Everyone has their favourite Accountant. Generally, I find that most accountants get their business…read morethrough word of mouth. I don't believe a lot of them really need to spend that much money on marketing if they are good. I was first recommended this accountant by three unrelated people. So word of mouth for Michael Calabrese is doing well. When you find a good accountant, it doesn't matter where their office is situated. You will travel if it means your tax and business if done right. The people who recommended my accountant were business owners. So I knew that their opinions where valid. Business owners generally test Accountants out a bit more than the general consumer. I have been going to Michael for around 5 years now. He is good at what he does and fast. My tax returns are never really complicated. But he has always surprised me with my returns. I guess every situation is different, but I have always left his office with a smile. Michael is efficient and he will ask the right questions. Previously I have been caught out by overworked Accountants from big firms that just look at you as a number. That is not the case with Michael, he takes his time to ensure everything is covered. I will continue recommending him and everyone that I have sent to him have always been happy.

This year my tax wasn't as straight forward as usual. After calling a couple of bigger chain-like…read moreaccountants, I decided to find someone local. I contacted Brendan and where other companies had no idea of how to progress forward, he was able to give me advice on the spot. I dropped in with all my paperwork, he did my tax right in front of me (my tax obviously wasn't as complex as I had been lead to believe by the other companies) and that was that. I would highly recommend him to anyone! If you're unsure if he can help you, at least give him a call, he won't mess you around.

I am never doing my own tax again. No more horrible tax packs, or waiting to install etax…read more After having issues a couple of years ago with owing tax due to having 2 jobs, fellow Yelper Tom recommended Bradd to me and I have never looked back. Not only did he clear out my tax debt, but I also managed to get a refund as well. I was in and out within 30mins and the funds will be in my account in 2 weeks. Well worth the $158 fee for a standard tax return.

On a recent assignment they picked up on a tiny error in the sale contract that would have been extremely expensive for my client, had Tri-Meridian not spotted it.

Service was helpful & friendly, and unlike H&R Block whom I used in Sydney, you don't have to sit there bored for 3 hours while they go through your receipts - just drop the box & run and they call you a week later once all the hard work is done to sign your return!

There's no getting around it ... tax is boring! That's why you need to find a good tax accountant…read morewho gets the job done quickly and efficiently! And that's where Greg comes in. Years ago I used to get my tax done by a doddery accountant who took forever. Greg is the complete opposite - 15 minutes later, and I'm outta there! I first visited Greg a couple of years ago when I sought business advice for my fledgling art business. He gave me some great tips and advice, so when I had to next get my tax done he was the first person I thought of. Highly recommended!

I have been with George now for approximately 10 months. I have got my own business Gaswatch…read moreAustralia Pty Ltd and the main services I provide is gas appliance installation/servicing and maintenance. To be able to get something substantial out of my business I found it necessary to get professional help and by GOSH have I learned alot about myself in the past year and on how to run a business. You see before I was just a gas fitter with hands on the tools and I would be that when I retire, but I want more out of it by then and that's what we're working on.

I was introduced to KPMG through a very skilled accountant who opted to become a member of a…read moretheatre company board and assist with the accounts - how brilliant is that! Not all financial organisations have actively recruited the sort of staff who will willingly volunteer their time to do something in a community spirit, but the often maligned KPMG actually see this as a major asset in their business and I have to agree. Too easy to point the finger and say "Multinational company... they must be bad," without knowing the deeper facts. The business does a range of things and not just philanthropic gestures; they advise people and companies with their tax mainly and they do audits and other financial services. Their main thrust is working towards being part of the greater good in the community which I think is very respectable. I can testify that they've allowed their rather posh offices to be used for meetings by one middle sized theatre company free of charge, and haven't expected anything in return at all. This may seem like nothing to you, but it actually is a cost saver for the local theatre company because it means meetings of this nature can be held at a time more convenient to the various people involved due to the central position in the city and, well, a few other things that can add up like chilled water and air conditioning and that has a positive impact on the budget; I have these folk in my very 'good' books! Their work and business ethic seems very good. I think they are leaders in their field.
