Porters Accountants was recommended to our businesses almost a decade ago. They have looked after not only our business accounts but also the personal and family accounts of both owners of the businesses. We have found the staff at Porters to be empathetic, practical and disciplined Accountants and hold the business in very high regard. We collectively hold a great deal of personal and commercial affection for the Porters business.

I have been a client of Porters CA for 10 years. When I joined Porters my affairs were a complicated mess set up by my previous accountant.
Within the first 30 minutes of meeting with Porters we had a plan that resolved issues with the ATO and had me on a path of recovery. Porters fast action and attention to detail saved my finances and my life.
Porters has also helped me through divorce and financial separation in a fair and supportive manner so we could move forward with our lives without drama.
The cooperation, support and care from Paula and Simon at Porters CA and Jason at Knight Financial Advisers is amazing – we meet together and integrate my business, tax, super and financial planning.
The whole team greet me with a smile and a chat. I couldn’t be happier.

I really appreciate the support I get from the team at Porters. Simon and Tor (and in fact the whole team) are always quick to respond to issues with genuine care and interest for what I am trying to achieve commercially and personally.
With the help of their guidance and advice I have seen Bull Motor Bodies develop and grow and I must admit that my previous view of seeing an accountant as a compliance cost has changed to now seeing Porters as an important value adding part of my business and financial success.
A chat with Porters gives me access to a range of services, including solid and practical financial and investment advice from Jason at KFA and finance broking services from Mike at Vertex.
For me, Simon and Tor are my first point of contact whenever I have an accounting or financial query and they never fail to provide me with a balanced and professional solution.
I would fully recommend the friendly team at Porters.

We have been with Porters since 1994 and have found them to be very good. It is also fair to acknowledge that they have certainly played a part in our success.
I wouldn’t say that Porters are the cheapest but it’s about value for money.
I make 2 particular comments.
1. They are very thorough. I feel that if we were to be audited by the ATO, apart from the inconvenience, I would feel very comfortable that we would come through clean.
2. Based on comments of what other businesses are paying, I think we are getting a very fair deal. I believe that the larger the firm, the less value you are getting (with accountants).
The knowledge of the staff at Porters from property transactions, legal matters in general, appropriate company and entity setups etc is exceptional. They have no problem challenging other professions when they believe/see issues involving Porters’ clients.
You would do yourself no harm to speak to Porters. They will give you an idea of the costs and they won’t charge you anything to have an open discussion, even if you didn’t change over.

Porters suggested I should digitally approve documents using their online portal in place of my usual signature. I’m not great at computers but I gave it a go and it was really easy to work out.
Approving documents from my phone or computer was so much better than having to print, sign, scan and return by email or post back.
The fact that I can approve documents so quickly and easily, gives me more time to focus on my work as a vet.

Porters has been our accountant since last year, September 2016. For us, Eileen Hu is our first point of contact and she looks after all our taxation needs (business and personal). Friendly reminders that the BAS is due, to thorough preparing of our financials and tax returns. She is accessible and is always there to answer our queries. She is professional and very patient. For the first time over the past 50 years, we can finally comprehend our whole set of accounts and tax returns.
The support from the team at Porters is good. We have no hesitation in recommending Porters for your accounting and taxation needs.
