“We have known Mark professionally for over 20 years. Over this time Mark has provided us with informed and knowledgeable advice, and has always made himself available, whether it be in person, by phone, or even emails when he has been travelling overseas. He is easy to talk to and always explains financial matters in a ‘down to earth’ and ‘understandable’ manner. Mark and his staff are always friendly, organised and well prepared, and make us very welcome at their office in Parramatta. Thankyou Mark!”
