I do IT project management and consulting, and I am a property investor.For the contracting business, I have a company and for the property investment business there are a number of entities I work with.I was referred to Accounting North by a colleague of mine in IT project management. He had dealt with Kevin Covacich.Accounting North has prepared annual accounts for all the entities we own – a number of companies and a family trust. They prepare the tax returns as well.

Just as importantly, Stephen Johnson provides advice when I need it on particular transactions, for example, the GST implications in buying properties which could be seen as ‘going concerns’.

I am very impressed with what they do. Their output is polished and produced in a timely manner. They seem to be able to do all my year-end accounts within the space of a couple of weeks, which is quite good considering there are a number of entities involved.

What I have particularly appreciated recently is Stephen’s willingness to get back to me quickly on specific issues that I raise with him concerning potential property purchases. Often the purchasing opportunities are not there for long and I need an informed view I can rely on.

I would absolutely recommend Accounting North, particularly Stephen Johnson
