I have been with Riverwood Accounting for 5 years , and I have found Lyn to be very honest , and very helpful. We have our own business and I find it at times very stressful as I'm not up to date with a lot of things regarding tax , Lyn has stepped in and sorted out a lot of financial problems for us. Because our business is very varied it was very complicated . I would recommend Riverwood Accounting to anyone starting out in small business or large ,or anyone who wants an accountant who is unto date with Taxation laws , financial consultations,BAS. I highly recommend Lyn as she cares and you aren't a number you are important client.

1. Have your TFN, Medicare number, private health statement, payment summaries and receipts for deductions (or a written list) available for appointments. We will provide a questionnaire at interview. 2. Have your business records computerized if possible on a software program like Excel spreadsheet (income and expenses) or Cashflow Manager, MYOB, Intuit or Xero.
