Thanks Gillian and team, you have been a saviour. From re-doing badly completed tax returns done by another accountant to providing direction and support in running my new small business you have been professional yet so approachable. So thankful I found you, such a wealth of knowledge can’t recommend you highly enough.

What an absolute pleasure. Simple Solutions Accounting's staff were all incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, efficient, crazy fast etc. I hope the company is building capacity because my husband and I who had our RSA and AUS tax completed through SSA have already made 2 referrals. Thank you for your time (and patience with all our questions) and for your efforts in completing our returns ASAP. Good luck with the next couple of weeks!

I’m so thankful I found Gillian. She was recommended to me by my financial advisor and the recommendation has been solid. Gillian is very responsive and provides detailed, to-the-point advice in normal language I can understand. I'm re-entering the Perth/ AU employment scene after three decades abroad so my needs range from basic (TFN) to complex (international / interstate assets etc). Gillian is a game changer. I have never experienced service and expertise of this quality regarding tax, ABNs, business registration, PAYG, landtax, etc. Gillian never makes me feel stupid. Do yourself a favour - fire whoever you are using now and book Gillian.

Getting Gill and her team on board to manage my accounting has been one of the best decisions I've made for my business. I've gone from spreadsheets to Xero with barely a blip, and the communication from the team has been exemplary. Thank you Simple Solutions! You make my life as a business owner so much easier :)

My partner and I are both sole traders and relatively new to the business world so finding a good Accountant we can work with long term who would take the time to get to know our respective businesses, provide suggestions on how we can improve on our bottom line and help us understand how to get the most out of our tax returns has been really important to us. In our first few years of trading we have been through a few different Accountants as we had not encountered someone that we felt comfortable with, who took the time to get to know us and didn't make us feel like just another number on their books. To be honest we had pretty much given up hope of finding someone that we were happy with (perhaps our businesses were too small and not important enough) so we were absolutely delighted this year to have found Gillian and her team at Simple Solutions Accounting. After initially reaching out to Gillian she was more than happy to make a time for us to have an initial meeting so we could get to know her as well as to talk about our respective businesses. We didn't feel rushed, she showed a genuine interest to understand how our businesses operate and took the time to answer all of our questions as well as provide advice that we could go home and apply straight away. Needless to say we were really happy with our first impressions. Those initial impressions were further validated with all of our subsequent communication with Gillian and her team in completing our initial tax return with Simple Solutions Accounting and we honestly could not fault any part of our experience with them. Not only are they quick to respond to all of our communication but they go the extra mile by making sure everything is clear, concise, well explained and also provide additional helpful advice even when it hasn't been requested. Nothing is rushed and you can tell great care is taken in everything that they do. It is a huge sense of relief to find an Accountant that we can now trust and can work with going forward as our businesses grow and I would just like to say a big thank you to Gillian and the team at Simple Solutions Accounting for making what can be a really confusing and time consuming portion of our business so "Simple". If you are looking for an Accountant or just have never felt completely happy with the Accountant you currently use I thoroughly recommend you give them a call, I am sure that you won't regret it!

Gillian has been a wonderful help to me at tax-time as a small business owner and self confessed tax-numpty!! Affordable, extremely helpful and I never feel judged despite how stupid my questions must be. I can't recommend her highly enough. :)

Gill is an amazing accountant! I've been through quite a few accountants before finding her. No one sat me down and took me through everything to do with my business and personal accounting the way she did! I have the confidence now that everything is sorted!
