Juliette
Moving from one country to another and therefore a new tax system is quite daunting. I was referred to Darren via Facebook and haven't looked back.
From day one Darren has walked me through the whole process of preparing for and submitting my tax returns, he was always patient and very friendly and answered my many questions whether via telephone call or email. I have felt very confident about the whole process because of him.
I am really pleased that Darren was recommended to me and will definitely be recommending him myself.

I was thoroughly impressed with Darren's work. He was incredibly efficient, fast and accurate while preparing my tax return. He always replied to e-mails and phone calls immediately, and took the time to provide a detailed explanation for every question I had along the way.

Jennie Stretton
Accounting
Brilliant in every way. Very attentive, happy to answer any questions, very easy to sign documentation that is required. It's been a breeze so thanks everyone. Only feedback is that I think it would be courteous to forewarn clients if there is to be a price increase as my payment just appeared to change. Not really a problem, just a heads up would have been appreciated. That being said, more than happy to continue to use your services. More...
