Testimonials

"Nigel Parker and his team at Ascent Business Directions have looked after our business accounting and taxation for many years, including our self-managed superannuation fund, and have always provided excellent service. Nigel has always been willing to provide sound advice in regards to potential business investments, and on many occasions has been only too willing to seek expert advice for us outside of his sphere of knowledge.

We cannot recommend Nigel and his firm too highly, as they have for many years provided us with excellent accounting advice and service."
