What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Bookkeeping, accounting and tax return preparation sit at the heart of what clients describe about this Adelaide practice, with work extending across business and personal tax matters. The depth of knowledge shown by the team is a recurring theme, and named staff members Pierre Avcarich, Carol Xu and Anish are each singled out for their expertise and their readiness to explain accounting principles and tax regulations in plain terms.

More than one review highlights how approachable and responsive the firm is, noting that questions are answered without delay and that the team stays available for ongoing discussion. Tax returns draw consistent comment for being accurate, prompt and thorough, with attention to detail ensuring entitlements are captured and refunds maximised. Clients also value the smooth transition when moving their accounts across, describing the process as seamless, and appreciate the education they gain along the way, which builds their own understanding of the figures.

Small business owners remark that their needs are grasped quickly and acted upon proactively. The relaxed yet professional manner of the staff comes up often, alongside fair processing fees seen as good value. Clean-up work on untidy books is another area clients highlight, describing improved clarity once the accounts are brought up to date, and the experience is described as stress-free from start to finish.

Best decision I made to join hands with Focused Books for my bookkeeping needs. A happy client recommended them since my books needed a cleanup, and I couldn't thank him enough. As the business grows, the books needed a change. I'm impressed how smooth the transition was. I'm getting more educated and it's getting easier and easier for me to understand my books. It's very helpful to be able to talk to Focused Books on a short notice if I have a question and they're responsive to my emails. I asked Anish for his professional advice, and he knew exactly what I wanted. We talked about it, he made changes right away and sent me the updated profit and loss statement the next day. My books got cleaned up, I'm now able to see clearly how much the business has grown and how much it's worth. So far I'm extremely pleased with their services. It seems like I can save time and concentrate on growing my business without worrying, because I have peace of mind that my bookkeeping is in good hands. Thank you Focused Books! Anish and his team is a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend Focused Books for bookkeeping and other accounting services.
