Testimonials
SATISFIED CLIENTS
Thank you
Thank you so very much Tania.
Words cannot adequately express how grateful I am to you for your assistance with my complicated foreign matter.
You are approachable, understanding and patient and worked tirelessly, even over weekends, to attain an outcome beyond my expectations.
I’m finally able to sleep at night, thank you.
Amanda P—March 2017
When I was audited by the ATOI was given the wrong advice by my legal and accounting advisers. I was therefore left with a very unfavourable outcome and I had to object
I engaged the team at Waterhouse Lawyers for my audit objection and they were able to successfully reverse some very poor ATO decisions. I wish I had contacted Tania and team as soon as I received the original audit notice rather than trying to deal with the matter myself.
Unfortunately due to the original advice I had, the matter then progressed to something of a very serious nature. I contacted Tania and she very quickly returned my call and was able to give me advice at a time that was terrifying for me personally.
Tax Audit – Objection – grateful thanks
Saving my life and company
Hello Tania,
I hope this note finds you well.
You may or may not recall our case.
I will keep this short, as I can imagine you are very busy, but wanted to update you of the outcome. After you went into bat for me against the ATO in 2018, due to them issuing a garnishee over the company leaving me nowhere to go.
With your persistence we reached an agreement…saving my life and my company!
In our last conversation you asked me to let you know how we ended up and told me “show them that we would make it”!
Today I am emailing you with an enormous smile on my face…our ATO Super Guarantee Account debt was finalised in August, 2020 and today we received the attached statement from the ATO…as of 8th December, 2020 this is also finalised.
It has not been an easy journey, especially with the additional challenges of COVID…but we survived!
Thankyou Tania from the bottom of my heart, as without you I would not be sitting here typing this email.
May I wish you, your family and colleagues a very Merry Christmas and a safe New Year.
Warm Regards,
Trisha F

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts: tax debt
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.
