What People Are Saying
When I first discovered Consol on Google, I thought they must be too good to be true. Then I talked to them on the phone and was almost certain they were too good to be true! Luckily for us, they weren’t. The customer service, price, and ease of use make this company out of this world! I could not recommend them more. They are utterly seamless to integrate and effective as can be.
I had to put off finding an accountant for a while because of the cost and perceived hassle. However, after my first consultation with Consol I immediately wished I had connected with them sooner. Consol is responsive, affordable, and easy to deal with. Being able to outsource this aspect of my business has allowed me to focus more energy on the parts of my work that I love.
I have been most impressed with the Consol team since I made the switch last year. The ‘switching over’ process was simple. After the initial set up process I was able to track and log my company’s financial activity with ease and accuracy. By far the most efficient and helpful service I've had with accounting companies.
I started out in full-time practice over a year ago and also registered as a limited company. I love doing my work and seeing my clients, but I soon discovered just how much time doing the financials could take up. In the first year, I worked on my own tax returns and company statements, but was unsure if I had done them ‘right’ and really wanted an accountant’s expertise and guidance. From my first call with Consols Director, Andrew Joo I could tell that this service would meet my needs. Andrew has been quick to respond, patient, great at teaching lots and is a master Xero user. I find the system easy to use, and feel encouraged to get the most out of my business and confident knowing that I will meet my tax obligations. Compared to how long it took me to struggle at doing this on my own, there is clear value in getting the professionals to do my accounting.
I had been searching for an accounting option for my business for some time. I found Consol to be so easy to get started. The team was available to help at nearly every point of the day! I highly recommend Consol to all of those that have busy lives and need to free up some time.
Consol is great to work with. They are responsive when I have questions, quick to prepare any necessary documents, and always willing to help if there is anything I’m unsure of. Very happy to have found them.
I would genuinely recommend Consol for all of your financial and accounting needs. I needed an accountant quickly to help me find my feet starting up a rapid business. I had hundreds of thoughts and questions and wanted to do things right the first time... Starting a business was all a bit daunting, exciting, and a steep learning curve. Andrew was so supportive as he instantly responded to all my needs and then coached me through a solution and helped me understand the minefields at first. It’s really easy now that business is booming, and my accounting is taken care of. I can now enjoy the fruits of my labour. I still reach out occasionally and get an answer super quick thanks to Consol.
I had just started out in business and soon realised that someone was going to have to help me with my accounting and tax compliance. I was very conscious of the need to be vigilant about incurring any new costs, consequently I did a fair bit of research. I came to the conclusion that with Consol I could get everything I wanted, under one roof, at the most competitive rate I could find on the market. It was a win-win. After joining, their team discovered there were a lot of loose ends to sow-up before I could start functioning effectively, and focus solely on running the business side. Andrew, the Director of Consol was an absolute God-send. He was very personable and approachable, and made setting everything up from scratch so easy and quick. I’ve basically been running on auto-pilot each month ever since! Just as I had planned. Thanks for your service Consol, best decision I made.
As a busy owner that operates 3 businesses, I needed a reliable accountant. I have been using Consol for almost a year and this is my second accountant. I transitioned to Consol after one of my friends recommended them and am now so thankful he did. Andrew and his team provide a prompt, sound, and reliable service that is always professional. Andrew is always on hand to answer my queries, is very professional and prompt in replies - even on weekends and public holidays. He has a wide range of knowledge and experience in accounting and taxation. He has been helping me out with tax deduction and maximisation of profit. I can highly recommend him to others as he is very motivated and trustworthy. I look forward to a longtime relationship with him and his team at Consol.
Since starting my own business, when I need to get help with my finances and taxation, Andrew at Consol has advised me on the right approach. Professional and a great experience overall, I strongly recommend Consol to everyone who needs to get support for taxation.
