What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Various customers describe a partnership that feels genuinely invested in their business, with Paul Dobson singled out for his depth of experience and willingness to find workable solutions rather than take the easiest route. A number of reviews mention that advice extends well beyond compliance work, covering strategy, financial planning and analysis, and the kind of guidance that helps a small operation grow.

One recurring point is that accounting tasks such as BAS lodgement and annual tax returns are made streamlined and efficient, leaving owners free to focus on trading. Named staff, including Bronwyn and Dylan Barry, attract praise for being knowledgeable, responsive and approachable, with clients describing confidence in the recommendations they receive. Small businesses with variable workloads note that their needs are accommodated and that forward thinking shapes the planning.

Customers also value the practical help of having a bookkeeper arranged to audit accounts, and the structured business growth program that assists with developing clear strategy. Communication before and after work is completed comes up as a strength, as does the willingness to step in when a previous accountant left matters in disarray. Tax, business advisory and day to day accounting form the core of what is described.

Appalling service. Calls unreturned, emails not responded to. I expected better from a partner - Angela Flavell. There are certainly better firms where custom is valued and behaviour is professional.

As a small business with a variable workload and sales, Kelly and Partners have accommodated all my needs and been forward thinking in their financial planning and analysis. Their communication skills and suggestions have been excellent.

We engaged Kelly Partners after a horrible experience with another accounting firm that thought of us as too small to provide good service to. We have had a fantastic experience from the onset. Paul has been super responsive and helpful to our needs and organised a book keeper to audit our accounts which has been so helpful and appreciated. Thank you so much Paul and the team we could not recommend you highly enough.

I have been using Stacey as my bookkeeper for 15+ years from Kelly Partners. I have found her to be extremely knowledgeable, helpful and caring. She goes above and beyond and I know I can trust and rely on her at any time. Stacey is responsive and always happy. I feel very fortunate to have her looking after my company's financial requirements and strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great bookkeeper/BAS agent.
