SH Tait & Co Chartered Accountants

S.H. Tait & Co Chartered Accountants was founded in 1924 in Mackay by Stanley Howard Tait. The firm is a member of Chartered Accountants Australia + New Zealand. It serves clients in Mackay, Proserpine, Airlie Beach, Rockhampton and Gladstone. The firm works across sectors including mining support, agriculture, construction and fabrication, retail, healthcare and property services.

It provides accounting and taxation services, including taxation advice and planning, accounting services, self-managed superannuation administration, and audit and assurance. The firm has a dedicated team of qualified accountants and provides team training at least four times per year. It serves many third and fourth generation clients. The firm's liability is limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.

Long-standing personal and family tax clients in Mackay describe a consistently smooth experience with this chartered accounting practice, where often complicated affairs are handled without fuss. Several customers note the depth of advice on offer and the fairness of the fees charged, with one recounting how errors in a group certificate that had been overlooked elsewhere were identified and prior-year returns corrected. Accuracy and a proactive, conscientious approach come up repeatedly, as does the sense that the team is genuinely looking out for clients' interests.

Named staff feature in the feedback: Monica is singled out for the way she directs the team, while Stephen, Kristelle and their colleagues are thanked for making life easier through knowledgeable service delivered with good humour. Reviewers also value the continuity of the relationship, with some returning across many years and entrusting the firm with the tax affairs of an entire family. The preparation of complex returns, attention to detail and steady communication feature as the constants, and the practice's expertise, professionalism and personable manner are the qualities customers most often highlight.
