Hi Tania,

You and your team worked tirelessly and we couldn’t have been more impressed or supported by you. Your team’s professionalism, communication and honest support gave us reassurance during a very stressful time.

We received the best result which was only achieved by their you and your team’s commitment and hard work.

Ludan B—January 2017

Impressed with Waterhouse Lawyers and their swift response to our enquiry. Could not get a better pick in Michael with his experience and knowledge. Thank you both!

Impressive

I highly recommend Waterhouse Tax Lawyers to anyone who has an issue with the ATO. The team were all fantastic and particularly Tania Waterhouse – she is a life saver! My wife and I had what we perceived to be a huge problem with our SMSF – after speaking to Tania we engaged her to take over and communicate with the ATO on our behalf and the end result was way beyond our hopes. We can’t thank you enough Tania – you have made our year! Best wishes and eternal thanks from Tony and Alison.

Tania Waterhouse – she is a life saver!

Excellent outcome

We are most appreciative of all your counsel and hard work on this matter.

It has been delightful working with you, and congratulations to you and your team for securing this excellent outcome for us.
