Testimonials

"If you are starting or growing a business and need corporate advice (but not at large corporate accounting firm prices), you can't go past Andrew and Sharryn. They are warm and friendly, but more importantly, they don't use jargon and technical terms that confuse or alienate.

Like most people, I find 'doing the books' to be time consuming and tiresome but with Andrew's advice and easy-to-use templates, it makes life a lot easier.

I would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants an accountant who speaks your language."

"NCS-Nicholls has been our accountants and financial advisors for 4 years since opening our first store. I find Sharryn and Andrew to be extremely knowledgeable, very easy to work with and always up to date with continuing accounting changes.

Since the establishment of our business, Sharryn and Andrew have helped us grow from one franchise to two. Their input has been a crucial part of our decision making and our company has moved forward at a progressive rate due to their advice and experience.

Sharryn and Andrew have been personally handling our taxation and financial affairs and they have given us the service that small businesses need especially now with the new tax system.

I am happy to recommend NCS-Nicholls as a true professional accounting firm with the experience to handle any situation from the simplest tax matters to the more complex issues of our business. I have the utmost confidence in referring new clients to them."

"We have been so impressed and delighted by the professional service offered by NCS-Nicholls, we have recommended them to several colleagues, and volunteered to write a few paragraphs about them.

As small business owners, we appreciate the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of their service. As people, we are grateful for their value-added approach - from offering to pick up and deliver paperwork to patiently providing support & advice. A friendly, genial attitude is backed up by dry humour and enjoyable interactions.

We find that they are competent to deal with large, medium, and small to sole or family business structures, and offer a personable approach that caters for the broad range of people they work with. Timely reminders, regular newsletters, phone contact, and a helpful approach are particularly featured.

They demonstrate a unique understanding of our small business needs with their expert help & responsiveness where-ever we may experience some difficulty.

We find them to be ethical, reliable and flexible, and appreciate their interest in their clients."

"I recently decided to form my own Human Resources company providing career services. I was definitely not prepared for the morass of paperwork.... 'ABN's', 'ACN's', 'GST', 'MYOB'...and on it went ! My accountant, (whom I've been with for 12 years), was not responding to my cries for help and I was floundering..bigtime !

I'd met Sharryn and Andrew whilst I was employed with my previous company and had always been impressed by their wisdom and commitment to getting the job done. When my accountant went missing, I spoke to Andrew and explained my situation and am I glad I did!

Since our first discussion I've received numerous emails from Andrew outlining what needs to happen. I have a timetable of forthcoming annual accounting and taxation requirements, my existing paperwork has been 'handled' and I have peace of mind for the first time in months.

I am now getting on with business in the knowledge that with Sharryn's and Andrew's combined experience in accounting, taxation, strategy and finance, I can get on with doing what I do best and NCS-Nicholls will handle my accounting, bookkeeping and compliance issues...AND be available when I need them.

A perfect partnership !"

“At last! After working with a number of different accountants over the years I've finally found an accounting firm who will flexibly work with me.

Andrew, thanks for your methodical approach in responding to queries, explaining complex terms in plain language and always providing a number of options in terms of approach in response to my queries.

I really value that your firm has the breadth of experience to be able to manage complex financial structures, understands taxation and is always responsive. At the same time you always deal with the more mundane in a thoroughly professional and timely way - with many thanks.”
