I have had the same accountant for 26 years. He comes, does my basic tax return, is reluctant to give me any advice and although a nice guy – I now realise he is not the right person to be looking after my finances.
I am reading chapter 9 of Steve's book and realise how many very costly mistakes I have made. Can anyone advise me of a good accountant – I live in the South West of Sydney.

Thanks, I found that usefu l
Misguided loyalties cost a fortune.
I have a client in the same boat. His accountant is hopeless, but he can never leave because of the friendly relationship. The accountant is not even claiming one property which is an investment and is missing out on heaps of deductions, but my client does nothing. I point this out and he says he will check, and then comes back a year later with new tax returns with the same problems.

Thanks Terry,
I will certainly look them up. I have a very friendly relationship with my accountant also. I have finally decided that business is business and I need to have the best possible people to help me secure my future. I know it is hard to break away – I have been saying it for some time now but this is definitely it!!

Hey thanks tess85,
My mobile number is ########## if you don't mind sending through his details – that would be great. Much appreciated.

Hmm I've just realised it's impossible to private message someone on here! grrr.
Miccalady I will send you an SMS.
I thought you could PM someone on this forum, otherwise what are the inboxes for ?

Ah! good point. I was looking for a 1 solution point-and-click method and couldn't see it… still can't… looks like you have to go to the "My Inbox" link??
Do accountants do things like setup investment structures (eg trusts).
I’m new to this and need professional advice on this (as well as an accountant who own investment properties and knows about claiming every legal expense)
yes, some can, just make sure your accountant knows this area as not all do
