What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Practical guidance for small business owners and property investors stands out as the theme running through feedback on this Newcastle firm. Family trust structures, gearing strategies, loan structuring and depreciation deductions are described as sound and clearly explained, sitting alongside compliance work that includes BAS lodgements, GST, wages, superannuation documentation and annual returns. Personal and business tax returns are completed with care, and mistakes left by previous accountants are corrected methodically.

Client communication is repeatedly praised as clear, timely and ongoing, with complex matters broken down into plain language. Gary and Megan are singled out for being approachable and generous with their time, answering questions well beyond scheduled meetings. Value for money receives frequent comment, with fees considered fair for the standard of work, and Xero is noted as the bookkeeping platform used for records.

First-time landlords report that document requirements were set out thoroughly, while long-standing clients appreciate continuity and the confidence that compliance is handled without close supervision. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the reassurance of having accounts brought back into order after earlier setbacks, and superannuation obligations, tax office correspondence and eligibility for entitlements are all managed as part of the service. Clients also value advice on structuring finances to make the most of deductions and the ongoing support provided as businesses grow.

We can not recommend Melanie enough. We are new clients, and we feel Melanie went above and beyond to help us with our end of year tax return. I've been doing our tax return for a while and haven't had a return as good as this one. From her warm smile to her patience, with the bombardment of questions we had for her, she made use feel comfortable and relax. We are new to the rental market and had a mess of papers which she went through with a fine tooth comb and as it turned out we, after research she had done for us, we had a lot of things wrong, so we could not do much against the rental this year but she gave us great suggestions on changes to make for a better return next year. Thankyou Melanie

5 Stars – Outstanding Service from GC Accountants I’ve been working with Gary from GC Accountants for the past six months, and I can honestly say it’s been a game-changer for my business. From day one, Gary has gone above and beyond – not only handling my tax returns and bookkeeping with absolute precision, but also backdating my taxes and making what could have been a stressful process incredibly simple. The communication has been exceptional throughout. Gary is always quick to respond, clear in his explanations, and generous with his expert advice. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the success of his clients, and he’s set my company up to thrive from the ground up. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and proactive accountant who makes your life easier and your business stronger, I can’t recommend GC Accountants highly enough.

I can’t recommend GC Accountants highly enough! Gary has been incredibly helpful, understanding, and supportive, especially during a time when I had almost given up on my business. His expert guidance and steady support helped me get back on track and keep things afloat. I’m truly grateful for his dedication and professionalism. The reception staff are also fantastic, always friendly, efficient, and ready to help with anything I need. It’s clear that GC Accountants truly care about their clients. Thank you for everything!

I've been working with GC Accountants for 8 years, and they have been exceptional. They set up a Family Trust for me, which has been invaluable for asset protection and tax savings. GC Accountants handle all my Xero bookkeeping, BAS lodgements, end-of-financial-year tax planning, and year-end tax returns. Their expertise and support have made managing my finances so much easier. Highly recommend their services
