“I have found Sam Patrick & his team at The Diligent Group to be pro actively responsive in their handling of my taxation affairs. In what appeared to be a complex tax matter, Sam & his staff were entrusted by me to assist. Not only were they courteous & understanding, they went the extra mile and delivered a result in my favour. I was kept well informed all along the process regarding progress with ATO; very importantly, their handling of their time cost fee was exemplary as there were no surprises there!. I truly appreciate Sam’s work & care & wish him & his team the best with a thorough recommendation for their professional services.” Ms S Serman Property Investor

The hand holding we needed was happily met by all the great staff you have combined into a fabulous team. The physical distance between our businesses has its challenges but is made easy with the many different ways of interactions possible, Skype, Email, Facebook, Fax and even the good old telephone.
