The team at SBP have been the saving grace for Luke Bodyworks. Previously we had been given poor advice that led us down the path of nearly closing our doors. Without their guidance and extensive knowledge we would not have been able to succeed as well as what we have. They are constantly involved with our business and everyday operations, advising us on ways to move forward into the future. From their flexible billing options, to always responding to email queries big or small in a timely manner, I cannot speak more highly of Toby and Jan. 

From the first contact, Toby identified a number of historical issues at hand for our group that needed to be addressed.

We were in a situation where potentially all the hard work we had put in to build up the company, could have been destroyed by potential loan and tax liability, that would of shut the business down, due to no fault of the director/ electrician.

Toby slowly and surely started at the beginning and went through each item of the business and identified the problems and dealt with them, one by one.

With absolute clear communication and the willingness to answer any of my questions, I was advised to concentrate on my business and do what I do best, and he will do his job to sort the issues out.
With true confidence and knowledge Toby sorted out each item, including dealing with tax lawyers and the Tax commissioner, while always assuring that the journey will come to an end with a favourable outcome.

6 months on, all has been achieved as Toby explained, and the business carries on like nothing ever happening and also being completely complaint, with huge savings on tax, that you only hear stories about.
I truly believe the company has a guardian angel that actively and willing is working for us. Finally.

Balance! Healthcare uses SBP as our accountants because you have stood by us through thick and thin. Running a business is not always easy, and cash flow in a start-up can be even harder, but you have always believed in us as much as we believed in ourselves, and that is gold. The service is very good, the advice is even better. Thank you for being a partner in our business.

In my view, they are the best in the business! As small business operators our needs transcend the narrow confines of book-keeping & compliance obligations – SBP has not only saved us thousands of dollars in taxes & charges, but is playing an ongoing role in the development of business plans & timetables to facilitate growth in services & revenues across 2017 and beyond. In particular we appreciate the genuine rapport & interest of SBP personnel as “partners” in our business success.
Needless to say I would recommend Toby Barber & the SBP team without reservation.
From our first-hand experience their obvious strengths include –
• A genuine desire to understand the nature/history of your business.
• A refreshing willingness to ‘listen’ rather than offer shelf advice.
• An ability to cut-through & simplify the complexity of ATO and other requirements
• Personal and face-to-face contact
• Empathetic communication skills & ability to reassure & de-mystify the financial maze.
