What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Business and private accounting matters form the core of the work described by clients of this Launceston chartered practice, and the feedback reflects relationships built over decades. Several customers describe engagements spanning many years, with some noting they transferred their tax affairs after a recommendation and have stayed since. Emma Van Duiven is named repeatedly as the accountant clients deal with, and reviewers consistently highlight her thoroughness, professionalism and willingness to make herself available.

An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the calibre of guidance: clients recall questions answered up-front, matters identified that had been overlooked previously, and entitlements caught that led to stronger returns, including on overseas income. Being kept informed at each stage of a matter is another recurring theme, with calls returned when the accountant was otherwise occupied. The breadth of the practice's work, from helping clients start a business to resolving tax issues, is described in detail. Diligence, knowledge and a personable manner among staff are mentioned across the feedback, as is the speed of responses. The consistent thread is the depth of experience clients associate with the firm and its people.

Ruddicks were super helpful in clearing up a tax issue. They spent time up-front answering my questions and then let me know what was going on at every step of the process through to completion. The hours of time they saved me were well worth it. I recommend them 100%.

My wife and I moved to Ruddicks from one of the big accounting firms about 5 years ago and are very pleased to have done so. Emma van Duiven and Craig Leighton discovered several substantial matters, overlooked by the previous firm, and the resolution of these has been significantly to our advantage. Emma and Craig and the entire Ruddicks staff we have dealt with have been diligent, knowledgeable, professional and personable. We highly recommend them.

I transferred my tax affairs to Ruddicks a couple of years ago now after a recommendation and I haven't looked back since. Emma Van Duiven has been very thorough and very professional with all dealings. I too highly recommend Ruddicks and Emma.

We highly recommend Ruddicks Chartered Accounts. For the past 5 years we’ve been dealing with Emma Van Duiven for business and personal accounting needs. Emma is uncomplicated, great communicator, professional, available and if not will always return your call, answers all our questions with excellent advice and friendly.
