We find Michael and Amy to be very helpful. He explains things simply, and I always walk away feeling like I have a better picture and understanding of our tax questions.
Great service, I use these guys for my company. Always a pleasure to work with and leaves me with more time to focus on growing my business.
Michael is an amazing accountant, one that never makes me feel dumb for asking tax, finance, business questions. THis is how an accountant should be, answering your questions, helping you save money, and guiding you and suggesting ideas on how to grow your wealth and save on tax. Thank you Michael & Associates. Appreciate your services and would highly recommend it to everyone. So grateful my friend recommended me to Michael.
Very unprofessional. Does not send out reminders for tax and leaves you in the lurch with the ATO. Look for a more ethical professional. Sadly, Micheal, you possess none of these qualities.
Sprague & Associates were recommended to me after 13 years in business dealing with honestly, boring/dry/uncaring accountants who disappear for 364 days of the year. I was doubtful about them making any difference after years of huge tax bills and no advice from my accountants even though I asked for financial planning and help. Sprague & Associates were great. They told me 1. what I needed to do to put myself and my business in a better financial position and got onto work straight away. 2. kept meetings/emails to a minimum and just did the work on my behalf. As a single income household, they have made a difference to my business and my personal quality of life. I have recommended them to my friends who are small business owners with the hopes that they can benefit from better business structuring earlier unlike me. I now even log on to Xero with joy. Ok maybe the last one is not quite true. Thank you to the team from Wynter and her Fendi bag.
Have been using Sprague and Associates for several years now. Michael and his team always provide professional, helpful and prompt service
We contacted Sprague & Associates about getting some help with managing our small business. They said they'd love to help so we made an appointment. We wait 2 weeks and head down to their offices in Port Macquarie only to be told they don't have room on their books for us. Its a disappointing waste of our time, we felt they could have been on the front foot either in our initial contact or in the 2 weeks preceeding the appointment.
