Wayne Hockley is the best accountant Ive had since I opened my first business in 2003. We recently changed to Anthony Russel and Ive been blown away by the level of service and practical advice that Wayne, Keeley, Georgi and Dena have provided.

I have been using Anthony Russel for my personal and business accounts for many years and cannot fault them. Not only do they offer a comprehensive service for day to day matters I know I can contact them at any time for a swift answer to any question I have. They help me to progress my business and plan for the future. In my experience they are much more then an accountancy practice.

Anthony Russel are our accountants. We have always received excellent, practical advice on issues which are important to us, when we need it. They are on hand to discuss potential issues so we can plan how we develop our business. This is all done with fixed fees so we can be sure of our commitment, although built into this is the ability to have extra meetings whenever we need them.
