We initially sourced Simeoni and Co in 2012 when our existing accountant went on holidays during our annual audit period without any notice, leaving us in a dilemma with the deadline fast approaching. On finalising the audit and subsequent discussions with Paul, we felt that he had an excellent understanding of where we wanted our business to go over the next few years and what had to be done to get us there. It was almost without hesitation that we decided to move our business to Simeoni & Co, having received poor service and what turned out to be even poorer advice from our previous accountants. From moving all of our accountant services to the team at Simeoni & Co, we have been delighted with the level of service and the quality advice that we have continued to receive over the last 2 years. Their assistance in getting our company accounts back on track, allowing us the ability to grow our business over the last 12 months and further strengthen our financial future has been second to none. The level of service, regular communication and financial guidance have been fantastic and we would recommend Simeoni & Co to anyone looking for an accountant and advisor.Troy Deviesseux Director at Deviesseux Property Pty Ltd
