I really enjoy working with Nadine and the Garnet team. They have helped me streamline processes within my business and boosted my profitability. I would recommend them to friends and family.

Unwilling to communicate about accounting errors and payroll issues. Dismisses clients who require attention and assistance.
Unorgainsed, unethical, lack lustre communication and delays payment of paychecks, leave entitlements and superannuation to her employees for services rendered to her office.

After using Generic tax accountants, I believed I was not a customer, just another KPI to meet their targets. I was recommended to Garnett Business Services by my colleagues. I put my trust in them and made an appointment with Garnett Business Services in Mundaring. From the moment I sat down 4 years ago , Nadine made me feel welcome. The help and advise I have received is professionally dealt with. I strongly recommend Nadine and her crew. Thankyou

Came highly recommended, but a lack of communication and no correspondence except to say I have to lodge tax with ATO. Thought that was the whole deal with going to accountant. Seems I got lost in the system and passed around to different accountants when it looked like my returns would have taken some work. If you want to have accounts with communication skills look elsewhere. If you want accountants that know how to get a person that works a few jobs and has property a good return, look elsewhere. Maybe the H&R block guys in your local mall.

Upon purchasing our company, we inherited the Tax Accountant appointed by the former owner of the business. From day one, there was a blatant lack of communication and service from the owner, Nadine Rawlings which only got worse and on a lesser scale, also from her staff. We have paid an exuberant amount of money to this company who we now have absolutely no faith in to be responsible for the financial dealings of our business, hence we have now appointed a new Accountant who has already given us more service than we received in the entire time that Nadine was responsible for our finances.
