Report
KT Associates - a business that takes a genuine interest in their clients. I first met Tony about 10 years ago now, and at that time on only a once a year tax visit, I easily and quickly formed a warm rapport with him. After a couple of years Warwick began looking after my account at taxation time and again I formed a friendly rapport. So based on… established relationships built on trust, confidence, support, good knowledge and a dose of hearty conversation I had absolutely no hesitation in staying with Tony & Warwick when they launched KT Associates earlier this year.
