“I was very fortunate to be introduced to Derek around six years ago. I did not feel comfortable with the accountant I was using at the time, questioning what they were doing.

My first meeting with Derek left me feeling much more sure he knew what he was doing, from that day on Derek has always been there to help me through all my decision making, big and small.

Derek was there for me when the GST was introduced (keeping me sane) reassuring me all the time, holding seminars so that I was up to date at all times. Sending me newsletters with any changes to tax rules and keeping me in touch with what was happening.

I have recently purchased my first Investment Property and Derek was there to help me do that.

My business has grown, and Derek has been a vital part of that.”

“When I first came to see Derek & Tristen at Twelve, my finances were in a total mess. I had four years of tax returns to be done and there was information all over the place. I had an investment property and paying off my own house, had just started a family and a new business.

I thought that I could do everything myself, but all I was doing was making it worse. Derek has been able to help me with all my accounting and tax issues, and Tristen has been fantastic with my finances, superannuation and mortgages. It makes a real difference when you have people like that helping.”

“When we came to see Twelve, we were just setting up our business. We were at the stage where we didn’t even know what we didn’t know, we were totally confused.

An hour with Derek and we understood what we needed to do. He looked after all the company set up and the ABN, GST, PAYG & TFN registrations and explained what we needed to do next so clearly. We would still be totally confused without his help.”

“When I would ring my previous accountant, I would only get to speak with the receptionist or the bookkeeper. Since coming over to Twelve I deal directly with Tristen or Derek.

It is great to have people to talk to, not just about tax, but about investments, insurances, home loans, superannuation or just about anything regarding my finances. This month alone they have saved me over $100 per month on my life insurances, re-financed my home loan and given me some great tax advice for my business. I wouldn’t have got that sort of service from the receptionist at my old accountant.

I feel completely happy with them, and I know they are looking after my best interests.”
