Forrester Korfiatis is a small chartered accounting firm that has 2 partners and 5 staff. We are a finalist in the Telstra business awards for 2014. Our clients love the fact that we can be easily contacted by our clients. Should we be in a meeting, we respond to clients within 24 hours. Client work does not sit around in our office. Forrester Korfiatis have set a timeframe for work to get in and out of our office. For business clients it is 4 to 8 weeks, clients love this. Our clients consist of small to medium sized businesses, investors and self managed superannuation funds. Our clients mainly come from referrals from existing clients. We have been growing with clients being happy, and accordingly referring clients to us. I commenced professional experience with a large accounting firm which gave a good grounding in the way businesses operate and the structures available. Always wanted to work in my own business, and enjoy working with business owners and assisting them as their business grows. Our services include preparing financial statements and income tax returns for companies, various types of trusts, partnerships, individuals and self managed superannuation funds. The services required by our client base varies from client to client. For a number of our clients, we are in constant contact in regard to tax issues that occur from time to time, and we do a lot of tax planning prior to 30 June each year. Business advice for clients is a key part of our business, this can vary from assisting clients in growing their businesses, looking at budgets, cash flow, and business structures. Asset protection is a key issue for a number of our clients, and with the assistance of solicitors, we assist clients in maximising their asset protection, while also minimising income tax.
