Since the moment I walked into the office, I felt very welcomed by the professionalism of the team. For years I've dealt with a of tax companies but this was different. There was a personal touch that seemed as if they really wanted to help me. The communication and diligent work that tax focus provided for me was outstanding. I recently immigrated from Australia to New Zealand and tax focus sorted everything out for me. I have to say that I wish I found tax focus years ago. I regard them as the best in the business.

I’m not one to post many reviews but after my consultation with Marcel it was impossible not to. He was so organised, honest and helpful in sorting out my annual tax return. He answered all my questions and made me feel extremely comfortable considering finance and tax is something I have little knowledge in. I will definitely be attending here for the years ahead. Thankyou again.

Marcel at Tax focus has honestly been the best referral I ever got financial-wise. First started going to Marcel back about in 2014 on the recommendation of my friend and it was SO EASY. He does everything by email which I appreciate as it doesn't take time out of my day. He contacts you within 24 hours of initiating contact and has the taxes done within like 3 days or something ridiculous at a totally reasonable price. I literally had the worst experience last year when my sister convinced me to go with our family accountant and NEVER AGAIN. This other tax accountant was impossible to contact, charged double what Marcel charges, had his underlings doing all the work for him (and they gave me the wrong GST calculation that when I corrected them they said "oh yeh" and added an extra 5 bucks onto the bill) and it took 2 months of me sending unanswered emails chasing them up to make it happen. I sheepishly returned to Marcel this year and he welcomed me back with open arms! NEVER going anywhere else EVER AGAIN. TAX FOCUS with MARCEL 4LYF

Marcel and Poh did a great job in preparing multiple tax returns for me. I was well behind in filing tax returns, there was no judgment from Marcel, rather he reassured me that he had helped others in the same situation. I would definitely recommend Tax Focus.

Marcel was amazing to deal with. He was very professional, knowledgeable and sorted out my taxes quickly and efficiently. He was very open to providing advice for managing my business ongoing and spent an extra 30 mins on the phone with the ATO on my behalf helping me clear up a past issue. I would recommend Marcel and Tax Focus to anyone wanting quality but affordable tax services.

I cannot recommend or speak highly enough of Marcel at Tax Focus. I had let my tax returns get very behind schedule, which was causing me a great deal of stress and worry (yet I continued to put it off). Marcel helped me file several years' worth of returns, and was incredibly helpful, patient, and professional through-out the process.

On top of that, he's just a good guy. There's never any judgement or pressure, just a focus on getting the needful to get your tax returns filed as accurately as possible. If you're behind in your tax returns, don't put it off any longer - get in touch with Tax Focus because they've seen it all before, they know what to do, and you will feel much happier when it's all done.

Marcel has just completed 2 years of late tax returns for me. From my initial phone call with Marcel I found him professional, informative and helpful. Marcel shines excellence in his work with his tax knowledge and also in his interpersonal skills. I have walked away from the office firstly, relieved that my taxes are sorted and up-to-date and secondly, understanding what I need to do to manage my affairs better and more productively. His generosity with his knowledge/expertise, his professionalism and friendliness as well as competitive rates make it very easy for me to highly recommend Tax Focus to anyone.

I have used Tax Focus several times now and I will not go anywhere else. They helped me both while I was a student and for my first job out of university. The accountants where very friendly, helpful and understanding and made tax time a whole less stressful. The Tax Focus team is so good, I even continued using them after moving to Brisbane - even with distance services and relying on only digital and phone communication, they still made Tax time a breeze. These guys are incredibly efficient and adaptable, I would highly recommend to anybody, anywhere in the country.

Tax Focus were great accountants for me while I was in university and working part-time. They were very efficient and friendly, and took the time to answer all my questions patiently, even when they were very silly questions. Their rates are also incredibly competitive, and by far the most affordable I could find. I would highly recommend Tax Focus to any students or tax newbies out there, and have already referred many friends to these wonderful accountants.

Tax Focus has THE BEST accountants in Sydney area. Their accountants are very professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and Marcel is by far the best accountant we've ever had. No question went unanswered and all documentation was always 100% accurate...customer service at its best. Marcel always took the time to advise us of any tax incentives or deductions we were entitled to, resulting in larger tax refunds for my husband and I. Their fees are better than most other accountants in Sydney area and for the 5-star service you get from them, it's a bargain! Thank you Tax Focus for being simply amazing!
