What do our Clients Say?

12 years ago Ross assisted me in starting my sole proprietary business from scratch. I had never run a business and had to put my full trust in Ross and his team to setup and keep things running smoothly. Ross’ advice has always been appropriate to where my business was at the time. Together we discussed milestones of the business and Ross has ensured that structure of the business was appropriate to our growth. We are now a private company with several staff. Ross and his team from Collective Accounting look after all my financial needs from monthly bookkeeping and payroll, to the company’s annual financial statements and tax affairs. Collective Accounting also looks after my personal taxes. Above all this, it is reassuring to know that I have a “partner” in my business that can guide me in all my financial matters. Little did I know back in 2008 when I made the decision to appoint Collective as our accountants, how critical their role would be.

If you’ve ever heard the phrase: “People like doing business with nice people”, it’s never been more true in the case of Ross and his amazing team at Collective Accounting. Since the beginning of UVS, we have grown substantially every year and I place part of our success firmly in the rock solid approach from this amazing team. Always attentive, always on point and available, the Collective Accounting team does finance and accounts with great aplomb.
