My business has been using CCM for several years now and we find them to be an excellent company to deal with.
Very professional but also friendly enough to add the personal touch.
Putting you at ease with any questions you have, no matter how inexperienced you may feel in a financial area.
Diane in Payroll in particular is spot on, she often reminds me every time I forget to send my monthly figures in because Ive been so busy. A quick friendly chat or email later and its all sorted. Very efficient.

Myself and my partner have used Carter Collins & Myer to complete our annual tax return for several years. We particularly like Sharon Madden one of the Personal Tax Consultants. She is very thorough and professional and is helpful with answering any questions. Our returns are completed in a timely way with feedback being offered as to the most efficient way of doing things. If we ever email with queries these are again answered promptly and in a helpful manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to friends or family.
