    Looking for a good accountant to help me manage property portfolio and income tax. Any recommendations for Sydney CBD or Northern Beaches? Thanks

    A year or two back I said we meet approx 25% of clients face to face. I would think its closer to under 10% now. Using technology we can minimise cost, improve communication and outperform through avoiding costly city rents.

    I would recommend a great adviser over one that it is in a specific postcode. For example I would recommend Mike v's others. His degree of technical knowledge sets him apart from many others IMO. Looking at us doesnt enhance the words we use to advise.

    second for Paul. I have clients in BNE that use him and I am sure there are more further afield

    Actually looking at you detracts from your words!
    They will be lost in daydreaming thinking ....

    Thanks for the responses, sometimes nice to meet someone face to face once to get a feel for them especially if its going to be a long term thing but do get your points

    I was going to say that. Daydreaming - No. Recoil in horror ?

    The option to meet is always there. And video conferencing. Email. SMSF even. Phone....Whatever works. Our client portal also means we can be accessed 24/7 anywhere in the world any device. Click to sign a tax return too. And for information out of hours PAS TV is another (free) resource

    I would avoid Shukri Barbara. He offers no tax advises and is usually slow when responding to emails. Not an easy person to work with and not cheap. I would rather use an interstate accountant than Shukri.
