What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Financial planning, business development and tax return preparation form the core of what reviewers praise about Carey Group Townsville. A point that comes up often is the longevity of these relationships, with clients noting that guidance has stayed useful for both business and personal affairs across many years. The personalised feel within a larger practice is a recurring observation, and a handful of customers describe feeling heard rather than processed. Louise Previtera, Dan Carey, Joe and Col are named for their patience, kindness and quick professional replies. Investment and financial advice is said to be matched closely to individual circumstances, with complicated matters explained in plain terms.

Budget planning and help pulling together details for tax returns are frequently cited as areas where people feel supported and kept on track. Advisers are described as staying in contact, answering promptly and maintaining continuity over decades. The relaxed and comfortable atmosphere of the practice earns mention, as does a readiness to assist that clients find reassuring. Knowledge of local industries is rated highly, and the capacity to handle business and personal finances together is appreciated. Confidence in the outcomes achieved and the steadiness of service over time rounds out the feedback.

I have a local real estate firm in Townsville. Carey Group was engaged to do 2 audits. The level of incompetence shown throughout this audit process was astounding. There was no communication, the completion date for the audit was well past the timeframe initially advised (with no communication), and as a result I was fined by the OFT. At no stage was I informed that the initial staff member handling my file had left the company, and the lack of follow-up or communication during a critical compliance process was simply not good enough. I have been working with a solicitor on this matter and will be requiring Carey Group to pay the OFT fine in full and I will also be pursuing recovery of my legal costs in relation to this issue as this failure rests entirely with the company. This has been confirmed by the solicitors working with me on this case. Additionally, the prior audit period was not forwarded to the OFT, nor was I ever advised that this was required. This was another significant oversight on Carey group. I’m very happy to now have a professional and communicative auditing and accounting firm managing my audits. Carey Group could not have made this process any more stressful.

Most professional and best service we have ever encountered. Will be with this company for the long haul. Daniel Hogan's financial/investment advice is spot on and tailored perfectly for our requirements.
