What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Melbourne, Latitude Accountants has built its reputation largely through the work of Raymond Semaan, whose name appears throughout the commentary left by clients. He is described as thorough, approachable and responsive, with questions answered promptly and accurately, whether they concern an individual tax return or the wider finances of a small business.

An observation shared by more than one reviewer is the way complex matters are explained in plain terms, so clients finish a conversation understanding their position rather than simply receiving a set of figures. Reviewers note that nothing is rushed and that details previously overlooked were identified and corrected, particularly when businesses moved across from another firm. Small business owners describe support extending beyond lodgement, taking in guidance on structure and record-keeping, delivered patiently and without judgement.

The broader team is credited with being organised and quick to supply information when it is needed, which adds to the sense of a well-resourced practice. Friendliness and genuine care feature strongly, along with a feeling of being looked after rather than processed. Across tax return matters and ongoing account management, accurate work and clear communication are the consistent threads, and Raymond Semaan is the individual most often linked to that experience.

Absolutely outstanding service from Raymond.He completed my individual tax return and took the time to explain everything in detail. He covered so many things that other accountants have always rushed through or overlooked, making the whole process easy to understand and stress-free. Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about getting the best outcome for his clients. I couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend Raymond to anyone looking for an accountant. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Raymond's the best!!! 🙌🙌🙌 I joined Latitude a few months ago, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From day one, Raymond has been patient, honest, supportive, and always willing to help, no matter what challenge I've thrown his way. He helped guide me through one of the biggest transitions in my business, and now we're in growth mode. Here's to the next chapter! I can't wait to see what the future holds. Thank you for taking me on, Raymond - you're an absolute legend!!! ☺️

Just had an initial 30 min consult with Raymond Semaan. Very thorough in helping me understand where I have gone wrong in the past, and how we can correct those mistakes moving forward. He help set a plan in motion, outlined where he can help me improve the backend of my business. Kind and understanding too. Look forward to working with him moving forward

We recently made the switch to Latitude, and the experience has been exactly what our business needed to thrive. Raymond has gone above and beyond to help us through the transition, taking the time to answer every question, provide guidance, and ensure we understand every step of the process. What really stands out is how approachable, knowledgeable, and responsive he is. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble, and his advice has given us a lot of confidence as we continue to grow our business. If you’re looking for an accountant who genuinely cares about your success and takes the time to support you, I highly recommend Raymond and the team at Latitude.
