Jamie Sullivan,
Managing Director of RDG Electrical and Communication SolutionsWe share a number of mutual clients with Bean Counted Bookkeeping. Our accounting firm prides itself on providing proactive tax planning, business structuring and strategic business advice in addition to the standard tax and compliance services required by the ATO. In order to provide such strategic advice we rely on services like that provided by Sharon and her team. Their work is always timely, reliable and easily understood by us. We have great three-way communication between ourselves, our clients and Bean Counted. I often recommend Bean Counted to my clients who have complex structures or require “tidying up” of their accounts. Sharon is very personable, honest and client focussed. I would highly recommend Bean Counted Bookkeeping to small and medium sized business owners looking for a competent, professional bookkeeping service.
