We have had a long association with Forbes Audit and Accounting as our external Auditors in relation to my real estate business. As one Harveys/LJ Hooker's top offices in Australasia, we take compliance extremely seriously. We view strong compliance as a vital retention and recruitment tool to ensure our team feels safe and supported in the increasingly complicated compliance environment. We feel the team at Forbes Audit and Accounting are definitely on our side. They share our vision of continuous improvement within our business. They are highly approachable and provide an excellent sounding board together with providing solid advice around any situations that we might face on a daily basis. I definitely view the cost of engaging Forbes Audit and Accounting as an important investment within my business. This investment ensures that all my team and I have to think about is serving our clients within our core skill set of listing and selling real estate.
Cynthia and her team impressed us with their professionalism, knowledge and high level of service. As a new Real Estate company, we feel they fully understand the nature of our business and our needs. They are more than helpful in guiding us through both the virtual and onsite auditing processes efficiently and it has really been a pleasure to deal with them. We look forward to a continuing relationship with Forbes Audit. We highly recommend Cynthia and Forbes Audit to anyone looking for an auditor who offers prompt and quality service with friendly communication.
The 2025 audit of ABS was completed within the timeframe that we agreed on. Lara and Tharunya were very courteous and cordial, with a great understanding of the size and nature of our business. The whole audit process was conveniently carried out from their offices, with online access to our ledger and payroll application. We thank Forbes Audit for the very professional and thorough audit that was carried out, and also for their findings and recommendations.
We’ve always had a very good working relationship with Forbes Audit team. It’s 10 out of 10 from us.
We have had a positive experience working with Forbes Audit Limited over the past two years. Lara and Tanya have been most approachable throughout the process, ensuring we maintain a good audit trail and understand our compliance requirements. We appreciate the support.
