I first started dealing with Greg in the early 90s. In those days my tax was a nightmare, my filing a mess and I lived in fear of a call from the tax man. Greg sorted out my jumbled paper work, helped me set up procedures and document trails to simplify my record keeping. He explained Tax and financial strategies in a way that made sense to me. When I later started my own business, his knowledge and input was invaluable. Over the years I have recommended many friends and relatives to Greg, and I understand they are all as happy with him as I have always been.

Greg and his team have saved me so much time, energy and money with his firm completing our partnership BAS's over the last 12 years on a quarterly basis. Because of this at times he has reduced our quarterly PAYG installments which has been a great relief when cash flows are not so good. His intervention at such times has therefore aided our wealth creation strategies.
His advice and help during the periodic workers compensation and payroll tax audits have resulted in much better than expected outcomes. With a turnover of millions we need accuracy, certainty and tax planning, all of which Smith & Co have thoughtfully provided to us over the 30 years we have been in business.

We have owned up to 3 rental properties at various times over the years. Smith and Co Accountants have advised us on the many tax we can claim including the Division 43 Construction write off each year. This has increased our tax refunds substantially. Greg and his staff have always been approachable and answer our many questions regarding the properties promptly and accurately.

Greg and his staff have taken care of our BAS's and end of year taxation returns for our two Trusts, SMSF, Practising entity and individual taxation affairs for over 15 years and we have no idea how we could have done so without their prompt and accurate services.
We particularly wanted our Superannuation Fund run well. The last thing we need is to breach the SIS Act which we know would be a taxation disaster. Greg and his staff have, over that period, made sure we comply with the legislation and continually advise and update us on our responsibilities as Trustees of the Fund. We can now look forward to a secure retirement.

Running our manufacturing Company has been so much easier since Greg and his team took over our accountancy and quarterly BAS obligations. We don't know why we bothered doing them ourselves. We get a further 3 weeks to pay the BAS's which is great compared to when we did it ourselves.
By doing them he has been able to advise exactly when and how much dividends we can withdraw which has really added to our personal cash flow. Knowing our companies final income tax liability (if any) when he finished the June BAS is great as we can plan any payment well in advance of the due date, usually 10 months later.
When Greg told us of the small business tax break a couple of years ago we jumped at the opportunity to replace our cars which was a great tax saving.

We have owned a number of rental properties over the years and Greg was able to organise the Division 43 Construction write off each year which has really increased our yearly tax refunds. His staff are always on hand to answer our questions in a way we can understand. For over 20 years we have enjoyed visiting him and having our returns promptly and accurately prepared and look forward to many more similar experiences.

Smith & Co Accountants have advised and prepared our tax returns incorporating 3 negatively geared properties over many years. Greg was instrumental in advising on purchasing newer properties. This enabled the claiming of over $10,000 in non cash Division 43 and 40 capital costs each year. The large yearly tax refunds have been great for our family budget especially when we approach Christmas each year.

I've just started in my metal fabricating business. Greg and his staff made it so easy for me to comply with all the ATO and Work Cover requirements. I am grateful he has taken the accounting and BAS duties away from me as I and my staff can devote ourselves to manufacturing which is what we do best.
His help in advising us on costing our products has been invaluable in helping us cover our overhead costs and make a sustainable profit.

Having our relatively simple nursing individual tax returns completed at our yearly appointments with Greg is great as the refund arrives within 10 days. He certainly claims everything legally possible.
We are now also aware of the need to have our Wills updated because of the birth of our child. Greg pointed out the hazards of not doing so and our parents are now seriously considering Wills with Testamentary Trusts included to reduce future unwanted tax liabilities.

As a specialist doctor in private practice I have been very happy to have all my companies accounting and BAS work over the last 10 years left in the capable hands of Greg and his staff. I spend so little time involved in that side of my business that I find I have so much more time for my family and hobbies.
Thanks Greg.

Greg and his team made a complex reorganisation of our business into different entities understandable and our kitchen manufacturing business is benefittng from it.
His team was then able to organise finance for a work vehicle which has saved thousands of dollars in repayments compared to what we would have paid if we had used the finance company suggested by the new car salesman.

Greg and his staff have taken care of our motor vehicle repair business for over 20 years and have guided us in business planning and IT innovation which has made us more efficient. We leave everything to him. The quarterly accounts and BAS preparation help us know exactly where we are at any time. This helps us plan our tax payments. It's great to know our end of year income tax liabilities at the end of the June BAS as it gives us so much time to pay, usually 10 months later.
