As the owner of a Commercial Cleaning business, Laura and the team at Empire have been fantastic to work with. Their communication, responsiveness, and ongoing support have helped us gain control of our business finances and stay on top of our obligations. Highly recommend Empire to any business owner looking for a professional and reliable accounting partner.
I’ve been with Empire since 2020 when I first started my business, and they’ve been a huge part of my journey ever since. The regular check-ins—not just at tax time—have been incredibly valuable and have really helped keep me accountable and on track. Laura has been amazing to work with. She’s easy to talk to, explains everything clearly, and feels more like a trusted advisor than just an accountant. She’s always willing to help, and if something falls outside her area, she’ll point me in the right direction. I’ve also gained some great opportunities through their network and the value-added activities they offer, including being connected with a business coach, which helped me make some big leaps. Empire is more than your typical accounting firm. I’d highly recommend them to any business owner!
We’ve been working with Empire since 2015, starting with personal tax, and they’ve supported us through our entire business journey since. This included setting up our business structure when we started back many years ago to establishing our SMSF, purchasing commercial property, and even acquiring another business. Luke and the team make everything feel simple and seamless, even when it’s complex. Their transparency, advice and commitment to doing things the right way really stand out. They genuinely care, keep us accountable, and are always there to support us without any judgement. The trust they build is incredible. We’ve recommended them to our entire family, and have no hesitation in suggesting them if we know anyone in business who needs help.
We have worked with Empire for a number of years. This year was a tricky one for us and I am glad to say that Empire have come through again. Professional, Precise and Pleasant.
I couldn’t be happier with the service I receive from Luke at Empire Accountants. As a small business owner, having an accountant who is reliable, proactive, and easy to deal with makes all the difference, and Luke consistently delivers. He explains everything clearly and removes so much of the stress that comes with managing business finances. Luke’s attention to detail and genuine interest in the success of my business really sets him apart. I highly recommend Empire Accountants to any business owner looking for professional, trustworthy, and personable accounting support.
We’ve been working with Empire Accountants for over a year now and honestly couldn’t be happier. They’ve always been incredibly professional, approachable, and quick to respond whenever we need help. Starting our business felt much less overwhelming thanks to Leonard — he made the whole process smooth, clear, and genuinely stress-free. We’re very grateful for the support and highly recommend them.
We have been with Empire Accountants since its very beginning, and with one of the partners even before that. Over the years, they have consistently proven to be reliable, knowledgeable, and completely trustworthy. Their team is always helpful, friendly, and excellent with communication, making even complex matters feel clear and manageable. We have confidently used their services for companies, businesses, trusts, and personal accounting, and they have delivered outstanding support in every area. It is incredibly easy to recommend them to any individual or business looking for accountants who genuinely care and deliver with excellence.
