I first dealt withBrowne&Co 25 years ago involving numerous business reconstruction assignments together.
Since then I have often worked withPhil Browne, John Hensley andtheir team on assignments where we have shared mutual clients. I have also instructed the team on my personal accounting, taxation and business management requirements.
Phil, John and their team apply energy and enthusiasm to all tasks undertaken by them, consistently demonstrating the highest level of professionalism and commitment I have experienced. Their efficiency and communication skills are outstanding, adding admirable service delivery to the quality of the work they do.
In my experience they are leaders in their chosen fields of business management advise, taxation and accounting.
I look forward to working with the Browne & Co team in the future.

Tax Audit for our client - June 2008
"Many thanks for your assistance with this review... It has been a pleasure to deal with you. Just with all accountants were as co-operative as you."
To John Hensley from the Australia Taxation Office
"We've had John out here last week for 2 days. I would like to commend John on his professionalism and ofcourse his very capable ability to carry out his work in a very efficient and timely manner (and we still had time to talk!).Birger and I are both very pleased with him and have 100% trust in his work and advise. It is a pleasure to have him come to our business."
Betina Nissen
Vegmasters Pty Ltd
"Approximately 6 years ago, I was feeling unimportant to my accountant as a small business. It was suggested that I contact Phil Browne so I did. Phil came and met with me and I changed over to what has been a very good relationship.
Phil resolved issues created by my previous accountants and brought the business on track. The advice and help I have received from Phil Browne and Mary Royal over transitions my business has gone through has been first class and I would take pleasure in recommending Browne&Co to anyone."

Below you will find three quotes from Phil Browne regarding our services
Director Solvency Advice
'We advised a client who had "gone too far" with appointment of a voluntary administrator and Deed of Company Arrangement. We acted for the Directors, where as the Administrator acts for creditors and ASIC. We dealt with banks, the administrator and handled the personal taxation obligations of the Directors. We aim to 'get in early' and help companies with solvency problems by refinancing applications to banks etc."
Tax Consulting
"Each of our tax consulting assignments is unique to the client's needs. We recently advised on structuring a property investment/development project so as to achieve the lowest long term Capital Gains Tax whilst having negatively geared interest deductions available in the short term. We often find that early up front research can achieve good tax advantages so planning at the start is the way to go."
Amalgamation & Tax Consolidation of Two Companies
"We assisted in the amalgamation of three companies, to achieve operational and administrative efficiencies. The tax ramifications of the amalgamation were thoroughly researched and analysed and the companies were consolidated for tax purposes. The client now has businesses which are more profitable as well as an enhanced tax position."
