Oxfam Australia

Oxfam Australia has been working with Sothertons Accountants since May 2005. During this time they have undertaken a number of control audits in Oxfam Australia field offices located in both East and South Asia. It is the quality of the process, the depth of knowledge of the subject matter, the thouroughness of the resulting report and the value this information offers our operations, that continues our relationship with Sothertons.

Each engagement has demonstrated a high level of professionalism beginning with thorough preparation. Prior to arriving in our field offices, David Lissauer had undertaken research on the office, its staff compliment, the roles and responsibilities, budget, programs, partners etc. This preparation enabled the audit process to commence immediately and be constructive from the start. The tone of an audit undertaken by David is one which is focused on obtaining information required, giving honest feedback throughout the process and maintaining a positive attitude toward reaching the objectives of the audit, inclusive of staff and management who are part of the process.
 

Throughout each audit, the process has been completed within the timeframes required from agreement of the Terms of Reference to delivery of the final report. Communication is open and frequent with commitments upheld.

The ongoing relationship Oxfam Australia has with Sothertons Accountants offers a consistently high level of service combined with a comprehensive understanding of our operations and ways of working that continues to benefit Oxfam Australia and in turn the level of service and commitment we offer our partner organisations. I would certainly recommend Sothertons.

I have had the good fortune of having been introduced to David & Robert Lissauer about 14 years ago & engaged them as accountants & advisors to my family and our corporate entities.

During that time, I have always found David & Robert to be true professionals. As well-respected accountants & business advisers, together with their professional partners, they conduct their accounting and allied practices in a diligent and unswervingly proper manner, and my experience has shown that they allow no one to compromise their adherence to the strict principles of professional ethics and morality. They are also both extremely bright and talented professionals whose opinion and wise counsel are valued by clients and colleagues alike.

 




I have no hesitation in recommending the firm of Sothertons Melbourne for considered and focussed professional advice, and note that both David & Robert aside from their dedicated commitment to their profession, devote an immeasurable amount of time to communal and other causes, always giving 100% of their boundless energy to any matter or issue for which they may be responsible.

Menroc Pty Ltd

Menroc is a capital advisory group specialising in mergers and acquisitions, consolidations and specialised asset sales.

We have for many years engaged Sothertons both directly and for our clients to provide various advisory services, including due diligence and tax.  Whilst we have the ability to utilise any service provider (including the large accounting firms), we choose to use Sothertons.

Sothertons has worked with us on numerous assignments ranging up to a $200 million (enterprise value) consolidation of 5 companies – an extremely complex transaction.

 

 

Menroc wholeheartedly recommends Sothertons for their skill, attention to detail, value for money and strategic approach. It has been our experience that Sothertons adds real value.

I would be happy to discuss Sothertons directly with anybody evaluating their services.
