"Simone and the team at Palfreyman Chartered Accountants are a fantastic addition to any small business. When we were first starting up our businesses in the health and wellness industry, I went searching for a local accountant with whom I could build a good rapport and could rely on to guide us through the processes of starting up a business. I came across Palfreyman and was very impressed with their list of accolades and I wanted to support women in business. Choosing to go with Palfreyman Accountants is a choice I have no regrets with and only happiness and peace of mind that I chose well. Simone has a wealth of knowledge, she intently listened to our plans and guided us through the process, provided information and pros and cons about each different way to set up a business. We settled on a trust structure and Simone took care of setting everything up. In the past 2 years or so, Simone and team have looked after all of our accounting needs from BAS reporting, annual tax returns for the trusts and individuals, company requirements, JobKeeper applications and everything in-between. Nothing is ever a hassle, communication is prompt and easy and Simone definitely knows how to get the best outcome for small businesses. Start-ups are never easy, but Simone and the team have made it as easy as possible for our family. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Palfreyman Chartered Accountants to anyone."
