Sam from gst accounting has always made the efforts to go that extra mile to get that bit extra for me when it comes to tax time.
I have used him 3 years in a row now. Once when I was sub contracting and also on wages. Each time he has helped out massively
And couldn’t recommend him any highly.

Within seconds of uploading my request from Perth for a Tax Accountant Sam responded immediately. Not just responded, but with persistent anticipation of securing the task. For that persistent reason is why I chose to complete my tax return with Sam in Melbourne. From the beginning the electronic, verbal and call communication was diligent on a need to know basis without leaving me in suspense. The instructions were clear and directive with a call to action and I was left feeling secure and confident in the finished product. The service was outstanding and efficient and l am pleased I went with my instincts with Sam. I've already recommended Sam's services to my family and will do so with my friends and extended network. Thankyou Sam, you are appreciated. Kind Regards, Noeline Jensen: URFIT Personal Training - PERTH More...
