What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

BC Accountants Australia Pty Ltd draws a Cairns clientele that returns for tax and compliance work, and the strongest thread running through the feedback concerns company and individual tax returns, BAS lodgements and the identification of deductions clients had overlooked. A number of customers describe efficient and thorough handling of this work, and named staff feature prominently: Darren is thanked for his work on tax and BAS matters and for being approachable when questions arise, while Rose is credited with managing multiple returns smoothly and communicating clearly throughout.

Long-standing clients describe years of use without faulting the service, and newer ones say they intend to return the following year. The helpfulness of the wider team comes up often, with queries answered promptly and processes explained in plain terms.

For self-managed super fund returns and business tax obligations, some reviewers report frustration with unclear information requests, slow communication and having to chase updates, including a routine SMSF return that took far longer than expected. A further account raises concerns about a business tax lodgement not completed despite payment, leading to contact from the tax office and a dispute over responsibility. These experiences sit alongside the positive feedback, and the practice continues to draw repeat clients for tax preparation and BAS work.

Extremely disappointing service. The accountant was unclear about what information was needed for our Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) return, repeatedly requesting additional details one item at a time instead of providing a comprehensive list from the outset. Communication was slow, and I was regularly forced to follow up for updates rather than being kept informed. What should have been a routine SMSF return took 10 months to complete. There was little evidence of proactive client management, with the firm appearing to wait for the client to continually chase progress rather than keeping matters moving. The entire process felt disorganised, inefficient, and unnecessarily drawn out. A professional accounting service should provide clear guidance, timely communication, and proactive management of client matters. Unfortunately, this experience fell well short of those expectations. I would not use this firm again and would not recommend them to others seeking SMSF accounting services.

BC Accountants are the worst I've encountered. I only found out last week from the ATO that, despite my payment, BC failed to lodge my business taxes three years ago. The ATO is chasing me, though BC Accountants deny responsibility and were rude when I requested a refund, even threatening to sue me when I told them I would be complaining to Fair Trading and the Tax Practitioners Board. I've since lodged a complaint with the Tax Practitioners Board and informed the ATO of BC's unprofessional conduct. I hope I don't face ATO penalties due to BC Accountants' incompetence.

Stephen's very efficient and prompt with his responses. We've used BC Accountants for almost a decade now filing our SMSF's tax returns and have not had any issues. Would highly recommend.

Have been using BC for our company tax returns for some years now, and cannot fault their service. Always highly efficient, excellent value, and do a thorough and effective job. They definitely stand out from the crowd :-)
