westbrook Farm and primary production accounting

  • Quoted the fee up front and it did not change. Simple as that.

    Sarah B. Rangeville Tax returns and financial statements

  • I was four years behind and had been avoiding the letters. They listed what was outstanding, gave me one number for the whole lot and dealt with the ATO themselves. Payment plan sorted, penalties mostly remitted. I should have called two years earlier.

    Nathan P. Harristown ATO liaison and lodgement catch-up

  • Payroll has run without a hiccup for two years, super is always paid before the due date and I get a one-page summary I can actually read.

    Michelle T. East Toowoomba Bookkeeping and payroll

  • The forecast showed us February was going to be tight, which it was. Only gripe is the first build took a bit longer than I expected, though they did warn me it would.

    Craig D. Glenvale Cash flow forecasting

  • We met in early May, went through the super contributions and the trust resolutions, and everything was signed before the end of June. No October surprise for the first time in years.

    Priya M. Middle Ridge Tax planning

  • Straight answers on farm management deposits and when to put money in. No jargon.

    Doug H. Oakey Farm and primary production accounting

  • Rohan talked me out of setting up a trust I did not need yet, and explained exactly what would have to change before it made sense. Costing themselves work to give me the right answer told me plenty.

    Lauren S. Centenary Heights Business advisory and structuring

  • Quarterly BAS goes in without me thinking about it, and the extra few weeks on the payment date has been handy more than once.

    Ben F. Kearneys Spring BAS and GST lodgement

  • Honest advice that our fund was probably too small to keep running. They still did the year properly while we decided rather than pushing us either way.

    Anita R. Newtown SMSF review and administration

  • Needed statements for a bank in a hurry. Kayla had them in the format the broker wanted, first go, no second round of questions.

    Josh W. Highfields Tax returns and financial statements

  • They cleaned up four years of a file that two previous bookkeepers had made a mess of, told me what it would cost before starting, and stuck to it. The monthly summary is the part I did not know I needed.

    Elaine C. Mount Lofty Bookkeeping and payroll

  • Moved us from sole trader to a company at the start of the financial year. Registrations, transfers and the ASIC side all handled.

    Tom G. Cambooya Business advisory and structuring

  • Not once have they suggested buying something I did not need just to reduce tax. That is rarer than it should be.

    Fiona L. Wilsonton Tax planning

  • Good tool and a good conversation. It took me a quarter to get into the habit of actually looking at it.

    Wayne A. Drayton Cash flow forecasting

  • Second season with them. They ring before harvest to talk through the deposit timing rather than waiting until it is too late to do anything about it.

    Robyn E. Pittsworth Farm and primary production accounting

  • Two years of BAS outstanding and a debt I could not see the end of. Fixed fee for the catch-up, payment arrangement in place, and no lecture about how I got there.

    Dylan N. Toowoomba City ATO liaison and lodgement catch-up

  • The annual meeting about whether the fund still suits us is worth the fee on its own. Nobody had ever offered to have that conversation before.

    Susan V. Crows Nest SMSF review and administration
