Our Clients Said

"Phenomenal service is the only way to describe the experience I’ve had with Geyer Accountants for the past ten years! They handle everything for me – from my payroll, bookkeeping, BAS, bank accounts, insurances, and loan refinancing, to both my Business and Personal Tax Returns. I can defer to their expertise at any time, and consult with them regularly about a multitude of things (including what the correct wage amounts are for my apprentices). It’s insane how good they are. I am always treated with politeness and respect and I can honestly say that I just love their willingness to help at all times. Whatever I need help with is taken care of, they keep an eye out for things I may have overlooked, and ring me to advise me of any potential red flags with the ATO. I recommend their extraordinarily personalised service 100%."

Dave O’loughlin

Interior Designer

"Carolyn and her team always deliver excellent service, with a high degree of competency and reliability. We find them incredibly easy to deal with, and most especially because they’ll always take the time to explain and advise us in terms that we can understand. And if there’s something that we just can’t quite comprehend, they’ll find ways to explain it further until we get it properly. Their open and honest manner makes us feel secure that we are being informed about the things that we need to know, and the issues we need to address for the ATO - and we’re able to contact them at any time to clarify any compliance issues. This is very important to us, because it means we’re not left with doubts about meeting our responsibilities, nor the threat of receiving any nasty surprises. We handle our own bookkeeping, but we’re also able to access Geyer Accountants’ expertise if we need assistance with Xero. Our use of their services extends to both our Personal and Business Tax, and in all things we find them to be incredibly informative and timely."

Natalie Hallett

Section Technologies

“Geyer Accountants exceed my expectations whenever I call upon their expertise for the myriad of accounting services I require for what are, often, very complex financial issues. They keep me informed and abreast of my obligations, they’re proactive in monitoring my accounts and compliance requirements, and if I ring for any kind of advice, my call is returned the very same day. I’ve found them to be extremely efficient, able to navigate any queries I make and, as a result, my investments and numerous personal and business interests are constantly kept in good health. I simply can’t fault their level of service!"

Terry Dougherty

"Entrusting my numerous accountancy requirements to Geyer Accountants makes me feel completely safe. I totally appreciate their honesty, their professionalism, and the fact that I am always well looked-after - whether it be for my business or personal affairs. They return my phone calls, keep me informed of updates to the ATO Tax laws, and provide sound advice about investment opportunities. They have also helped us to navigate the complications of sorting out financial matters related to the death of a close family member. Geyer Accountants have a consistent, straight down the line approach that we’ve been very happy to call upon. That sense of trust and reliability means we’ll be continuing to do business with them for many years to come."
