You’ll likely have received a few emails from Tom and Cam about an “Audit Shield Master Policy”. While for some of you in business, at the right time, accounting audit insurance is a very valuable product. However, we’re really disappointed in the way this has been delivered to you. The emails were not in line with our brand as accountants and not what you signed up to when you backed us to back you. We’ll not be rolling it out like this again, but will continue to offer the product to clients who want it.
As per last email – Beat us with your team and we’ll knock $1,000 off your accounting fees, or give you $1,000 of business advisory – the choice is yours.
