Testimonials

5/5
“I’ve been working with HJL since I set up my business in 2010. At that stage I didn’t know anything about how to set up company or what my tax obligations were so it was a godsend when a friend recommended HJL. Leigh explained everything in terms I understood then took care of it all for me. My business accounting runs like clockwork – I’m using Xero (which is truly awesome) and HJL provide ongoing business advice and day-to-day support. I’m really happy!”
