What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Tax preparation and business management consulting form the core of the work handled at this Caulfield North practice, where the accountant Neil is consistently the person reviewers name. Customers in several reviews describe the advice they receive as clear and easy to follow, with complex returns involving rental property income, Australian and international shares, work-related expenses and allowances, asset depreciation, and cryptocurrency mining and trading all being worked through in detail.

Several accounts note that questions, calls and emails are answered promptly, and that discrepancies are chased up rather than left to sit. The patience shown when explaining requirements and the time taken to understand individual circumstances, including temporary resident visa matters, come up often. Small business owners note encouragement and support as their operations grow, with one recalling help through a difficult position with the tax office that a previous accountant had declined to take on.

Honesty, diligence and a straightforward process are recurring themes across the feedback. The manner in which advice is delivered, described as careful and personable, and the thoroughness applied to each return before suggestions are offered, sit behind much of the praise. A notable point is the readiness to give guidance outside the tax season as well, which clients value alongside the completion of their annual returns.

Neil did my tax return for the first time this year and I was impressed with his work and his communication. My tax return is a little complicated, as I'm on a temporary resident visa, though Neil took the time to research and understand all of the intricacies involved. When we had a couple of discrepancies he was very active and prompt over email and phone to get to the bottom of them. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Neil at Accolade accounting to handle your tax affairs.

I found the experience of using Neil as my tax agent, a pleasure. His assistant, knowledge and advice was not only great but delivered with care. Highly recommend.

I’ve gone through my fair share of accountants, but I was fortunate to come across Neil Kagan—an absolute masterclass in accountancy advice and business tax management, all backed by exceptional client service. He always picked up the phone, always returned emails, and went above and beyond. I had been searching for a good accountant, but I found a great one. If you’re looking, look no further—you’ve found him. And beyond his expertise, Neil is simply a good person, which is rare these days. Thank you, Neil. Looking forward to working with you.

Neil was so patient with us whilst we slowly gathered all our info and documents. The whole process was so smooth and such a quick turnaround! I would 100% recommend him to anyone who gets too overwhelmed with completing their own tax returns.

Neil is very efficient, professional and thorough - my tax return was complex and included work related expenses, allowances, deductions, a rental property, Australian and International shares, asset depreciation, crypto mining and trading. He was able to deliver a very comprehensive report and provide facts and advice in a way that I could understand. He is prompt to follow up on calls and emails and completed the job in an acceptable timeframe. I feel absolutely confident about the outcome of the work that he has put into my tax return and would highly recommend Neil to anybody looking to get the maximum return within the laws / rules, whatever their circumstances. I can sleep peacefully at night thanks to Neil’s extreme attention to detail as he was able to pick up on a lot of things that otherwise would have been a concern in the future.
