What Our Clients Say

Real feedback from business owners and individuals across south-west Sydney.

Switched from a big-name firm and the difference is night and day. My accountant actually knows my business and calls me before deadlines — not after.

MP
Michael P.
Electrical Contractor, Bankstown

They restructured our family trust and saved us $38K in the first year. The fixed fees mean I never worry about the bill — just the results.

SK
Sarah K.
Property Investor, Revesby

Started my café two years ago with zero business knowledge. Southgate set up everything — ABN, Xero, BAS — and still checks in monthly. Worth every cent.

Absolutely. We handle the entire transfer process including retrieving your records from your current agent and notifying the ATO. There's no penalty or disruption — we do this every week.

Not at all. Most clients work with us entirely online via Zoom, email and our secure portal. We also offer in-person meetings at our Milperra office for those who prefer face-to-face.
