What Our Clients Think

    “I Started with Zero Tax Knowledge. Atramentum Changed That.”

    When I started at Atramentum, I had my first casual job and absolutely no idea how tax worked. Michael explained everything clearly, made sure I wasn’t leaving anything on the table, and never once made me feel out of my depth. As my career moved into childcare, he’s kept me across how everything works — not just lodged my return and moved on. If you’re starting out or navigating tax for the first time, this is the place to go.

    “ Throughly explained the process and no question was silly”

    As a new employee I was nervous when it came to tax time as I was unsure what to do.

    Michael was fantastic and put me at ease as he thoroughly explained the process and no question was silly. Atramentum handled everything from start to finish making it all so simple and easy.

    Definitely will be back next year!!

    “Flexible, Thorough and Worth Every Cent. Atramentum Gets It Right”

    I work in aged care and my schedule makes it hard to get to appointments during business hours. Being able to do my tax consultation via video call was a game changer — same quality advice, no commute, no rearranging shifts.

    I had always assumed my tax return was pretty straightforward.

    Michael was thorough with my deductions and found things I hadn't thought to claim. The difference in my return was noticeable.

    Highly recommend Atramentum to anyone in healthcare or other shift-based work.

    “As a musician time is important..”

    As a dedicated musician and FIFO (Fly-In-Fly-Out) worker, my life is a constant juggle between creative pursuits and maintaining financial stability. Atramentum has been an invaluable partner in helping me navigate the complexities of tax and business management.

    Their team's expertise in the intricacies of tax regulations and business planning has been instrumental in ensuring that I make the most of my hard-earned income.

    Michael’s personalised approach and attention to detail have been truly refreshing – they took the time to understand my unique circumstances and tailored their services accordingly.

    In the dynamic world of music and remote work, having a reliable partner like Atramentum has provided me with peace of mind. Their consistent communication and prompt responses to my inquiries have made me feel like a valued client, not just another number.

    I'm proud to recommend Atramentum Tax and Business Services to fellow musicians, FIFO workers, and anyone seeking comprehensive, efficient, and personalized financial support.

    With Atramentum by your side, you can confidently focus on pursuing your passions while leaving the complexities of taxes and business management to the experts.

  • “Multiple Businesses. One Family. One Adviser Who Held It All Together.”

    Running a family business comes with a layer of complexity that most accountants don't fully appreciate — the business decisions and the family dynamics are never completely separate.

    When your family owns several different businesses, the complexity compounds quickly. Each entity has its own needs, but they’re all connected — by ownership, by tax exposure, and by the family relationships that sit behind every decision.

    Michael at Atramentum understood that from day one. He looked across the whole group, not just each business in isolation, and gave advice that made sense for everyone involved. He was sensitive to the family dynamics at play, knew when to tread carefully, and never lost sight of the bigger picture.

    The technical work — restructuring, tax planning, compliance across multiple entities — was handled thoroughly and with a clear focus on the best outcome for the group as a whole.

    The trifecta you need when family and business overlap: someone who understands family dynamics, knows how multi-business groups work, and delivers technically. We came away with a cleaner structure, better outcomes across the group, and no friction at home.

    "Michael's dedication, patience, and genuine care makes all the difference."

    I had the pleasure of working with Michael from Atramentum for the first time this year for my tax return, and I can't express enough how thankful I am for his expertise and patient guidance throughout the process. As someone who finds tax matters a bit overwhelming, Michael's approach was calm, reassuring and focussed on my situation..

    He took the time to break down every aspect of my tax return in a simple, easy-to-understand way. His patience and willingness to answer my questions made me feel empowered rather than lost in the process. What truly stood out to me was that Michael went beyond the numbers on my forms – he showed genuine interest in my financial future and security.

    Michael's insights and advice went beyond the immediate task at hand. He looked at the bigger picture, discussing ways to enhance my financial well-being in the long term. This level of personalized attention made me feel like more than just a client; he treated me like a partner in securing my financial future.

    I highly recommend Michael and the team at Atramentum Tax and Business Services to anyone seeking not only exceptional tax assistance but also a true partner in their financial journey.

  • "Michael Knows How to Work a Complex Structure — and Get the Best Result"

    I came to Atramentum with a group of entities that needed sorting out — lodgement compliance was behind and the whole structure needed attention.

    Michael got across it quickly, brought everything up to date, and made sure we were fully compliant without fuss.

    Beyond the compliance work, he's provided solid tax advice on asset sales, handled EOFY planning including trust distributions, and consistently found the angles that get the best result without cutting corners.

    He understands complex structures and knows how to work within them.

    Exactly what you want when your business life is complicated.
