I have been a client of Shane Borg for some 20 plus years. Over this time I have always sought Shane’s advice for my business, investment ventures, taxation planning and obligations for my ventures and self-managed superannuation fund. Shane provides honest and directional advice that you can utilise within your decision making processes. Shane and the team at Stones Sharp are more than tax accountants, they are akin to business partners assisting me in wealth creation and business management advice…. They truly care about me and my family.The team at Stones Sharp are both proactive and responsive while they continue to communicate regularly. I highly recommend Shane and the Stones Sharp team.

Shane was incredibly responsive and was able to assist and provide value by providing a contact who would be able to assist with an accounting service which was outside of his core business services. Thank you for going above and beyond.

We moved from a large accountant firm to Stonessharp via a recommendation. The trust, service, care and attention to detail from Shane and his team has been brilliant and was exactly what we needed. We are a medium size trades business operating in multiple states that need constant support and advice. Stonessharp exceeded the recommendation and we are thoroughly pleased with our move. Thanks again to Shane and the staff at Stonessharp, keep up the great work.

What Shane and his team have done in this time is unbelievable from both a business and personal point of view.I would highly recommend Stones Sharp to any business owner and we are looking forward to a long and fruitful working relationship (and plenty coffees!).

After my long time accountant's retirement, I had to search for a new one and It was very hard while living overseas In the USA. I am so glad to find this firm.Brilliant CPA! Doesn't nickel and dime you if you simply have a quick question. Very personable and easy to talk to which I appreciate in anyone but especially an accountant! Truly professional and exceed my expectations.

Brilliant service from Stones Sharp. And no, I am not a relation of the Directors, just a coincidence. Without even being a Client of the firm - I was subleasing office space - they have proactively kept me up to date on email with all the job keeper programs. Hence, I am moving my business and personal tax requirements over to Stones Sharp.
