Testimonials

 May 2022 (Managing Director, Chartered Accountants Practice)

We spoke to the client this morning and have read your opinion. The client is very grateful for your review and thanks me for referring work to you. The feedback was that they were in awe of your response. It was the most appropriate and best outcome.

February 2018 – (Legal Counsel, Leading Global Corporation)

The issue that we hired Ashley to solve was one that the Australian tax authorities had never seen or resolved.

Many tax advisers in Australia told us that the chance of succeeding was so low that it was not worth the effort. At our first meeting, however, Ash drew out a proposed path forward and recommended proceeding. We went through each step meticulously. We were able to succeed in every respect, resulting in us being the first entity of our kind to achieve the tax status we sought.

October 2013 – (Head of Tax, Large Global Bank)

Ashley’s approach to Tax Controversy is different to the other Big 4 accounting firms, who would have just made things worse. Compared to the competitors in relation to Tax Controversy work, it is hard to find any, you rank number 1.

It won't resolve itself.
