Testimonials
SATISFIED CLIENTS
Tania and her team have been great with their advice and handling of my legal matters with the ATO and TPB.
Thank you Tania, Bernie, Alice, Coco and the others over the journey.
The legal advice has been A++, as was expected.
What was not expected was the caring and empathetic way the services was provided through the entire process. Legal matters are very stressful, and I felt that the Waterhouse team had my back along the way.
I really appreciate that Tania still checks in on me from time to time, even after the matter has been settled.
The Waterhouse team were supportive when needed, but also there was a good dose of reality when that was needed as well.
I certainly hope I will never need their services again, but I can sleep easier with the feeling I know where to go if I ever have another legal matter involving the ATO or TPB.
God bless to the Waterhouse team – my family’s future is safer and more secure by having you on my side.
Thank you for A++ help
Hi Lamees,
Thank you for helping to get our GIC remitted on our tax debt. What a successful outcome.
You have been wonderfully helpful and empathetic through this whole stressful tax debt process. I really don’t know how we would have managed without you!
Kindest Regards
Joan

Thank you Lamees for helping with the tax debt GIC remission
In disbelief at the positive ATO experience
I slept well last night for the first time in a long time, after which this morning, feeling rested was almost like a strange experience!
Many many thanks for co-ordinating such a positive and eventful meeting with the ATO. I was still in disbelief after we left, not only at the extraordinariness of the synchronicities that became apparent, but also at how everybody worked collaboratively towards a favourable resolution.
You were right in advising me the way you did beforehand, and I am tremendously grateful for that.
I’m looking forward to resolving all this soon and getting back on track with timely lodgement of my returns as and when they are due from now on.
Thank you again Tania, for your continued good work.

In-depth knowledge of tax residency and other tax issues
Dear Tania,
Just want to say a big thank you, coming from a financial background myself, I was so impressed by your in-depth knowledge on tax residency and other tax issues, these are areas I often find that lots of accountants don’t even have an answer for, you are so knowledgeable, helpful, and really put my mind at ease.

Mission Impossible Achieved
Tania, You were referred to me after a relentless three year audit of my taxation affairs by the ATO. As well as threatening my means of livelihood, the audit caused enormous personal stress. But you achieved the impossible and liaised with the ATO to obtain an unbelievable result. I am so grateful to you.
As a result of your fantastic efforts I am now free to get on with my life. Thank you so much.
