Maru and team are beyond impressive. We had trialled 2 other accounting firms in the past as a business but weren’t happy as we got rookie account managers. they also charged us a premium so the service wasn’t acceptable.

PremierOne is a breath of fresh air, they go above and beyond to help which really makes a huge difference to a small business such as ours. Maru also gives very sound advice and already saved our business a significant amount!

Can’t recommend them enough! Go ahead and you won’t regret. Super professional, efficient and reasonably priced.

With no restrictions I would sincerely like to recommend PremierOne Tax and Accounting.
One of the rare consultants who offered a free discussion session to understand my needs and then confidently answer my questions. I had tons of consulting queries through which they patiently answered and the few left after the consult they followed up with me via email and provided me with answers.

Their personal involvement ensures that clients’ needs are considered first, unlike many other tax agents and consultancy firms I approached. They lay a strong foundation of trust with utmost diligence, making client satisfaction their top priority.

Can’t recommend them enough! Go ahead and you won’t regret. Super professional, efficient and reasonably priced.

Why Business Owners Choose Us for Accounting & Tax Support

Gerard

Our organisation is using Premierone and their services in a highly specialised, health/care management centric industry for a while now. Our management team is impressed with the results. Premierone has taken on the challenge of familiarising themselves with an industry which is extremely difficult to navigate, and have done so with great success. Maru, who leads the team, is very client centric and provides a top notch service; he genuinely cares about his clients, is detail oriented and is outcome driven. We look forward to working together for years to come!

We helped our client save over $310k through our outsourced CFO accounting, bookkeeping and payroll services. Our proactive team was also able to save the client $160k in bad debts!

So happy to find Maru as my new Accountant after a bad experience with another previously. Maru was able to identify previous errors made and make amendments to benefit me with my return. I recommend PremierOne and Maru especially. Don’t bother looking at other Accountants via Google reviews, you’ve found the right one here!
