Sarah and the team at Freshwater Taxation have made my life a breeze. I was once overwhelmed by my book keeping looming and felt I had no real allies on my team to help me navigate the scary world of tax. Running my own small business this was really causing me a lot of unnecessary stress. The team at Freshwater have tackled my accounts flawlessly, their communication is second to none and I feel so confident knowing I have someone working hard to make sure I get the best outcome. Thank you endlessly!

Freshwater Taxation have been absolutely fantastic to deal with. They have handled everything from the setup of my Company, to my weekly bookkeeping and payroll requirements, and annual taxation needs. I strongly recommend that anyone needing an efficient and friendly service get in touch with Sarah Clayton.

Freshwater Taxation are really fantastic. I have been using them for years and I could not rate Sarah and her team more highly. what I especially love about these guys is the fact that they make it so easy. The process for submitting your tax is simple but also very affordable. Not only this but these guys provide such a personal service and are always so responsive. They also really know what they are doing and the ins and outs of small business so well. I am eternally grateful to Sarah and her team!

I am a word person, not a numbers one, so to run my rapidly growing copywriting business effectively needed a team I could trust to take all the bookkeeping and accounting off my plate. I found Freshwater a couple of years ago after a personal recommendation and to say I've been thrilled with their service would be an understatement. I deliver done-for-you services, consulting, and sell online products, not only within Australia but all over the world (just thinking about all the varying taxes to account for makes me a bit wobbly) but Sarah and her team take care of the lot.

Highly recommend Freshwater Taxation. Sarah spent the time and effort to get my sole trader books in order after 2 previous accountants completely dropped the ball and left things in a mess. Super efficient, dedicated to understanding your business and the hardest-working accountant I've come across. Thanks Sarah, you're a gem for me and my small business!
