I have partnered with Crest Accountants for quite a number of years now. I guess one of the most valuable things to me as a business owner - apart from good smart accounting - is the fact that Crest are proactive in their support of my business.
Crest Accountants stay on top of things globally, nationally and locally in terms of what I need to be made aware of.
I liaise mostly with Troy who genuinely takes an interest in the wellbeing of both myself, and the health and growth of my business. He tends to see ‘big picture’ and that has been invaluable to me over the years. This will be even more essential as we begin to navigate higher volatility levels resulting from increased global instability in the seasons to come.
