I dealt with James at LJR and he had my work done and back to me within a week. He made a very stressful situation so easy and I cant thank him enough.
Professional, responsive and easy to deal with. Would definitely recommend. They take the stress out of accounting and small business.
I’ve been using LJR since starting my business and Luke has been phenomenal since day one. From structuring my business to dealing with my taxes and bookkeeping. I can’t fault them at all. Would recommend to everyone.
I’ve been a client of LJR Accounting for over 10 years, and I can confidently say their service has been nothing short of outstanding. Over the years, they’ve consistently provided professional, reliable, and knowledgeable support for both my personal and business accounting needs. What really sets LJR Accounting apart is their attention to detail and their genuine care for their clients. They take the time to explain everything clearly, making what can often feel overwhelming simple and easy to understand. Their team is always approachable, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure everything is handled correctly and on time. I highly recommend LJR Accounting to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced accounting team.
The team at LJR are so professional and friendly! Luke has been our accountant for 4 years now, he walked us through our options when setting up our business structure and has been handling our taxes ever since. Highly recommend LJR!
Went into LJR accounting for tax advice. No introduction, no handshake, 15min conversation for $165. I was provided with one approach and they were not forthcoming with information. Later research showed more possible approaches that weren’t discussed. I asked for a partial refund which was refused. I’ll be seeking advice elsewhere.
I can’t recommend LJR Accounting highly enough. They’ve been an incredible support for my business, always providing clear, practical advice and making sure everything is kept on track. What I really appreciate is their professionalism and attention to detail, nothing ever feels rushed or overlooked. A special mention to Sarah, our assigned bookkeeper, who has been absolutely fantastic to deal with. She is thorough, organised, and always goes the extra mile to make sure everything is accurate and up to date. Her friendly approach makes what could be a stressful process feel seamless and easy. If you’re looking for an accounting firm that genuinely cares about your business and delivers top-quality service, LJR Accounting is the team you want on your side.
