Thank you very much for helping us through the difficult period during the first half of this year. Michael’s proposal for a settlement with the ATO was fair, practical, and highly effective.

We are very pleased with the outcome — it allows us to refocus on our business and continue contributing more tax to the ATO.

A true win-win-win for all parties.

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.
