Client Stories

icon-topic I contacted the team at GPAA when I realised I had significant amounts outstanding to the ATO due to instalments for the year, which they based on a prior years return. As my consulting income had reduced, I was unable to make payment of these amounts, which Teresa advised would not be necessary to cover my tax liability for the year. Teresa was able to vary the current instalment and receive a credit for the prior instalment to reduce the amount I owed to zero - taking a huge weight off my shoulders. I am very thankful for Teresa’s help

Lynette

icon-topic Even though I complete my own BAS, Teresa is always on hand to offer advice and share her knowledge. Whilst recently completing my bookkeeping tasks, I found it very easy to contact Teresa to confirm the decisions that I had made, and get advice on items that I was unsure of. Her answers have helped my business stay on course to grow in the right direction – thanks Teresa!
