What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Businesses that move from PAYG employment into a company structure, along with owners needing personal and business accounting handled together, form a recurring thread in the feedback for this practice. Chris and Melanie are named repeatedly for their depth of knowledge across general and business accounting, and customers note that calls are answered promptly even when the question seems minor. Several reviewers value the regular, forward-looking discussions that keep them informed of their obligations, while others describe guidance through a severe trading downturn and the recovery that followed.

Reliability, efficiency and professional judgement come up often, as does the personal interest taken in each client and their enterprise. The wider team is described as friendly, helpful and dedicated, with referrals to other services offered when needed, and the use of current technology is credited with removing much of the effort from everyday accounting tasks. Many relationships span decades, and clients who switched from previous accountants describe the improvement in their affairs as considerable, with tax returns, superannuation, retirement planning and the sale of a business all covered.

Rude staff! Don’t bother calling this company, unhelpful, judgemental and dismissive.

Highly recommend Melanie and Chris at East Partners. They are extremely knowledgable in general accounting and business accounting. I have been using them from being a PAYG employee to self employed in a company structure and they have offered fantastic service and expertise on all accounts. They never hesitate to answer a call, no matter how minor my questions were. Will be recommending them to friends and family.

The COVID-19 pandemic shook our business to the core. If there was ever a time we needed guidance, expertise and care, it was now. During those uncertain times, Chris took the bull by the horns and showed us the way forward. He was instrumental in helping us survive — and now thrive. Chris has serious experience and expertise. He possesses diverse knowledge and makes working together easy. He is much more than an accountant. He takes a genuine interest in the success of our business and his mission is simple; to help grow your business.

Great service, I needed a letter written from a CPA approved accountant for one of the requirements to get my builders license. Chris was very helpful, organised a phone meeting straight away and wrote the letter for me the very next day. Definitely recommend East Partners to everyone. Thanks again Chris

We have been with Chris for many years and his help over that time has been invaluable in all things financial - tax returns, superannuation, business advice, retirement, sale of business etc. Chris's honesty and friendship along with his great team has provided us with such security in the knowledge that we have the very best looking after our financials.
