What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Sprague & Associates draws feedback that centres on personal, consistent attention from Michael, who is named across many accounts. Company returns, personal tax matters and the buying, running or selling of businesses are the kinds of work described, with clients noting that queries about tax, finance and business matters are answered without judgement. Tax planning and strategies recur as themes, particularly where owners want to keep more of what they earn and build wealth over time. Reviewers value being kept across what is needed each year, and the practice is credited with making tax time feel less burdensome and better coordinated.

Long associations are common, spanning many years and repeated returns. Small operators say the support frees them to concentrate on growth, while others describe steady guidance through significant financial decisions, including the purchase and eventual sale of ventures. Professionalism, helpfulness and prompt responses are mentioned repeatedly, alongside a sense that the advice is tailored rather than generic. The result is a picture of an accountant who asks questions, offers ideas and remains contactable throughout the year, which is why clients return and refer family, friends and colleagues.

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.

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.

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.
