We have been using McKendry Tax for around 10 years now. Wayne & Rita have always been helpful, and ensure that the Returns are completed in the latest time possible. We would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for someone who can take of the Tax, either Personal or Business. Hello Again! Once more - Wayne & Rita have come through for us. There was a Computer Glitch that both ourselves and the ATO had problems trying to resolve. Wayne spent time on the phone and Internet and Yes - He fixed the problem!! Thank You again guys for helping us out. We fully recommend them
