My business is not based in the Hunter Valley. Do you service other areas?
We absolutely do! By working with the best technology, we can offer our clients a completely online experience with video conferencing, a secure online portal and cloud accounting systems. Our online portal is extremely easy to use and is completely secure, meaning it is much safer to use than email. Of course, if technology isn’t your strong point, we can also do your work via phone, email, fax and mail. We can also offer you support in learning how to use our Portal.
Our online systems mean that all our clients, even those that live remote, interstate or overseas, can stay up to date with their tax documents and receive advice when they need it.
