Client Success Stories

While completing a client's financials, our staff member noted a high amount of non-deductible insurance premiums being paid. She discussed this with the client, and recommended the client contact an insurance broker, to have their cover assessed.


The clients took this advice and contacted their broker. Their broker took into consideration the level of business debt and the key position that our clients hold in the operation of their multiple businesses. She also considered their future goals, both business and personal.


As a result, their insurance cover was completely revamped, resulting in the majority of the premiums now becoming tax deductible, no real increase in the premiums and best of all peace of mind for our clients.


"Wow, when I think of Annette, I am lost for words! I can't thank Annette enough for her support over the past decade. Annette is a first-class accountant who goes the extra mile. She gets to know all of her clients and is always there to answer your calls for help and advice. She makes you feel comfortable and treats every client in a special way making sure that she can minimise the tax that needs to be paid. I thank you Annette for everything you have done. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone. I bet that Annette can get you a better return than your current accountant! Her initial visit is free so why don't you give her a call and see how she can help you".... (Jeanette Miller)

On Rob's advice (thank christ) I laid everything in front of Cathy and Penny, within 2 months they had solved my fear of my inability to pay my dues and actually found a not so inconsiderable amount of monies in return for me. What can I say, I am in awe of your companies skill, your people and the result you have achieved on my behalf. To Cathy, Penny and your company my sincere thanks to you all and your collective skill and ability - you are my heros!" (Brian M Pakes)

We don't know how we would have managed without the support of Lauresa, Karen V and Jan on a daily basis in the early days and still on going. Each and every one of your team has gone the extra mile for us. They never got frustrated and were always patient and understanding with explaining slowly what was needed from me. The support again was just amazing from these gorgeous ladies. We are also so thankful for what you sorted out with our Trust, again, your sharp mind and eyes never missed a thing with this sale. I would hate to have thought what the outcome of that sale would have been if you hadn't taken the time to look over everything in that contract for us.
