Report
Under no circumstances would I recommend this business. There were many false starts and promises made that were never met. We were blamed at every opportunity, but as a small business owner we're fully aware of the need to provide information as requested, which we always did. Nothing was ever looked at until we chased, and then more promises. The girls are fabulous, but their hands seem to be tired from higher up, so nothing ever seems to happen. Why have a team if you don't trust them.? Very very disappointed!!

Report
I'd give less stars if I could. They always submitted my BAS and tax returns well overdue and I was constantly passed around from accountant to accountant and not one of them cared at all for my business. Would definitely not recommend.
