Marsh Tincknell have been the accountants for my group of businesses for over 20 years. During that time they have undertaken all public accounting, tax, investment and superannuation functions. I have always found them to be highly professional, ethical and timely. If you're seeking a professional accounting firm that can undertake work for individuals and are scalable to large SME's, I highly recommend them.
