What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Personal and investment returns, trust matters and company accounts recur across the feedback for this Gold Coast accounting practice, which clients describe as handling a wide range of work with consistent professionalism. Several reviewers mention named staff members Jack Cave, Igor Mitrovic, Michael and Lara, praising their knowledge and willingness to help, and crediting their advice on new legislation, investment reviews and business decisions with positive outcomes. A point that comes up often is the team's proactive style, going beyond compliance work to flag opportunities and educate clients as their operations grow.

Those who arrived after difficulties elsewhere describe disorganised records being brought back into order and their affairs restored. Longevity is a theme too, with many relationships spanning a decade or more and clients expressing confidence that the association will continue well into the future. Communication is described as responsive, with the wider team and its regional network of contacts able to address issues as they arise. The trust placed in the practice, and the gratitude expressed for its patient guidance during major decisions, stand out across the commentary.

I really wish I had something good to say about Walsh. Months of non returned emails and phone calls from Nathan. So many inaccuracies in our accounting and bookkeeping. I had them on a monthly retainer $1200. Feb and March accounts finalised in May 25 only because I had to call 8 times in one day for someone other than my accountant to call me back. Now they want payment for work not completed. I've wasted so much time and energy with this firm. And had to find another accountant and bookkeeper to complete my tax works and monthly reporting. Walsh are not even parting with my Xero account - holding my information for ransom requesting that I pay them for work - that hasn't been done. So unethical and such poor service.

After going through seven accountants in four years, finding Walsh Accountants has been like finding a diamond in the rough. They genuinely listen to your concerns, are readily available, and demonstrate professionalism, reliability, patience, and exceptional knowledge. Michael is incredibly personable and explains things clearly and patiently. He takes the time to genuinely get to know you, which is a huge asset. The entire team prides themselves on understanding their clients and building long-term relationships. When life throws curveballs, they are right there supporting you. I honestly couldn’t recommend a better firm. Thank you for being my right hand.

Our family first engaged Walsh Accountants in 1999. After 24 years together we have had over 15 different companies that you have looked after for us. Your general accounting and tax advice has been the main staple you have also handled our super fund, given overseas advice etc etc. Tom and Abby have been our chief advisers but over the years most of the team have helped in some way. Whenever we have needed something done in a hurry the team has always made the deadlines for us and this was particularly helpful when we sold one of our entities to a public company. Tom's help and advice got a $12M deal over the line during the tough GFC period. We are forever grateful for that. The support has been such that we have never ever considered any other accountant and I am sure we never will. The ongoing strength of our trust in Tom and Abby's advice has made our business life much easier and I have many friends who wish they could feel the same way with there accountants.

I have been enjoying the premium service provided by Walsh & Walsh for almost twenty years now. Very professional. I'll be with them for many years to come.

The WALSH accounting team are the trustworthy professionals on the Gold Coast. They have been my personal accountants for over 10 years and I can unreservedly recommend them.

We have been working with Walsh Accountants for a few years now and recently went through a Due Diligence process with Nathan and Robert as we were considering a franchise business purchase. Both Nathan and Robert were incredibly helpful right from the start, taking the time to sit with us and answer all our questions (no matter how small) but also acting in our best interests and advising on strategy and how to set things up, always in a timely manner. We wouldn't recommend anyone else if you want to feel confident knowing you have an expert team in your corner. Highly recommend!!!

Walsh Accountants are brilliant in ensuring business owners are educated at every decision of growing a business. The team invest so much of their knowledge in sharing with the clients. People are a strong relationship and that creates the confidence. I have Walsh Accountants as my accountant since 2008 and look forward to them taking me to retirement.
