Report
I have used McMillan's for a number of years now, Clayton Mitchell to be precise. I have investment properties, shares and work on a mine site- a cocktail of account's nightmares. Clayton makes light work of my tax return in a timely manner. Most years I have my tax return in my bank by the end of August which I believe is a stellar achievement.
